I never hated on anyone. In fact I clearly stated that i do not want to shit on her beliefs. I think the immaculate conception is just as ridiculous as the Conception of Buddha. Those things (like with Jesus) were created after his death by people who wanted to deify him. The stories are just as much fairy tales and I'd be writing this thread even If I were Christian or if her friend was telling her that Buddha was born of a virgin (which was clearly stolen by Christianity, so how can it have credibility?):

Following a philosophy or way of life is very different than "being a Buddhist" and regardless of it's classification by the world most true Buddhists will tell you it's not a religion.

Well Said!! I hate when people don't read the entire thread and then post as if they know what you are saying. I am an Atheist myself, but I respect people's beliefs as long as they do not impose them on me. Problem is that a good number of religious people want to impose their beliefs on you
