I like many of the eastern writings better.
Like, there isn't one Buddha. There are many. And they continue returning as long as needed.

And the story of iasoos is a story that has been repeated over and over.
The people at the Venus Project like to say that it all originated from an earlier story, and Jesus is just made up. However, from my understanding of buddhist writings, i like to believe that enlightened people enter the world time and time again.
