>The Eastern traditions claim we are living in an age of saints, that many beings will become living saints during this time for various reasons
yeah I guess that's why eastern countries are so ripe
for communism or dictatorships and so far behind
on innovation, freedom and even simple life pleasures
When it comes to any form of salvation it's busy sitting on their hands
waiting for the hero to come along and do all the heavy lifting for them.
(above sentence is basically all Eastern religions in a nutshell).
Eastern religions are derived on obeying those in power - that one may just be the hero.
Remember it's only about 100 years since they had God-Emperors,
and look at china - pretty much going back to exactly that.
Sure china is successful:- on the back of stealing and aping the west
… and now trying hard to project their [God-Emperor] power over those
they stole everything from.
spent too long living in the East to see their shallowness AND RELIGIONS
any different.
