Buddhism!

Buddhism!
Another thread!

What do godless think of Buddhism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhism.

It seems such a peaceful religion that definitly doesn't advocate violence. It barely advocates God even.

It's idea of "sin" is being stressed out and out of whack generally.

It's idea of "virtue" or "saintliness" appears to be sitting peacefully sipping a mug of green tea.

RE: Buddhism!
I've always viewed Buddhism as more a philosophy than a religion.

Buddhism tends to put more critical thought into what it represents than Christianity does.

RE: Buddhism!
As full of shit as catholicism.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So, do you plan on actively participating in any of your threads? Or, are you just going to spam us with POE garbage until you get the ban hammer in a couple days, and the forum instantly forgets you ever existed?

This one feels very 'True Christian' to me. Something about the way the text looks, and exclamation points in every OP.

RE: Buddhism!
I'd say Buddhism is better than Christianity in that it seems to have less ridiculous beliefs and less violent followers.

Y'all ever heard of Myanmar or...?

Zen Buddhism does have some great features that I implement in my life. But Buddhism can absolutely be a violent religion.

Not really a joiner.  Aren't all of the sheep clubs pretty much the same?

The Buddhist idea of sin is more that it's invented nonsense.

I'll admit my knowledge of Buddhism is mostly limited to stereotypes lol

RE: Buddhism!
But sister, isn't your religion the one true religion?
Why are you asking us to look at false gods for?
Maybe sister is working for the other man!
