Hey all! I'd be surprised if anyone is here that still remembers me, but anyway, it's been almost a decade since I was a member here.

This could be of interest to you - A Look at Christianity, Through a Buddhist Lens from the New York Times. The article has a discussion of Without "Buddha I Could Not Be a Christian with the author Paul F. Knitter who is the Paul Tillich Professor of Theology,World Religions and Culture at Union Theological Seminary.
Born in 1939, Mr. Knitter began his path to the Catholic priesthood at age 13, studied theology in Rome during the years of the Second Vatican Council, was ordained in 1966, completed a doctorate in Germany and began a long and influential career as a scholar addressing questions of the relationship between Christianity and other world religions.
He received permission to leave the priesthood in 1975, taught for many years at Xavier University in Cincinnati and after his retirement was invited to Union Theological.

The internet is mainly populated by:
- teenage libertarians who live with their moms
- atheists who jerk off to Richard Dawkins
- conspiracy nuts who can't shut up about 9/11
- tough guys who could totally kick our faggot asses
- racists
- Nigerian millionaires
- emo kids
- 16-year-old girls
- pedophiles
- Rick Astley
Just an observation.
