It would be evil to deny them such a service in the name of his lack of faith. - Bangambiki Habyarimana

Why doesn't the pope convert to Calvinism? Why doesn't the Dalai Lama, convert to Christianity, why doesn't Billy Graham convert to Islam, Why doesn't the Ayatollahs convert to Buddhism, Why isn't Buddhism swept away?

Filter all things through yourself. Accept only that which sits right with your soul.
