Your honest one-word answer

[Gjallarhorn]

Our last two words were the same.



Terror for Buddhism seemed pretty strange; it's quite different than most of the words given so far-- peace, tranquil, meditation, etc. So, was just curious why that word came to mind for you.

He believes Buddhism is about creating mindless slaves. No big deal.

Which particular word comes to your mind when you think of the following religions?
Christianity
Islam
Judaism
Hinduism
Buddhism
Just one word - an adjective, perhaps - not a lengthy explanation as to why you feel this or that.

I think one word is not adequate. Word is always polar.

Christianity: Humble and arrogant
Islam: Peace and violence
Judaism: Money and abstract knowledge
Hinduism: Love and hate
Buddhism: Clarity and ambiguity

 

[FearGod]

Buddhism is Indian, not Chinese. It just spread to China.

like saying islam & christianity is worldwide
Buddhism mostly in china and the near by and only few in other parts of the world.

Whats with Judaism and money? Such unevolved thought

 

[Orias]

Whats with Judaism and money? Such unevolved thought

Not really, the whole reason behind this concept is because of what provoked Hitler to start the war.

That being that the Jews owned most of the banks and wealth in the European states and did not allow Hitler to draw money from in cause of his war.

Generally speaking though, I would agree that the thought is un-evolved.

 

[Orias]

Also considering that it was not a sin for Jews to run banks and charge interest while for the Christian faith it is considerably one of the most sinful things one could do.

You know that's actually not true, right? It's a falsehood perpitrated by the Nazi regime, based on long-standing stereotypes of Jews as money-hoarders and money obssessed, enhanced by the wealth conspiracy theory first widely advanced in the notorious Protocols of the Elders of Zion, a slanderous work published by the Okhrana (the secret police of the Russian Tsars) toward the end of the 19th century. In actuality, Jews owned very few of the banks in pre-war Europe, and controlled comparatively little of the wealth.

There is no law in the christian scriptures that says you must not lend out on interest. But there is that law in the torah.

“If you should lend money to my people, to the afflicted alongside you, you must not become like a usurer to him. You must not lay interest upon him.” Exodus 22:25

But when the torah was written, there were no banks, so if you apply this law to the modern banks, its way off base. The isrealites were an agricultural society and this law is not speaking about banking.

[Infinitum]

Our last two words were the same.

Meditation seems pretty high on the list with Buddhism. I had a hard time deciding which word to land on in some cases. Like Christianity, which I wanted to make into Research (Bible) or Bible (Research).

And I must be the only person in the world whose first thought about Islam are the wonderful illuminated manuscripts they've made.
