Cheer up. Life is full of such lessons.
Unfortunately for you Buddhism is nothing like Christianity. Buddhism cannot be understood using the Holy Google Search, it is something one must study, and dedicate themselves to. The first thing you learn when entering the study is to question absolutely everything about it.
Let down? Not at all, I am a hard person to upset. People do stupid things all the time, whether they be christian, muslim, or other.
"My people" did not let me down, everyone is entitled to make mistakes.
I will keep on practicing Buddhism, because from what it is about, is hard to turn away from
There is no god.
You have to practice self-betterment
You must practice acceptance
And it does confuse so many Westerners. I follow a branch of Japanese Buddhism.
