A brief background on myself: I am very confused spiritually, but I don't consider it necessarily a bad thing, I think there are defenitely some wierd forces acting out behind the scenes but I don't think any of the major or minor world religions have explained it completely....

anyways I was talking with my Uncle the other day and he was explaining the split in the catholic/christian church and all that and I asked him, "were buddism and hinduism just off doing their own thing during all of this?" and he said yeah pretty much, and he also commented that they, or maybe just hinduism, were forms of satanic worship. Now my uncle is preparing to become an ordained Greek Orthodox priest so I knew I wasn't going to get an unbiased opinion out of him but I am just curious if anyone knows where he is coming from with that statement.

I have studied these religions lightly but nothing too indepth, I am just starting to read the Bhagavad-Gita and I have read Siddhartha and some Alan Watts but I still consider myself a total n00b and I am just looking for some clarification.

so after that ramble if you are still with me then thanks for your input and have a great day!
