Buddhism denies the sufficiency of the Redemption work of Christ-—it denies Christ. It is idolatry, robbing from the Glory due to Christ alone, just as any other idolatrous system.

Christians repent from their idols to serve the true and living God.

"Christians repent from their idols to serve the true and living God."

So you admit to maintaining Druid and pre-Christian European pagan cult practices in association with your Christianity? Please explain how that is any different from Asian Catholics maintaining Buddhist cultural practices without being either a hypocrite or a racist. Asian Catholics are entitled the same "get out of hell free" card for maintaining indigenous cultural practices as holier than thou American Protestants and "reformists" who still maintain European pre-Christian pagan practices.

Amen. Pretty scary when people who call themselves "Christian" don't understand that fact.

"They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them:

But were mingled among the heathen, and learned their works.

And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them...

Save us, O LORD our God, and gather us from among the heathen, to give thanks unto thy holy name, and to triumph in thy praise.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting: and let all the people say, Amen. Praise ye the LORD." -- Psalms 106:34-36;47-48

And no one else.
