All I can say about Buddhism is that if people are going to insist on being religious, that the least they can be is become a Buddhist.

@Allelse I totally agree with this

@LifeInMyEyes I mean the Burmese are a little mad, but that's got more to do with them being Burmese than being a Buddhist.

😂 Fair enough!!

@LifeInMyEyes They're going mad at the moment, trying to wipe out anyone they dont like, well, one bunch of folk living in Burma are wiping out another bunch of folk living in Burma and they're Buddhist apparently.

@Allelse Yeah. It's got to one of the more benign religions... not that I know much about it...

@walabby I like to think of it more of a way of life than a religion really.

@LifeInMyEyes That's the way that I often hear it described...

@LifeInMyEyes This is correct. It doesn't qualify as a religion by philosophical standards. It's just said so because of its size and the want to regionally depict beliefs on a map.
