Re: Onward Christian pork

Buddhism has been somewhat well-known to Western scholars for well over 100 years. And for over 100 years Western scholars learned in textual criticism have written on Buddhist sources of Christianity. American schools do not teach religion in its historical context, yet because the United States government endorses Judaism and Christianity, we have default religions that gain a selective platform and favor with the masses. At least in Europe and the East, there are no illusions of free speech, open inquiry, and source criticism because historical revisionists openly face serious retributions.
To say “The Buddha is the Father Jesus spoke of” is considered slanderous among some Western religious thinkers because they secretly cherish the misconception that Europeans have a divine lineage. However, stating the same thing would be welcomed in most of Asia. Some of the Middle Eastern cultures identify with an Islamic Judaic God, and most of them openly cherish the misconception that they have a divine lineage. To the Buddhist, divine linage is not transmitted through “special” blood, but rather through compassion, which leads to acts of sacrifice—this is how anyone can be “Born into the family of Buddhas” Vimalakirti.
The merger of Christianity and Buddhism could be catastrophic for the fundamental Islamic, Judaic, and Christian world in as much as two-thirds of the world’s population could form a union. One far-reaching effect would be Christians’ thirst to preserve this “new found” holy land (Nepal), thus supporting conditions for stability in regard to the general region. Today many great nations share historical ties in regard to ancient Buddhist sites. If nations such as Russia, Egypt, Britain, Italy, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Palestine, Turkey, China, Iraq, etc. could unite in their exploration of Buddhist antiquity, we would undoubtedly have a more stable understanding of our common ties. Buddhism has also affected the formation of the United States of America through Christianity, Paganism, and Evolutionism. Buddhism has also effected the formation of the United States of America indirectly due to the many “gray” areas found throughout the Bible that sparked sincere inquiry into the new age belief that God’s defining attribute was equanimity and not wrathfulness in regards to a path or a plan they believed that God was constructing for them. What I hope to show the reader in this book is how modern scholars overlook the obvious fact that the revolutionary “God” of Jesus’ location and time was none other than the Buddha. The Palestinians before Jesus’ time, in their pre-Christian trinity, would represent the three jewels of Buddhism, which are said to be the Buddha, Buddhism, Buddhists (Buddha, Dharma, Sangha) as the Lord, the Law, and the Prophets. This is to say that the Mahayanists (Buddhist sect) of Palestine and Egypt viewed God in few ways that were compatible with the Elohim (gods) and Yahvey of the Jews. Also, we will come to realize that such concepts of “Eastern thought” and “Western thought” were originally of one nature, or as Professor Zacharius P. Thundy states:
Actually, this current development is only a return to the pristine state of the East and West, which were once one; that is, there was no profound and unbridgeable cultural and political differentiation between the East and the West until the collapse of the Roman Empire and the rise of Islam.
