Then you assumed wrongly. One can see and touch Buddhism. It exists. It is NOT a myth.

Now Buddha himself might be a myth; I've no way of knowing.

I explained (quite well I thought) that SOME consider Buddhism to be a religion (true or not is in the eye of the beholder) to me it is NOT a 'religion', for it has no GOD.

“Then you assumed wrongly.”

Darn. See what happens when we assume?

“One can see and touch Buddhism. It exists. It is NOT a myth.”

Yes, kind of obvious it exists. Never said it didn’t, never called Buddhists mythological creatures either. It exists, and has for longer than Christianity, as has Hinduism and other belief systems still practiced today. You’re arguing against statements I’ve never made and misrepresenting the ones I have.

“Now Buddha himself might be a myth; I’ve no way of knowing.”

Why not?

“I explained (quite well I thought) that SOME consider Buddhism to be a religion (true or not is in the eye of the beholder) to me it is NOT a ‘religion’, for it has no GOD.”

It does, and whether or not you consider to be a true religion or not is immaterial to the discussion.
