Well, christianity, islam, buddhism, Taoism, judaiism (sp?) and many others are wonderfull things, but so long as the world is full of people who are ignorant, judgmental, and closed-minded, these faiths will never reach their full potential. This is why buddha was so adament about freeing yourself of ignorance and greed, they're two of the main causes of religions being bastardized.

EDIT: ah, and thankyou sawleaf, that's what I was trying to get with buddha's view on ignorance, is that he discouraged blind faith in place of logical thinking.
