An American Lama in Philadelphia
There are all kinds and manner of belief. It may be worth looking deeply into them to see what is the core of those belief. Because in the end they are either false or true and there is no in between. The article below reveals one aspect of the believe of a popular world religion. Then compare with what the Word of God says about these in 2 Peter 2.

All-American Lama: How an 11th Century Mystic Was Reborn in Philadelphia
"As a 5-year-old, Erdne Ombadykow began to display signs of eccentric behavior. While his many brothers and sisters were busy watching cartoons on TV or playing in the streets of their rough Philadelphia neighborhood, Erdne would bug his mother to take him to a nearby Buddhist temple.
At the temple, the moonfaced little boy would mimic the chanting monks. Erdne's parents were Buddhists — they were immigrants from Kalmykia, a Mongolian enclave inside Russia — but not particularly religious, and they were baffled by their son's devotion. In 1979, when Erdne was 7, the Dalai Lama visited the temple, and the little boy crawled straight into his lap."

2 Peter 2
1 But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies, even denying the Lord who bought them, and bring on themselves swift destruction.

It seems biology (not religion) equals morality
Below is an excerpt from an article that tries to show that(human) morality has got nothing to do with religion but is biological.
Well, OF COURSE IT IS BIOLOGICAL !!! Religion, which is man's creation, can never achieve what is truly GOOD, whether Buddhist, Muslims, Christians, Atheists. On the other hand we all know at least a few Atheists who have such good morality that it puts religious people in shame.
Followers of Yeshua (Jesus) should not be surprised - that Morality is biological, built into the DNA of our brains, whether we are religious or not. Guess who build / designed our brains? Who else but the Great I AM.

"Recent discoveries suggest that all humans, young and old, male and female, conservative and liberal, living in Sydney, San Francisco and Seoul, growing up as atheists, Buddhists, Catholics and Jews, with high school, university or professional degrees, are endowed with a gift from nature, a biological code for living a moral life."
