    No, it’s the satanic temple. Buddhism as practiced in Buddhist countries is the same shit different god, they dgaf, and have not read any scripture.

    The western perception of Buddhism versus what Buddhists believe is totally different.

    You kill a dog for meat? You drown it so it experiences terror and fights for its life, then you take its strength when you eat it.

    It’s just like any other religion, you adhere when it suits you, and you probably know nothing about its precepts.

        My point was that Buddhism is religion, they are all the same.

        First, they’re all bullshit.

        Second, a tiny percentage actually adhere to scripture.

        So if you say ‘I believe in X’, but your actions are contrary to that scripture should I really think you believe in ‘X’?

            That’s rather simplistic and dismissive.

            I would love it if there was some kind of unifying force to make the world better.

            Religion does not seem to be it though.

              Religion/Community. In a brighter world those words would be interchangeable.

              I am an atheist at heart, but you still have to acknowledge that the core values of a lot of religions are for the betterment of others.

              People don’t seem to be capable of being uncorruptable. You can have a perfect religion, or one that only adheres to goodness (like tst) and it will be PEOPLE who abuse it. Not the religion itself, just people cherry picking what they want.

              It could be laws, it could be a cult, it could be a religion, it could be a government. Some people just fucking suck, end of story.
