He cared enough to respond. And again, he has, and you have ignore options, let him respond or do you think he can't handle himself?I have waived my option to ignore, and will continue on! I can stop if you want, so you can get back to Buddhism being bad if you like.
How it looked from my pov:
I saw your wife Betty yesterday, and she is Ugly!
You can call my wife ugly if you want, but you should know her name is Linda, and she's been dead for 10 years.
Clearly you are rattled by my insult as you have chosen to respond!
Um no. That is what you chose to see.
Calling someone's logic bad is not saying they are bad.
Religions(edit)use myths to market religions. Religions would not sell at all if they didn't over conflate themselves. It is only way after a meme spreads based on those myths, that the religious try to separate themselves from their origins. ALL ALL ALL religions do this.
Buddhism is a spin off of Hinduism. Just like Mormonism is a spin off of Christianity. Just like Islam is a spin off of Christianity, and Christianity is a spin off of Hebrew, and Hebrew is a spin off of the Canaanite Polytheism. The religions of the orient in all their forms are no different. No different than the appeal of a stage illusionist or casino, someone sets it up, dresses it up with all sorts of fantastic distractions and the fantastic images and icons act as the billboard. Religions water down their superstitions and fantastic claims after the fact, they are not separate.
Buddha was just a man who started another religion. There is nothing special about Buddhism.
