This is what religion does to you. I'm not gonna say Islam does this to you, because similar things have happened to Christians and Hindus and pretty much every other religion too. 'Cept may be the Buddhists. They just don't seem to care.
I love how people either totally ignore, or are just ignorant about the different types of Buddhism and the violence/wars that have been perpetrated in the name of Buddhism, including some people who practice it. There was this one guy who was arguing that Buddhism (he was practicing) is the most peaceful religion and the most persecuted religion, in America. He was going on and on and on and it was like everything he had read about Buddhism was out of a Goldenbook, which made me really skeptical about how long he had been practicing and exactly what the fuck he was practicing.
Every fucking time someone pulls that I want to school them on the past 30 years of Sri Lanka's civil war. Like, I don't hate Buddhism by any means but, just, fuck. It's a religion like any other and not some new age~ philosophy for pretentious white asshats.
Ummm this! Humans are violent, selfish, destructive, bigoted regardless of what they believe, how they pray...regardless of how they justify their violence.

I'm overwhelmed by the attention that my little post has got! Must be the Early Bird Syndrome. Anyways, I stick by what I said about religion.
