Thoughts on Buddhism

[genkaus]

These are not just MY assertions. This is eastern philosophy.

And you are the one asserting that bullshit.

So YOUR claims are better than over 2,500 years of all Asian knowledge and practice?

They are not my claims but yes, they are better.

Now That sounds delusional, that sounds egotistical. You don't even know what you are talking about. Ego is nothing but an abstract relative term. It is not even real.

So something abstract is not real? Get real.

Where in the brain is ego?

We are still trying to find that out.

According to Buddhism, the ego is in itself a delusion. Ego causes suffering because it craves, it disagrees, and it creates denial. Ego will get you by in life, but it will not enlighten you.

And that is why, Buddhism is wrong. If ego was a delusion then it wouldn't be able to cause anything, since it would not be a part of causal chain. Further, "enlightenment" is the carrot of your religion, like heaven is of Judeo-Christian ones - equally false and baseless promises.
