I ask because I am a Christian and my mom is starting to get into Buddhism. I'm not happy that she's getting into that stuff (I told her she's a far too angry person to become a Buddhist but I was being facetious). She is her own person though and its not my say, but, from a good point of view, at least people cannot tell me, "you are only a Christian because your parents brainwashed you"

None of my relatives - except for my wife - share my beliefs
But getting into Buddhism is good.
They have plenty of techniques for personal development.
So your mom can get rid of her anger

Hey! I'm so glad to hear from a true Christian convert. You know, my parents were Christians and that's how I came to know God through the church.
Well, I have many relatives outside my immediate family members who are Buddhist, but they mostly believe in the regions of Buddhism concerning prosperity(I think).
My mom on the other hand, is trying to get my great grandma to believe in Jesus Christ for her salvation. She's already 90+ yrs old and so time is of the essence here. I can only pray that God will open up her heart to the gospel of Christ. I encourage you to pray as well as we are fighting a spiritual battle. May the Holy Spirit empower you to share Christ to your mom and I'll be praying for you too, according to your nickname if you don't mind. I'm sure God won't mind.
Peace and love be with you. God bless! :)

I see things from your moms point of view because I am Buddhist and my family is Christian. We get along just fine. Accept and love each other is the foundation of both religions. So there shouldnt be any problems.

Yes I have, My mum, and so I can relate to you there even though my mum is not turning to Budhism but to the religion that she was born into unlike me, she has not bothered with the truthor the Bible even though she can use the Bible in herwords but not in actions, and no my parents did not brainwash me I found the truth on myown, and rejected the religion I was born into after researching it and the truth from the Bible, which was not what my religion that I was born into was teaching from!

Your mom is just now getting into Buddhism. (Why are you unhappy about that?) Was your mom formerly a Christian? How did you become a Christian?
All of my family members are Christian. I practice Surat Shabd' Yoga.

Yes I practice Krishna Consciousness and my parents are Christians, but we believe in Christ as the Son of God. IT is unfortunate that your mother is becoming a Buddhist because they do not believe in God. But one thing they do have going for them is Buddha is a Incarnation who tricked the Atheists in believing In Him. He said there is no God. But if one follows Him they will get some mercy and not go to hell and merge with Gods energy at the time of death. It is spiritual but a temporary situation. (a few billion years) Then they will fall back to the earth planet and get another chance to serve God again. God is so merciful He will do everything to help the fallen conditioned souls.

I'm the oddball of the family. I'm a Deist. Everyone else is some sort of Christian.

Yep, I'm a Catholic n my husband is Muslim. Neither one of us tries to convert the other n we respect our differences. We believe there is only one true God so the rest is semantics. Live n let live I say.

you sound like you're prostletizing your mother. let her be what she wants to be and don't judge her. maybe being a buddhist will cool her jets of anger. in answer to your question, yes, all my relatives have a different religion than i have--they believe in god.
