He said people believe in God are constantly at war like Middle East. He told me Buddhists and Taoists never go to war on religions. Why the God followers do not want learn from the TIbetan Buddhists?

Your Papa is misguided. People go to war because they want resources, power, to protect their sovereignty, or to impose their belief system on other people.
Who says "God followers" do not want to learn from Buddhists? Every world religions course I've taken is full of Christians seeking to understand the other faiths.

All the world's religions have a theme of inviting you to seek to find, even the Buddhists and Taoists. You are the one that must go on the journey of truth and fulfillment. Your father or none of the answerers can do this for you. I have never heard anyone from my Christian faith say they don't want a person to learn from the Tibetan Buddhists. I have been learning something about the Buddhists here in China. By the way, to learn is not against God's will.

"My dear colourfulball, I had similar circumstances occur to me when young. You read like you're still reasonably young and haven't come to grips with your environment yet. Parents are a powerful force in all our belief systems. I took the route of study to solve my religious and non-religious confusion. You might benefit by going in that direction because, apparently, you need to get all the different facts and beliefs known to you in order to make the decision of what you believe or dis-believe.
Remember, it's unlikely you will get answers studying only Buddhists and Taoists."
Good luck in the future!

The Tibetan Buddihsts are being threatened by the Tibetan Muslims, who want to take that region from China.
Not sure how the Buddishst and the Shi-ite/Sunni/Taliban are going to get along.
Islam usually converts by sword to head.

Because there is no God, and if there was one a God would not want mere humans worshiping it or being followers. We would be nothing to a GOD. Religion only causes hate and wars.

We will not welcome Eastern religions with open arms.
as established traditions go... it is hard to erase generations of church brainwashing. they're pagans damn it.
so I erased them (the church).
sorry honey,
God does not exist.
He is but an idea in your head.
And what you do with that idea is what makes him alive (or dead).
so tell me about your idea of God.
