  • excellent choice to leave out buddhism from this array of crazy godlickers.

    Scientology is a cult.
    Christianity is a cult.
    Judaism is a cult.
    Islam is a cult.
    Hinduism is a cult.
    Buddhism is a cult.

    Buddhism is certainly less corrosive than the others, and on the whole I would say it comes out - comparitively - looking almost sane.

    But it still makes the usual unknowable supernatural claims, for instance it still knows (like all religions, does not think but knows) people with conditions such as spina bifida that are wheelchair bound are there not because of a neural tube defect but because of their own transgressions on a previous life.

    But the biggest criticism of Buddhism is still the encouragement of the acceptance of suffering (in keeping with the monotheisms).

    But saying that If we had to have one preeminent world superstition - It would have to be Buddhism.
