Buddhist Discussion Thread

I don't know. I say I'm Shinto/Buddhist, but recently I have been questioning the first religion. I definitely think that I follow the East Asian (Confucian, Buddhist, Shinto) way of life, though I have not yet decided which religion I should actually follow.

Dont have to follow any one sepcifically, I take things from Taoism, Buddhism, Shinto and Confucianism, things that I feel could make my life better and more harmonic.

Yeah, all you are going to do is make yourself look like a jerk. Buddhism isn't a "special snowflake religion," I'm not claiming it is. I'm trying to make a thread where Buddhist can talk about our faith. I live in the Bible Belt so I don't meet much Buddhist.

And I'm providing criticism that you apparently can't seem to answer. If you want to provide a thread in which only Buddhist can participate then there are other forums to be an edgy 14 year old.

I answered your questions, there is no need to try to proselytize. I don't want a "Buddhist Only" thread, but you are trying to discredit Buddhism. There are other forums to be a Richard Dawkins.

It ignores some very important stories like the one about him turning into a Bird and the subsequent lesson that ex-wives are greedy monsters.

Those are just myths.
