If Buddhism is approached as a philosophy, it’s harmless. I’ll take ten thousand Buddhists over ten Muslims any day of the week.
What could go wrong?
“Luciferian cult”
IF it is not the muzzies, it’s the bhuddies.
“Mindfulness” is the current rage.

“If Buddhism is approached as a philosophy, its harmless. Ill take ten thousand Buddhists over ten Muslims any day of the week.”
Yeah, but a separate issue.
My Apple Watch reminds me to breathe.
US Education System: All religions welcome....except Christianity
When a Buddhist commits suicide they don’t generally
try to take others with them.
This is not to say Buddhists can’t be violent,
however it’s usually in self defense.
I agree, The saying is true. “Buddhism is not a religion it is an education”.
Absolutely! Any time, any day.
Pick your poison.
Agreed, although as an agnostic, I don't have a God in this fight...
...see what I did there?
One more tentacle looking to take people away from Christ.
And actually, Buddhists have no God either.
“If Buddhism is approached as a philosophy, its harmless. Ill take ten thousand Buddhists over ten Muslims any day of the week.”
It’s far from harmless but islam is worse.
“And actually, Buddhists have no God either.”
And their idea of perfection is self annihilation.
This is what I call “Gee Whiz” Buddhism - something exotic to entertain the bored white middle class.
And there are those who would tell you that even modern Eastern Buddhism is much less of a mysterious Eastern phenomenon than it appears — that even Eastern Buddhism has been shaped by German romanticism.
Thailand is about 90% Theravada Buddhist, which is the state religion. I remember when there was a crackdown on the Moonies, and one of the charges brought against them was commission of the crime of “causing children to lose respect for their parents.” I would submit that any culture where that is considered to be a public offense is hardly headed to hell in a basket. Or even three baskets.
Well, if one was to judge Christianity solely by its fringes and kooky sects/cults, you could just as easily say that Christianity is “far from harmless.”
I don’t consider that a fair statement or a fair comparison.
Agreed. If a Buddhist or a Hindu bought a house adjacent to mine, Id sleep easy.
If, however, a Muslim bought the house, Id be a bit more wary. I might even put a shotgun near the front door. Buddhists dont go nuts and start hacking people with machetes. And Hindus dont set off bombs to kill infidels. But Muslims...well, you know.
