  1. These mytholical births always seem to have a sense of children's fairy tales behind them. Both Jesus and Gautama...

  2. Buddha said: "Don't worship idols, or enjoy abundancy. Life is suffering and pain". Buddhists goes ahead and worships Buddha statues and fight for more power and bling. What a contradictory concept. It's almost as if Buddhists have more in common with Muslims and Christians than you like to appreciate. The messiah myth. Might as well joust around with Ganesha.

  3.  @minhnguyenphanhoang4193  Buddhists do plenty of "things", they're "not supposed" to do. Everyone has their own unique path - though interwtined with others. Ever been to Thailand, Vietnam, or Saudi Arabia? Where do you think they serve alcohol?

  4.  @thebestevertherewas  Does "inner peace" include laughter, gallows humor, biting irony, sarcasm and cynisism? I used to be buddhist on the philosophical and intellectual level in my younger years. Until I read "Siddhartha" by Herman Hesse in a drunken state of mind some time in 1997, and started questioning everything. My own sanity. Including yours.... as I wrote my 2nd poetry collection and wondered what the hell it was all for. Other than having another drink. Now, I'm a full time pot smoker, and norse wizard with a pathfinder ring.
