CONFUCIUS SAYS....BUDDAH SPOKE...JESUS LIVES

My hubby likes to research things and write about it. He has done hundreds of papers since I have known him and he is very well informed about our government, politics, the world affairs and such. But he recently has researched  Buddhism and Hinduism.  The similarities are stunning and the references to Christianity are interesting.

If you ever want a copy of his writings let me know and I can e mail anything he has written about to you. Ask and you shall receive!

But the weather is gorgeous today and I don't want to turn my blog into a political soapbox or anything so I will share some quotes from these religions with you. Choose your favorite and share it with me. You can also share any of your own favorites here too.

I will start out silly as he came across a page of funny Confucius quotes. This one cracked me up, "Man who lay woman on ground gets peace on earth." I am not a dirty minded girl but this made me laugh!
