Oh Fabian...

In the expert from the book "Dues Destroyed" , Fabian leaves very little for the reader to misinterpret. As a matter of fact, the excerpt from the book can best be seen as a deliberate and systematic attack on Christianity and its doctrines. One of the main comparisons that Fabian draws is between the "barbaric" beliefs of Christian theology and the knowledge that the Buddhist doctrine possess. Fabian also brings an interesting point to the table, that Christians "value their lives less than trash." Here, Fabian has directly attacked the concept of being a martyr, one who dies for their faith. He also discusses how Christians had taken over other lands throughout the globe, specifically referencing the Philippines and Mexico. How they try to dismantle the beliefs of the natives, and claims that they are only able to convert those who they do because they are lands with "nature close to animal". Fabian's assertions may, in fact, not be incorrect either. Much of the converting that was done in Mexico was because of the diseases that the Spanish brought with them, and so the native peoples believed that the Spanish (Catholics) were correct in their beliefs, since they did not get sick, and converted to Christianity. Fabian also claims that Christian missionaries have no other goal than to destroy and manipulate the cultures that they encounter, tear them down and then "import their own." He argues that they must, in fact, tear down Buddhist belief, the Law of Buddha and Way of the Gods to bring in Christianity. Fabian's "Dues Destroyed" does really batter Christianity against a wall. He accuses Christian missionaries as government destroyers and Christian faithful as suicidal barbarians with no regard for their own lives. Fabian, however, paints Buddhism in a pure, clean and intelligent life that runs and moves society in the way of tradition and peace. He equates his years of following Christian doctrine with a mistake, and claims he gained new knowledge and destroyed the "wickedness" within him from the Christian doctrine by becoming a Buddhist. He says there is "little truth" in the Christian doctrine, and that he was glad to become a follower of the Buddhist faith.
