So, out of the sophistry, into the disingenuousness?
Man, that atheism_fail thread reminded me: did I ever tell you that fucking Buddhists troll and flame depression and other mental illness support groups just as bad as Scientologists, and for the same reasons?
Yeah. Buddhists fuck with other Buddhists about it, too - after all, transforming your mind is the whole point, so how can you really be practicing sincerely if you're taking meds?
Of course, these are American Buddhists we're talking about. What's even better is that the Asian Buddhists, in particular, tend to *hate* American Buddhists and consider them fast food religious, basically, and distorting their precious.
So... it's a community... dedicated to bigotry... against people who reject religion?
I can think of nothing more productive. It's upsetting enough when I see atheists say things like, "Why aren't there more atheist charities?" (I don't know - maybe "We feed the hungry BECAUSE THERE IS NO CHRIST" is a bizarrely exclusionary mission statement?) but this... yeah.
