Is Buddhism the most slave tier religion? My understanding of it is that the goal of Buddhism is non existence. Like no wonder Asians have had a history of being crushed under the feet of tyrannical regimes, it seems like they all just want to die.

One who has attained nirvana neither exists nor does not exist. It is beyond all conceivable human categories.

Buddhism is all about the middle way. They are not annihilationists nor extreme pacifists.

"Freed from the classification of consciousness, Vaccha, the Tathagata is deep, boundless, hard to fathom, like the sea. 'Reappears' doesn't apply. 'Does not reappear' doesn't apply. 'Both does & does not reappear' doesn't apply. 'Neither reappears nor does not reappear' doesn't apply."

Wrong. The endgame is to see with clarity what actually exists.

Christianity demands you open your asshole to be gaped by the big J.

It isn’t hostile, but it must conform to their sinocentric worldview and not challenge the state. Why Buddhism in east asia has multiple schools and no central figurehead.

You're conflating the advanced spiritual goals of religion with how its mainly practiced.

Buddhism as the laity mostly practice it traditionally, doesn't have Nirvana as the goal. Instead lay Buddhists opt to gain merit (good karma) by doing positive actions like supporting Bhikkhus and performing religious incantations and rituals.

You're reborn in a new body and realm. Only stream-enterers and arahats are destined towards Nirvana
