I remember my church decided that they would go all Green and be Environmentally Friendly, then spent months in their meetings discussing whether they should install lights around the church. They were discussing those really bright lamps that really light up the church, you know, the ones that consume loads of energy (1500 watts bulb?), the ones that aren't very green at all. And their reason for this? Well basically one guy saw a cathedral being lit up like that, and liked the idea that there could be a light to 'sanctuary', a way to be closer to God - a pathetic excuse to just show off the church in a pathetically small village. It was a completely ridiculous idea - so expensive, hardly useful and hardly environmentally friendly. Yet they spent months considering this!
And then all those Catholic priests abusing the kids...oh God must be pleased with them.
What people fail to realise is you don't NEED to be anything. You just need to be true to your own ideals. If your own ideals are a lot like those of a buddhist, go with it - but you don't need to be a buddhist. Religions and Philosophies are just designed to keep people separate and thinking differently.
I just feel like my ideals go well with Buddhism. But I don't feel the need to conform. Private Anglican school scared me off that1
'course' which teaches. Just more capitalism.
