I found this quote on a Buddhism promoting website - http://www.bffct.net/id71.html
"Imagine a religion without original sin, judgment, a wrathful God, a multitude of gods and saints, an eternal hell, Satan, a sense of guilt, a personality cult, idolizing a book, a blood sacrifice for atonement, a rejection of personal experience, holy wars, hypocritical rules, sexism, a cultish mindset, and money and power obsessions. Luckily, a religion without all of this negative core baggage does exist and it is called Shin Buddhism."
For comparison -
Imagine a place without absolute truth or morals. A place without laws, police, jails or justice. Imagine a place where everyone did whatever they wanted and they never felt any guilt or paid any consequences, even if they hurt others. Imagine their was no one powerful enough to save us from such a place. If such a place did exist, I assume it would be called Hell! Are we lucky if we find it?
