This is your own particular (Buddhist) interpretation of His teachings. Which is fine, since religion is a very personal thing. You seem to want to insist that everyone comform to your own particular take on this thing though, whether it be Islam or Christianity (which is ironic, since you've stated already that you're an Atheist)... your certitude makes you sound like some kind of Zen Pope
