East vs. West

An epic battle of Eastern Philosophy and Religion vs. Western Philosophy and Religion, both of which have there pros and cons, is about to unfold.
Perhaps you support a Christian path and American point of view, or perhaps you follow the way of the Buddha and the philosophy of Confucius.
You may believe in god, you may say no to the ‘primitive’ religions. Whatever the case may be, this is where it will be argued.
Jesus, Moses, Abraham, Muhammad, The Buddha, whoever your prophet was, Confucius, Freud, Natchez, take the pain, deal the truth.
It is time, for East vs. West.
Let the games begin.

I have, for years, pulled from both east and western religions. I support the commerce from the west. think that there religious thoughts are farfetched. I support the buddhist relgion, but do not pratice any religon on a regular basis.

I wouldn't exactly group Christianity into a group with western religion, although I'm greatful for my Christianity!

As for my medical philosophy, it's VERY eastern.

Good point. 80% Christian in the US, and I'm sure it's bigger in South America.

Although, it is large all over the place, especially southern Africa, Australia, all of Russia (post or pre-communism), and India.

Then again, there are other religions that are big outside the area they are most commonly connected with...

Anyhoo, I guess my answer to your question is, then, Western Ideology, Eastern Medical Philosophy.

I am a Protestant so i am with the western religion, but the philosophy of the East intrigues me and i find a special curiosity of ancient Japan and the Samurai's way of living as i have already bought two katana's(swords to the uneducated) 8)
