[Iti oj]

Christianity: caught-up

Hinduism: variation
Buddhism: nothing

What do you mean by caught-up?

 

[InformedIgnorance]

Christianity - Hypocrisy (I assume this occurred to me because I am quite familiar with much of the doctrine and scripture, which I find to be not in keeping with the actions of many who label themselves such)

Islam - Erratic/Polymorphic (I assume that this occurred to me because of the radically different interpretations and the dramatic and violent impact of some of those interpretations... it wasn't the word but the concept that occurred to me, so it is a blend of the two terms)

Judaism - Punishment (I assume that this occurred to me largely because of my initial impressions Jewish perception of their god (from high school) as being a god of punishment, who punishes adherents as well as non believers, that great episodes of suffering were seen as being the result of the failures of the people)

Hinduism - Vague (I assume that this occurred to me because I do not know as much as I would like about Hinduism, I do however note that it incorporates a range of beliefs and philosophies, even to the extent of at times being unclear if it is monotheistic, polytheistic or a range of other positions)

Buddhism - Transcendent (I assume that this occurred to me because it is a religion largely about attempting to transcend one's state - and I suppose the states of others)

 

[Bob Dixon]

What do you mean by caught-up?

Caught-up in change, having strayed far from the original teaching. That kind of thing.
Also, caught-up in relatively unimportant issues, whilst ignoring the more important ones.
