abrahamism vs buddhism: is abrahamism elitist?, page-6

@ddzx,

All over this forum you present yourself as an authority on the Bible and Christianity yet you continue to as the most basic questions regarding it's teaching? Your animosity towards these things are also not very Buddha-like so I have to wonder if you are still at the level or self-seeking?

As to your questions:



"1. what evidence is their that these three religions view all human beings as equally deserving of respect?"

Heaps.

"2. can we find teachings in these religions that view all beings as equally deserving?"

Yes. (Not sure about Islam though)

"3. or is there evidence these 3 religion nurture elitism?"

Anything can be twisted to suit your own agenda, even Buddhism"

"4. do these 3 religions contain any equivalents to the Buddhist teachings below?"

Yes

"5. does Western arrogance, where it regards its culture as superior & its actions beyond reproach, possibly have a root in these religious values?"

See answer #3

If you don't want t pony up your favourite uncle might have a copy, if you get my drift, but that would be too Buddha-like either. :)
