RIDDLE ME THIS, Sup Forums:
Michael White
Carter Campbell
because they're heathens and don't desreve to live?
Lincoln Lopez
Because it has been overwhelmed by Atheism, Islam and the likes.
Nathan Jones
Sup Forums has really warped your mind, Hasn't it? Also yes, I know who you are.
Jack Torres
Don't forget the Dalai Lama's close ties with the NSDAP.
Jonathan Lopez
Because white people calling themselves Buddhist is cringey as fuck.
Wyatt Martin
Religions are only peaceful when have no power to spread themselves forcefully. And between major war between two different faiths, there is a constant internecine rivarly between sects of the same religion, shia vs. sunni, caths vs. refs, drukpa vs karma kagyu

Seriously, though I know this person is based on their writing style.
Henry Cook
Because karma is hippie bullshit as bad as Abrahamism, and because Buddhists ultimately celebrate and aspire towards absent-minded unconsciousness
Justin Harris
This is like taking a wrong turn and your face to face with some numale tending his bamboo garden
Jackson Evans
>muh intelligence
You literally used to subscribe to those Myers Briggs test to feel superior towards others.
Ian Torres
seriously, reveal yourself or fuck off. I don't even remember taking an MB test except online.
Angel Ward
Nah, should be fairly obvious who I am ;^)
Subscribe was the wrong word to use. I meant you used to believe in that shit.
Jaxon Green
Buddhism is atheistic.
Asher Cook

PSA about common misconceptions of Buddhism:
>Buddhism does promote worshiping of a God.
The questions of 'is there a god, is he almighty and good, and if so, does he love me' are questions the Buddha thought we shouldn't be asking. At least, not until we had fixed our own problems through enlightenment.
There are many festivals and ceremonies that some might call religious, but the Buddha never claimed to be anything more than a man, and these festivals often have very little to do with the Buddha's teachings.
Buddha would teach people of any religion or social standing in his time, and was accepting of any faith, because he taught man about man, not about God.
>Karma is not an external, cosmic justice.
Karma is instead simply a kind of psychological cause and effect. Bad karma causes bad outcomes in life, usually by causing yourself and other beings to suffer. Good karma relieves the suffering of yourself and others. Actions which are neutral produce no karma.
>Buddhists do not strive to kill all emotion.
It is a misconception to almost all who study Buddhism that Buddhists feel all emotion is bad. This is not true. Buddhism seeks to attain enlightenment - nirvana - by eliminating suffering. What causes suffering? Clinging to desire and impermanent states causes suffering.
You are free to feel the whole range of emotions. Happy, sad, angry, lustful, etc. Your suffering comes from your rejection or clinging to these emotions, as they are impermanent. You are also free to desire food, water, luxuries and such. Suffering comes from clinging to these desires when you cannot fulfill them.
>A desire to remove all desire is a desire in itself. It makes no sense.
The Buddha talked about this using the image of a raft for crossing a river. When you have crossed the river, you leave the raft behind. Just as when you have attained enlightenment, you do not need the Buddha's teachings anymore, as you will be free from all desire and suffering.

Just start naming names, I'll tell you when you get it right lel.

Buddhists are based and the 969 movement is bringing peace to Burma
Christian Russell
why do Korean protestants take religion so seriously?
Brody Hernandez
Daily reminder
Dylan King
every protestant takes religion too seriously, i grew up in a Pentecostal household and the wacky bullshit made me an atheist real fast.
Zachary Hughes
because they are truly the devil.
Xavier Brown
Islam probably killed most of them.
Christopher Roberts
Buddhism is a sham.
Hunter Parker
This.
As a vipassana meditator I approve this answer
Nicholas Phillips
Based NZ knows
Luis Carter
Because Christianity is true and Buddhism is false.
Kayden Bailey
I'm not sure if I can trust you satin.
Oliver Fisher
Now I'm no expert but, there's no room for buddhism to be false. It's just moral guidelines to make you be a better person. Christianity is riddled with voodoo hoodoo doodoo magic n' shieeet. Were christianity not an established religion today, it would be regarded as a cult just as it was in it's early years spreading into europe.
