In respnse to Armando, Buddhism being either a religion or a philosophy is in itself a debate. Some people say it goes one way, some the other.
I have to agree with Soozin- Christianity in itself has become so overwhelming and politically active that I am starting to get rather sick of the idea of Church. Right now I don't have a religion, but then again, during this time period of religion intertwined (sp?) with politics, I think I want to stay this way.
And what about other religions? There are more out there that Judisim, Christianity, and Muslims, even if they're not as popular.

No, it IS a way of life.
Ask a buddhist.
Armando, all religions can be considered a way of life. Religion and philosophy are usually connected in religious cultures. As for asking a Buddhist, ask one and you will find it is a religion, but ask another and they will protest that it is a philosophy.
As for Christianity, the Church IS becoming far too political and corrupt.

Why do people have the proclivity to deny everything that is not what they believe?
Quote:Buddhism is a philosophy based on the teachings of the Buddha, Siddhārtha Gautama, a prince of the Shakyas, whose lifetime is traditionally given as 566 to 486 BCE. It had subsequently been accepted by many as a religion. Buddhism gradually spread from India throughout Asia to Central Asia, Sri Lanka, Tibet, Southeast Asia, as well as to East Asian countries such as China, Korea, and Japan.
I was not denying it, I was merley pointing out the fact to you that some see it one way or another. I personally belive that it is a philosophy, but link has a good point-you can't call it as simply a way of life, because any religion can be classified as that. But then, now that I think of it, dosen't that mean that religion all in and of itself CAN be classified as a philosophy?
Arg! I think I just confused myself. I hate it when I do that. Now my brain hurts.

Don't you just hate logic? lol
Anyway, all religions have a philosophy AKA way of life, but not all philosophies (sp?) are religions.
Buddhisim is more of a religion. Most religions such as buddhisim are not referred to as philosophy because they already contain philosophy which is the core of the relgion. I am very familiar with Buddhisim since I am a hindu. Buddhisim has basically evolved from hinduism and has adopted many of the peaceful princples such as ahimsa (non-violence), dharma (duty), and karma (cause and effect or action or reaction). I agree with soozin. Religion is a way for one to lead a meaningful life. Religion helps us find one's inner self.

Um... I didn't mean to spark a hot debate with my assertion that Buddhism was a religion. But could you in essence be Buddhist and Christian at the same time? What makes Christanity a religion and Buddhism not? I honestly don't know, so I'm asking for what you all think.

You can be Buddhist and a Jew, you can be a Buddhist and a Catholic. Because one is a religion and one is a philosophy.
One has a god and the other doesn't, one has a book and the other doesn't, one has an established church and the other one doesn't.
lol...
I am a Hindu & a Christian... Serisouly
My pal actually use the same SN as me for this course notes (we share since we are in same "company" (apFaq)).
Anyway, i agree with what my pal said ealier that buddihm is not just a philophophical idea but i disagree that it is a religion & agree upon the fact that armando stated.
