Bill,
Judaism is unconfused, because its religious texts are based on (normal
and natural) human-nature's dualistic values. (Old Testament values)
Christianity is schizophrenic, torn between Judaism's 'feet on the
ground' attitude and Jesus' 'pie in the sky when you die' values. (New
Testament values, not-including the Gospel according to Thomas)
Which of the two basic Judeo-Christian Minds better approximates 'Buddha
Mind'?
