Help me out here, Ex Buddhists.

RE: Help me out here, Ex Buddhists.
Again you are making the mistake of approaching this with the abrahamic religion view. Buddhism doesn't claim a monopoly on kindness or any other human traits, nor are they saying that it was their invention. Yes the religious rituals and other nonsense is pretty much the same as other religions but because they were imported from other religions. At it's core buddhism is based on it's philosophical aspects, whereas in the abrahamic religions you get only some bits and pieces of philosophy to cover all the ignorance.

I understand your position, but you cannot attack buddhism as a whole, but you can start off with the many contradictions in their current beliefs, like those between the hinyana and mahayana practices.
