    Mark,
     
    I think you need to explore the writings of modern non-fundamentalist
    Christian theologians and mystics. You will find that there are enquiring Christians
    as well as a majority of static ones, the same as with Buddhists.

    Hello Scott,
    Christians believe in God do they not?
    Buddhists do not believe in God do they?

    I conclude that a Buddhist is more free to explore the consequences of their
    enquiry. The example i have given is that a Buddhist may be more open to the
    MoQ - a Christian cannot live with the consequences of what the MoQ says and
    will therefore 'flavour' their rational enquiry in order to align the MoQ with
    faith.

    It is a matter of static conditioning - and Buddhists feel such conditioning,
    or samsara, is a block to achieving moksa, or liberation. For the Christian,
    static conditioning is a prerequisite of being a Christian - you cannot be a
    Christian without believing in God.

    I am sure you will correct me if have gone astray?

    All the best,
    Mark
