Well, it's easy enough to believe. Buddhism is, after all, the State
Religion of Burma (fuck their imaginary new name). It's also a bigger
crock than Christianity, if such a thing is possible.

You have this fat guy, lurching from one excess to another, burns out
on earthly delights, gets all angsty like some little goth chick, then
suddenly he's all enlightened? Give me a break. If he had any brains
at all he would have paced himself. The good life falls in his lap, he
blows it big-time, and for this becomes a great spiritual leader? By
that standard your average mid-western American has more on the ball.

You know, I'm really tired of this bullshit. I'm supposed to accept
these extraordinary legends, from a time when most people couldn't even
read, as somehow worthy of my respect? Even as allegory they're way
short of the mark, yet these bastards take them as established fact
worth dying (or killing me) for? Fuck them!!! Lamas, priests, monks,
mullas, rabbis, sages, wise men, spirit guides.... ad nauseum.
May they all burn in HELL!

In the struggle against darkness and tyranny, ignorance and
superstition, every religion that ever came along has either dropped
the ball, or become the new oppressor.

Another extraordinary legend, if I remember correctly.
