For The most important facts of your question, please visit the website http://www.mormon.org
&
THE GOOD SECRET EVIDENCE
Just read these important things
1)Absence of anything is nothing and the life is you, you can not come from nowhere so even god can not pop out from nowhere. You are like software and your body is like hardware of the computer, even god can not get anything from nothing especially you are the life. The Life has to come from life. You are a Spirit child of God.
2) God can not change the past because time has no beginning and end as numbers -2,-1, 0, 1, and 2 so on.
3)God can not do the wrong things because god does not have the option to choose so the god is not capable of doing wrong things.
Please have a look this http://www.youtube.com/user/seemlyme#p/u/9/l_MbHz2EUOQ , http://www.youtube.com/user/mikebatie

The Evolution is Assumption. Why? The Life comes from dead chemicals? No, if you believe dead things come to life, then why don?t you believe in Jesus Christ resurrection. The Lord is living God for instant think about who programmed the unlearned Prue-program data (the skills) for birds to built the beautiful nest and communicate so another animal skills like extraordinary navigation skills for turtle to navigate thousands of miles to the same beach to lay eggs, where previously hatched from and more on and on the intelligences so with The Evolution Missing Links Assumption these are impossible intelligences to work as they are now. There are so many investments from co operations to misinterpret the actual evidences for the profit of weak atheism but The God is real with us.

The Law of mercy cannot rob the Law of justice so Justice demands the punishment of our sin but The Law of mercy requires the forgiveness to give to us & God is perfect in perfection so he cannot violate his laws so The God provided the way to our salvation to overcome our sin so Jesus Christ sacrifice is much needed to return to live with God, so Jesus Christ is our savior.

New Testament ? John ? 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seethe the Father do: for what things soever he doth, these also doth the Son likewise.
If god always perfect in perfection then there have to be beginning with God for the organizing progress of all things. So, there is No end & also No beginning for all things, including this on going organizing progress.

If every one is perfect like god then there is noting to do for every one. So god has the plan for us to be perfect like him.

The Book of Mormon ?And if ye shall believe in Christ ye will believe in these words, for they are the words of Christ, ??.and they teach all men that they should do good.? 2 Nephi 33:10
If you are humble, Please, Pray to know the truth from true God (from the true source of all things) by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit with great faith (by your real earnest feelings)

And I pray that you will take what I say seriously. If you truly believe what you believe is important, then you will think about what I wrote. There is one true God, one God, he created this world, and he created everything.

Seriously & Truthfully
The servant

No religion in the world represents violence. This is the people who become violent for their personal benefits.

See one thing.

Religion No matter Buddhism or Hinduism or even Jainism, (any other if included) preach vegetarianism or non vegetarianism depending upon certain facts and impacts of the society.

Buddhism came out of Buddhas Philosophy to know the causes of Worries and a solution to win the all physical worries and reach Nirvana.

Jainism is believed to be as old as Edik religion.

Now, It rarely matters you are vegetarian or non vegetarian. Lord Buddha enjoyed non vegetarianism even after his enlightenment. Infact he died because of eating pork at his oldage by a tribal near bodh gaya.


Non Violence comes out of violence. So Buddhism and Jainism preached Non violence because, in those days, (When hinduism did not exist in its present form) there used to be various tribal beliefs.
Tribals believed in violence and non vegitarianizm. To bring peace in society , all religions preached non violence.

Both. Though Jainism is strict about vegetarian food where as Buddhism allows animal food if the animal is not specifically killed for the monks.

Probably the answer is Jainism, as it emphasizes on extreme form of non-violence than Buddhism does.
Jains have given elaborate definition of Ahimsa (non-violence). It should not limit with non-harm to animals or not giving any sort of physical pain as most people think nowadays, but also involves not hurting any body's feelings on any basis. Jains also follow a strict lac to-vegetarian diet. They even dink only filtered water.
But it must be noted that, Mahavira once told that no living creature can practice total ahems in his life. He said that even when we walk, talk or breathe air in and out, we kill micro-organisms. He even mentioned the number of micro-organisms getting killed in breathing process (at that time people had no microscopes of any of the equipments to know about all these things). We can't surely stop all these processes. So ,we should try to minimize our violence in any way we can, through our food habits, through our talks (not hurting others), etc.
Buddhism also provide some elaborate definitions of non-violence in its own way but it does not emphasize on it as Jainism does. They believe that if we accidentally kill an organism then it will not be a sin but Jains say that it is a sin (though we will have to pay for it to a very less extent as it was done accidentally but we will have to pay for that.)

Jainism.
A Jain monk walks bare feet to prevent death of insects by accidental crushing
and cover the nose with a white cloth to prevent death of micro organisms from
accidental inhalation.
I think, Jainism is the height of non-violence.
