I think religion just like other cultures stuffs (e.g. dining, politics, music, arts, etc)
when one one of those things origin from one place to another, the local people will modify what they got from the one who created that thing and would add something to what they got.
A very good example is the western style foods/dishes. What we saw in the hk style steakhouse was originated from Europe, but then when this dining style got "transferred" to hk, we hk people modified it. Same as politics.
i see....

you should use the word "自修" like someone said if you mean practice?
its like the ex-president Bush: "either you are with us (the usa), or you are our enemies"

Aren't you alwasy given choices in life? So you think life is pushy? Does your boss tell you you either come to work on time or you're fired. Does your parents tell you don't play with fire or you will burn yourself? These are cause and effect? I can understand why you say it is pushy. Just like your bf/gf tells you to marry him/her or break up right? But this is not cause and effect argument. It's a preference.
So if a Christian tells you if you don't believe you go to hell. OK, so if you don't have the very basic belief that there's a god and he will judge people on their sin, then you think this is pushy. Yes, I can see why. However, if even the lower moral humans have the idea of a justice system in our society, why would a god doesn't? Shouldn't a god (doesn't have to be Christian god) has higher moral?
There's no physical proof, it's a belief. If you believe in only one true god then you believe what he said. It's a series of believes.
I don't think 佛教 teaches you to be 平安喜樂 lor, instead I think it wants you to become no happiness, no sorrows, no feelings about anything lor. At the end you become "no self"???
one good thing is that more and more 神教徒 today know their old way to spread their religion would just create more dislike of their religion and they have changed their way that, if they found out u have insisted to have no interests to their religions, they will just walk away instead of being pushy. Thats good, more peace
