Well, I'm sure there are non-moonbat Western Buddhists/Zen-devotees out there. I've just never met one, and consider a self-designation of "Buddhist" by a Westerner to be as accurate a red-flag marker about that person's intellect and character as, say, "Marxist" or "deconstructionist."
And I'm not knocking non-Judeo-Christian Westerners in general, y'understand. For example, many neo-Pagans I've known have had far better minds, characters, and souls, IMHO, than most of the lighter-than-air Om-chanters I've encountered.
