Buddhism/Hinduism/Taoism are all kind of variations on the same religion tbh. Well Taoism is the only one that's distinctly Chinese but it picked up a lot of concepts from its neighbors through the years thanks to how fluid it was from inception.

All of these religions have views of the universe that are corroborated by psychedelics so I think they are probably correct imo

I alone can see through the media bias.

I'm also stupid on a scale that can only be measured in Reddits.
there's a guy in E/N right now who has achieved a perfect existence of no desires or attachments. He claims its hell. Buddhism wrong??!!?!?

buddha got to heaven and God was like "you had some good ideas but drat you're such a nerd lol"

but later they were good friends and eventually buddha got over himself and God let him become Santa Claus, the end.

true story when I was a kid I thought romans looked like british people. All the old rome movies used to hire aristocratic looking british actors for some reason. I think I was like 14 when it suddenly hit me one day, out of the blue. "HOLY poo poo! ROMANS == ITALIANS! WHAT THE gently caress"

On that subject, there were a bunch of little Greco-Buddhist kingdoms in Central Asia. Alexandrian successors who were later converted to Buddhism by Silk Road missionaries. Made some nice statues.


Perhaps the Greeks introduced pedophilia to Central Asia, but we'll never know for sure.

Muslims get a lot of poo poo from everybody because of Islamic terrorists and the like, but if you're a Buddhist no one ever mentions the genocide of the Rohingya in Burma or the Sri Lankan fascist movements happening right now. They just go "ooh how spiritual", it owns

actually every goon or redditor (same archetype really) mentions those things like it actually means or indicates anything other than the very mentioning of it revealing the speaker's misunderstanding

well that doesn't even make sense, lukewarm things (your mom's tits) are some of the most pleasant to have in your mouth, while things at the extreme can even be physically damaging
