I don't get brain-washed with religious dogma, I don't have to rely
on blind-faith, you don't see many Buddhist zealots around, they
don't preach that "believe or go to hell" rubbish, it's an
inclusive philosophy, not an exclusive one, and it fits my world
view very well, almost every other religion professes to preach
peace and tolerance, but I see only Buddhists actively practising
it ... and most importanly of all ... I think it's intellectually
satisfying ...
that said ... I'm still an atheist though ... people shouldn't be
sucked in blind into a religion simply because someone told you
something you like to hear ... we should never allow our minds to
be closed ...
