I've a limited knowledge of Bhuddhism, but I've found it infinitely more profound, wise and compassionate than anything I've experienced in a Christian context (and that would include this thread  ).
Bhuddhist teaching enriches what Christianity diminshes imho. |

You are misrepresenting what Sparrow said - a Christian upbringing does not neccessarily equal a good one. Nor does going to a Christian school. Note, I'm not saying that a Christian upbringing would be a bad one, either; just that the phrase "I had a Christian upbringing" gives you no indication as to the quality of their upbringing.
