How was the religion of the South different from that of the North?

I suggest you read the "Declaration & Disclaimer" which gets appended to
every post to this list for clarification on what is 'allowed' and not
allowed on this list...
What Roadsend explained is that when people start to use any religious
treatise to support their views, one no longer has 'discussion' but
prosyletizing...since one's religious beliefs all boil down to belief and
faith, not facts.
I could argue for the establishment of some law based on what Buddha
taught...but if other's do not follow Buddhism, my argument is
meaningless, and if I insist on quoting tenets of Buddhism, I'm then on a
soapbox, prosyletizing my PERSONAL beliefs/faith/superstition, and not
DISCUSSING FACTS.
Now, I COULD discuss aspects of life in a Buddhist country, and compare
how their political system and quality of life compare to, say, a Moslem
or 'Christian' country...that would be discussing FACTS...but if the
discussion degenerates into an argument about which religion is
'correct', then it's OT for this list...
