so obvious you dont know even the basics of buddhism and you get into arguments about it. Your christian roots make your poems tilt to western beliefs its in your bloodline may be u'll ignore this but your ignorance towards the whole bag of buddhism makes you a science hailing person who thinks that part of buddhism is right because science failed to prove it is wrong you believe that part of buddhism not the other part - samething can be seen in the western world they get on to argument thru questioning sinhala culture that is based on buddhism -- go read "panadura wadaya" not to make hatred with christians and buddhists just make you see the truth about arguing about buddhism
your respect is less for buddhism and all other religions you are not a buddhist and you have no "shradawa" without it you wont get far from living according to Dhamma or what ever you say that you have rightly chosen the truth from buddhism.
The hail to westerners can happen in two ways born christian and the ignorance to find things about other religions(in this case buddhism) and born buddhist and havent seen the light in it, but you'll still hail science so you get into buddhism thru science but you try clean buddhism up with the cultural things -- you dont know that the base was buddhism because you didnt learn buddhism thru the culture
