Why waste time & go to Hell when only Christ can get you into Heaven?


"Choose today whom you will serve: as for me & my house, we will serve the Lord"


"Then shall all nations know that the Lord alone is God"

Buddhism was started by the Buddha Siddhartha Gatuma when he reached enlightenment sitting under the ban non tree. It's values are detachment and self-denial. There is no God in Buddhism although when asked the Buddha held up one figure painting toward the sky or heaven. Living 100 years before Jesus he may have been a profit.
Confuscinaism is a philosophy; I beleive it's orifgins wer much more political than the others. confuysicious wished to engratiate himslef witht he emperor, it does not emphasises the same self denial but common truths that came to be accepted in china as a practical way to live.
Socrates, as expressed by plato, includes alll aspects of philiosphy and poilitcs. It essitintially looks for the ideal and has the praticality of confucinsism, buyt not the slelessness and detachment of Budhism. Athough I don't thin it would run counyter any of these. Many of us believe philospophy died with socrates. Socrates taught during a time when the greek pagan Gods still in vogue but we losing their hold on socieity. Socrates helped reduce this luster and wass thus accused of corrutpting youth. Socartic thought can be seen as a precuser to religion Christianity, since it has the elements of the ideal and the existence of the either -- whcich can be seen as a rudimentery version of heaven. This is almost mystical what is missing of course is God the creator fo all this and the dual existence of the human in heaven or the either simultaneously. It propbabaly has more parrells with mormanism than with christianity.
Intersting question.
It must be rememebred though that they all existed prior to the messianic epoch and thus did not have the reality opf Jesus nor the help of thechurch and the Holy Spirit in which to form. so, they are all alittle off the mark, although the Republic of Plato is pretty interesting, and is always deserving of a look and considertaion. The idea of philospher kings is not bad, and has similarities in the old testment. However it has to be contrasted with the thoughts of the enlightenment, and thus falls short in practice.
