Your tolerance of all faiths is pretty typical of Buddhists. Happy New Year.

You must not be very secure in your faith if mention of Karma bothers you so. You can expand your mind and explore other cultures and religions and still be an awesome Christian. Best to leave your religious views at the door or in the P&R forum.

Um, let's perhaps leave the religion discussion in the P & R forums, hey? Back on topic, I do hope that you are healing well, and I am very pleased and heartened to hear that there are still some decent, caring people in the world today! :-)

And ask yourself, what is Christ supposed to save you from?

Bad Karma.

We're all trying to describe the same truths from Billions of perspectives.

Good to hear that no injuries were sustained and a NICE motorist came to your aid.
