Interesting how none of the early Christians were considered as such or am i missing something?

@Tastyfrzz I exclude ANYTHING that has any deity's!

If you read the thread @bijouxbroussard started you will see exactly what I meant! I exclude a whole bunch including my own beliefs!

Even Sumerian beliefs were before the whole Abrahamic beliefs and I exclude them both as well!

Same with Hindu beliefs!

They ALL belong in religion category because of the deity factor!

@DeWayfarer Alan Watts is kind of a blend of everything. Ekhart Tolle is comforting.

@Tastyfrzz if you notice in my reply below, I stated...

As long as it doesn't refer to deities as the cause. Comfort in deities is not really a philosophy. It excludes thinking.

You think Buddha wasn't or still isn't a comfort to them?

Yet I exclude Buddhism.
