Buddhism is a popular form of demon worship also known as witchcraft. It is a sin.

10 There shall not be found among you any one that maketh his son or his daughter to pass through the fire, or that useth divination, or an observer of times, or an enchanter, or a witch.

11 Or a charmer, or a consulter with familiar spirits, or a wizard, or a necromancer.

12 For all that do these things are an abomination unto the Lord: and because of these abominations the Lord thy God doth drive them out from before thee.

13 Thou shalt be perfect with the Lord thy God.

Deuteronomy 18:10-13King James Version (KJV)

Most people consider Buddhism to be a philosophy rather than a religion...

Buddhism does not require belief in any specific god, nor does it condone belief in a diety

Buddhism has no sacred texts requiring you to murder heathens/unbelievers...

I'd say it's much less dangerous than religions, and has some interesting texts which can be interpreted on various levels...

Unlike religion, which condemns critical thinking in lieu of faith... Buddhism encourages thinking and reasoning

Mostly harmless, but probably does not have the answers you are looking for

Seconded this.. It actually doesnt matter now whether it's that wrong or not - Buddhism as a religion. But if you think about it, just as long as they are not harming anyone, i think they are safe..

Isn't Buddhism the one where they prepare all their lives to get embalmed? I'm not very informed about Buddhism, sorry.

Then do your Christian duty and murder the witch! (joke, please do not kill anyone)

Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

A man also or woman that hath a familiar spirit, or that is a wizard, shall surely be put to death: they shall stone them with stones: their blood shall be upon them.

I can't recall a Buddhist ever hurting anyone, or hating fags, or flying a plane into a building, or kicking their children out of the house for being gay/atheist, or trying to teach creationism in schools, or adding "in God we trust" to our money (the irony) & "under God" to the pledge of allegiance, or putting up 10 commandment monuments, or knocking on my door at 9am to tell me that I'm a hateful sinner who will burn in hell for eternity...

... or burning the Library of Alexandria not once or twice, but three times... oh the book burnings... the science lost... sickens me...

... or the Crusades, Inquisition, Witch-Hunts, Dark Ages...

Buddhists tend to be peaceful people who keep to themselves (probably something to do with that introspection thing they like)

I agree. Mostly problems start arising when people want to get simple answers to very difficult questions. Since no one, even modern scientists, can provide a 100% accurate answers we should not condemn those who think differently. Every opinion has a right to be expressed.

I disagree...

When Muslims want to marry a 12 year old girl, I will speak against it...

When Christians want exemption from criminal charges of negligent homicide because they chose to pray for their child with cancer rather than pay for the surgery(more than 30 States have this law)... I will speak against it

Basically, I am against all the crazy shit people justify under the guise of religion... Strapping a bomb to your chest? Flying a plane into a building?

I wish religion had never been invented

I thought you guys grew out of burning witches.  I hope you understand that moral code provided in the Bible is wrong.

It is immoral to kill someone who works on Sabbath, cut woman's hand because she grabbed someone's balls, smash babies, or boil and eat babies.  I hope you understand this and developed your morality outside of the Bible.

If you still insist Bible is a divinely inspired and a guide to live by, I suggest you read it again.
Hopefully, we'll not read about you in the news....

For the record I never killed a female when she made contact with my cubes.  And I won't harm the next one who does it either.

It's the only vaguely religious thing that I have any time for really. I'd class the rest as mental illnesses. Buddhist monks do seem to be right violent buggers sometimes but I'm sure they have their reasons.
