I was raised in a Christian church, but I don't consider myself a Christian, or a Buddhist, for that matter. I do consider myself spiritual; I pray to a "spirit" when I do pray and try to pray for others instead of for selfish reasons.

If I had to pick, I'd MUCH rather be a Buddhist, a lot of hypocrisy w/ Christians, or so-called Christians. Buddhists actually believe like Christ did...love everyone, be tolerant, be peaceful.

Some recovery programs also take a lot of their beliefs and practices from Buddhism, too.
