My adventures: Worth Christian Forum

[Brian37]

So I have a friend who is christian and so I went to a christian forum to make friends, I clearly stated my intent was purely to make friends.

I hung out on the chat and had a lot of fun talking to some nice people . . . that was until the religious nutterbars showed up! (my screen name TheVeganBuddhist) he saw my name said "Vegan if I were you I would think about why I am here and not push your agenda"

I told him that in the introduction of the site that I am here purely for social reasons, to make friends with good people (yeah christians can be nice some of them)

I told him I am Vegan, I am Buddhist it isn't an agenda it simply is . .me

I was extremely kind so as not to be banned.

I never posted anything religious only replies to fun posts such as

If you were stranded on a deserted island what would you need?

I had made a few replies, someone asked me what I believed Jesus wise and I told him from bible perspective he was son of god, and son of carpenter. But I don't personally believe he existed.

After which they instantly put me into a classification of "nonbeliever"

All the posts I had made were deleted!

I was restricted from replying or even posting.

No worries I mainly hung out for conversation on the Chat section, so I went to log in . . . .

Well, I am going to do to you what they did to you right now.

You called yourself a Buddhist. Ok fine, but please understand that label is merely your preference and absolutely no religion in human history has been anything more than a sugar pill. Evolution was around long before Christianity AND Buddhism. And religion was around even before any written tradition.

Lots of people outside Asia get stuck on it because of the false perception that it is peaceful. Nope, it too has had its different sects and tribal beefs.

Both China and Japan have big portions of Buddhist populations and they are not friends. And Chinese Buddhists don't get along with Tibet's Buddhists.

Religion no matter which one in human history, as much as people like to claim it brings people together, also ignore that it creates a deadly "in group vs out group" dynamic. Buddhism doesn't escape that either.
