I think it is very interesting how Christian adherents research other religions in such depth. There is apparently one who had done a thesis on nirodhasamapatti! Amazing. I do find it mildly disconcerting as well, I must admit.

The ones I've noticed since I've been here, have been from students at religious schools and the questions were vaguely worded and difficult to understand what was being asked, such as "Is this influenced by Buddha’s attitude in the approach to poverty and in saying this do you agree or disagree with the stance?" - huh? I suspect these assignments are ways that students can be reinforced as to the superiority of their own religion. Especially that "survey" we had a while back.rowyourboat wrote:I think it is very interesting how Christian adherents research other religions in such depth.
