    Buddhism. Gnostic Christianity. Hinduism. Probably a whole bunch more, I’m no theologian.

    The hideousflaw in the post you’re replying to isn’t that, though. It’s the idea that Israel invented Judaism, that Judaism is a monolith, that Israel is run on Jewish lines, and that Jews everywhere look to Israel for leadership.

    That’s some fucked-up thinking there. That thinking sucks.

      Buddhism

      The ones who believe the only way to reach Nirvana is to follow the rigid steps of the Budda and no one else can enter?

      A little bit of a stretch, and they have a different idea for “god” but it’s the same general idea, just no personification

        If you meet the Buddha on the road to enlightenment, kill him.

        Does that sound like following the rigid steps of the Buddha is a tenet of Buddhism?
