Even when he's posting an article from The Onion?! o.o
I knew it was from the onion, that is not the point. The point is that people, DO think their religion(not just Buddhists) but DO think their label invented morality and have the cure all that will bring peace to the world.
It may be funny, but that doesn't change that people ignore facts. I didn't post the facts for people who know it is fake.
I posted it for all religions, not just fans of Buddhism.
I'd seriously recommend to those who have not, including theists, to read Victor Stinger's "The New Atheism", and "The God Delusion" Richard Dawkins for starters.
Fine to be humorous about it, but it should be used as a teachable moment as well.
