What makes waffles and ice cream with chocolate sauce so special?

hehehe

No, I'm not trying to tell you that Eastern religions are special and western not. Its just that the average modern western man is religious only due to his cultural situation, and he has rarely been satisfied with what philosophical systems he's been taught since there seem to be so many holes in there. On the contrary, certain eastern 'religions' appeal to the intelligent man because they answer your questions before you've asked them. You just have to know where to look.

(Please don't ask me:'' but if its so great why are people in India and Sri Lanka and wherever becoming Christians?'' My uncle is a misionary there (I hardly know him), and I loathe what they are doing there)

I must admit I don't know anything about Eastern religions, but I definately felt the part I bolded when I used to be religious. Still, I think all religions are made-up, hence why I said there's nothing ultimately "special" about Eastern religions. What great answers could they possibly give?

As for your last paragrpah, don't worry, Twilgiht's popular, but that certainly doesn't make it a good book. Christian misionaries are very despicable, and quite frankly I think their activity should be made illegal. They used to use violence and opression to make those people convert, and now they're profitting of people's poverty and ignorance. And yet Christians like to criticise the Jihad.

I accept that paragraph.
