I wasn't talking to you Brian, and I've already read those books. The 'New Atheist' books aren't really my type.

The Onion isn't always funny, but when it is, it's hilarious. Thanks for posting.

What makes you think that?

Of course Buddha existed.

Anyone who reaches enlightenment is Buddha, there has been more than one and there will be many more.

You do realise Buddha isn't a god don't you? Buddha is who all buddhists aspire to become after any number of reincarnations.

I don't accept Buddhism as a truth but I do respect their right to claim a Buddha meeting their terms of Buddha has existed.
