“You can be both.”

Ephesians 4:14
(one version) “Then we will no longer be immature like children. We won’t be tossed and blown about by every wind of new teaching. We will not be influenced when people try to trick us with lies so clever they sound like the truth.”

Also you may want to check out the first of the Ten Commandments. It’s the big one. It says to have no other gods beside HIM. (IE: idols/lucky charms/lean on anything or any person - even the foolish dead people like buddha, Mohamed, etc who swayed millions of people telling them they could find peace (or whatever) inside yourself, in stead of what God says that we humans cannot have peace (or do any good thing) without HIM.

If I say you can accept Buddhist philosophy and believe in some other religion, it makes no sense to cite the tenets of some other religion to dispute that.

Your cites don't mean anything anyway. Buddha is not considered a god, just a man.

Buddha is not a deity.

If your understanding is that he is thought of that way…you would be mistaken.

We can hold “enlightened” ones in high esteem and try to use them as an example. That’s the purpose of the Saints as well. As well as the heroes of the Bible.

The beauty of this country is you are free to believe and worship how it pleases you. While it is clear that you hold your convictions strongly, not everyone agrees with you. And that is OK.
