it is all the fault of BUDDHISTS!

To be honest, I thought you were talking about Hinduism, Islam, and Buddhism. If you think putting Buddhism into a discussion on fundamentalism is strange, have a good look at Buddhist nationalism and political Buddhism in Sri Lanka especially, where Buddhist monks lead the war on the Tamils, and Burma. But the fundamental (sic) differences between these three, and the three you are referring to, are so strong that such a scenario is a snowball in hell option. Once you get away from religion itself, however, fundamentalists from all six religions in practice have ganged up on women, there being almost identical restrictions on female participation in all cases. The only thing that stops the Western three from having the same complete control over women that the other three have is Western humanism and feminism. The strength of this anti-female push is so frightening that the scenario you question could easily mean the end of civilisation as we know it: thank God (sic) that is is so unlikely. Lash

hmmm, if the big three gang up on the little guy....what would happen? The same things that happen now, I'd think. Seems like it already is. (c link below) You can't change human (or inhuman) nature. I know, not a very appealing reply, was it? www.savetibet.org

what is this all about? why dont you come out and say what you want to say instead of being all coy about it?

If ,and I do mean if, this should ever happen I think it would not last long enough to make any degree of difference. I think these three factions would end up fighting amongst themselves. They have been at odds too long and have too much too much pride and such to ever come together.

i have mentioned this several times...religion has always been misused for vested interests. this is probably because religion cannot be questioned..and those who dare to question and punished severely publicly to deter others. so you can practically do anything in the name of religion which would have been considered as horrendous crimes if committed under dictatorship or even democracy. it is simply because of the ignorance of people towards religion that encourages such acts. even in these modern days there has been not even a single income tax audit on religious organizations...why?? this precisely allows them to misuse their funds. the irony is that being peaceful has now become a crime as the extremists will not let you live in peace.

it is all the fault of BUDDHISTS! what ?

jb old blue bunny you, oh no if they all got together they would not decide they had anything in common except the urgent desire to kill for the sake of whichever God they believe in, so would turn on each other and create a lot of noise at least.So their next victim would be one of the other two religions, sacrificing themselves all for their particular religion. Since I am not gung ho on any of these three, I will keep my books on the shelf 'where they belong. Even the odd Dean Koontz one which I cannot stand, but was given to me from a friend. So I am really very peaceable.

First of all, be easy, I won't trow books on you. One of the reasons is that I'm affraid you would not give them back .. Now .. the 3 big brothers would make peace .. lol, (un)fortunately, this will never happen. On the other hand, there are at least other 3 other religions - hindu, shinto, buddhism - so if the first three would make a corporation, odds are those other three will do same. So we will eventually end up with 2 big opposite blocks .. which will lead to a similar situatin with now, just at a larger scale ... Well, I recommend to all to build up a global/worldwide Zen garden ..
