whereas buddhism is grounded in everyday reality and concerns
and simply seeks to alleviate human suffering, it seems some people
are stuck on believing some baseless, farout and fantastic ideas
that buddhism is "satanic" without even pointing out what exactly
is it satanic for. this is just silly
whereas buddhism is based on direct experience, transformation
and observation in everyday lives,rather than senseless
unscientific beliefs. some fundamentalists of other religion choose
to cling to their impractical, useless, and erroneous beliefs, such
as certain things are satanic, and silliest of all that the world
is going to end in year 2000 (actually the churches have believed
that they are living in the end times for more than a thousand
years and yet it doesnt happen), and plenty of other senseless and
pointless beliefs. not to mention many geniuses and scientists like
galileo were persecuted and labelled satanic and heretics for their
groundbreaking scientific discoveries just because it contradicted
some of the senseless, unscientific beliefs of the elite some...
which is unfortunate.
if anything is evil, i'd say it is the irrational blind beliefs
that are the source of all the senseless violence, wars in the
world and setback to a more peaceful world based on true
experiential spirituality, and scientific progression
