So, Mia, you back to tell us how you'd be pushing old ladies into the street if you weren't a buddhist? I have that about right, yeah? If it weren't for buddhism, you'd be all like:
"Rape and pillage!"
eh? No, no...wait, we both know that's ridiculous and we've discussed it before. Nevertheless, when your faith is criticized for it's immorality you have a habit of falling back to "helping you to be a good person" despite agreeing, many times..in no uncertain terms, on these boards, that buddhism isn't at all related to any of the above. You're not a rapist, or a pillager, and you don't want to push old ladies into the street. I've asked you all of these questions..haven't I? In fact, if it weren't for the whole karmic rape business you seem like a solid guy. Seems to me buddhism is -keeping you- from being as good a person as you would be without it.
