First, Graham, I am honored and humbled that you would give my thoughts on Buddhism such interest and attention. I'm grateful for your comments as you have studied all the eastern religions and philosophies far more than I have so I am learning much from you.

I'm a bit uncomfortable when you use the word superior to describe my beliefs about biblical theism. As an orthodox Christian believer, I am working through some of the issues of belief related to science so I hope that what comes across is more honest searching for the truth than arguments in favor. Sometimes it is hard to distinguish, I understand, but hopefully you see that my thoughts are more about inquiry than apologetics.

As for biblical theism (I do try to distinguish a bit between biblical theism and Christianity to include Judaism and Islam within the biblical theist perspective where it fits) and it "superiority," I do have thoughts and ideas about universal consciousness, the One, the deep interconnectedness of all things and how that fits with biblical interpretation. I am slowly working my way to that in these writings. So, hold on for that and I will be most interested in your thoughts and ideas.
