I know, I thought of it after I posted it. I just meant one of those famous guys that were circumcized and followed the tradition of Abraham. I'm sorry you were not be able to exptrapolate the ANALOGY, but chose to use it as an opportunity to put me down. To call Buddha non-Vedic is like saying Jesus was not a Jew, living in Jewish culture, and espousing Jewish traditions. Buddha would have had even less influences outside of a vedic culture practicing vedic (or hindu like ) traditions. By the way, JUDAISM is not my history. Vedic history is directly connected to my Keltic roots. The first Christian in Scotland was a Keltic Druid, said to have Siddhi powers [the 'powers of the Sidh'] in Gaelic (kicked out of Irelnad by the St. Patrick Christian fanatics). The Kelts are known to have come from Afghanisthan Pakisthan region around the same time the Vedic are said to have come from there to India . They carried many Vedic like traditions with them.
