Pern - It was fairly short lived conversation. Once we realized we were on a similar page it sort of fizzled out. Not too many other participants.

Funny how many different definitions of the word religion there are. For me, a religion has a strict set of rules to adhere to. It also tells you "the way it is". There is no room for any other form of thought.
A philosophy has guidelines for you to follow, but is more about teaching you how think. How to open ou mind. In the case of Buddhism you have the observer effect and how perception is reality. These would never fit into a religion as they leave too much room for the individual to come to their own conclusions.
