He also seems having a hard time understand "sweeping metaphors". But of course, it's impossible posting without treading on some religious' toe.

As a Buddhist, I feel unfairly grouped with the other type of religion when people talk about having faith. I don't believe in the supernatural, because faith isn't integral to Buddhism in that fashion.
And while I would say the Christian stance on homosexuality and such is a passive-aggressive sort of bashing, let us not make it the focus of this thread. |
I don't even call Buddhism a religion anymore as it's so vastly different, and, dare I say without getting the Christian train on me,
smarter. The closest I can get is "belief" or "lifestyle" but even that feels far-fetched.
