Distinguishing Buddh

» Indigital - is new age spirituality complimentary or contradictory to Buddhi

Hello,
I'm new to Buddhism and come mostly from a "New Age" background, which references Buddhism, Taoism, Hinduism, Native American Spirituality etc as if it were all one and the same with subtle differences pertaining to culture etc.

I've recently expressed my interest, in a New Age discussion board named friends of cwg, to clarify whether these relgions actually condone the writings of "Conversations with God" series but was thrown off that discussion board, despite their belief in the philosophy "To Each His Own, without Judgment That is the Motto" (book 1).

I've taken a CwGers summarization of some of the beliefs and ideas found in those books and wanted to see if devout and knowledgeable followers of Buddhism, Taoism, Zen, and Hinduism would agree or disagree with these beliefs:

-There is no such thing as right and wrong.

-There is no such thing as Good and Evil, only what IS

-There is no such thing as sin

-To Love is to never choose to be what may be percieved as Negative

-God is experiencing through You. The good, the bad, the ugly, and this is what the purpose of life is.

-Hitler went to heaven

-There is no such thing as the Devil or Hell

-What some may wrongly define as Evil is actually complimentary and a necessity for what we percieve as Good and the yin and yang is an explanation of this relationship

Does anyone wish to share what buddhist philosophy may say in regards to these topics? Thanks
