Are you sure it worked? Because I have to say, you seem pretty possessed by anger and hatred on here... it came as a real surprise to me when you said you were a Buddhist; based on the vitriol I've seen so far, I'd assumed you were Christian.
For instance I've been on a Buddhist forum, and it's (or at least the one I went to, buddhismwithoutboundaries) a completely different experience from here or any other forum I've been on. Most people are matter of fact, to the point, respectful, it's just all very neutral and detached, as I associate with Buddhism. They don't rant, they don't rave, they don't say any more than they need to. It makes for an arguably boring experience... not somewhere you'd go for excitement... but nonetheless a peaceful one. For me, it makes for a nice change of pace when I need one.
A Buddhist? Sure I partake in the divine Soma,
glad tidings to one's Soul, uplifter of spirits,
a new Buddha for the world to see his merits,
I was speaking of Kaneh Bosm or Haoma,
it is known so variously throughout,
the Soul of the Prophet he gives,
the followers are the one who receives,
this most wonderful gift and clout,
What potent learnings about the Soul,
does one begin to ascertain,
when they read scripture with an unlocked brain,
But this to you should be your goal,
Also do not mistake a little good fun as anger and hatred, I only mean to mock atheists for their spiritual dilemma, in an effort to show them their hypocritical beliefs.
