Does Christian theology predict that I can't eliminate suffering from my life, because I cannot eliminate sin?
Does Buddhist theology predict that I can't eliminate suffering from my life, because I cannot eliminate impermanence?
Would a truly happy person then falsify both religions?
I refer to the religions as they are - but it does seem most religions undertake special pleading where they're not allowed to make mistakes or be corrected. This, despite several corrections in Christian theology in historical document, and I would not be surprised to find the same for Buddhism. They evolve/change, ironically due to impermanence.
If you need a definition of 'happy,' just interpret charitably until it works; though I'd take it kindly if you'd let me know what definition you end up with.

New failcomment system also fails to publish my comments, it's not limited to yours. Keep trying, it will usually work, eventually.
