There's no hurry; moreover 'urgency' you seem to highlight has no physical meaning (it's something in our minds)... What practicing Buddhists have is 'appamada' - it's more or less dedication; not urgency...Critical part is entering the Path - i.e. becoming a Stream Entrant...It can be done; it has been done; and it is being done...But you will probably not be aware of it... one can never see Dhamma through others... (because Dhamma is not a faith to believe... it's something to be realized ourselves, gradually...)Dear friend, hope you'd realize how vain your attempt to compare Buddhism with Christianity religions... Theruwan saranai!</blockquote>
