I can go out and find Christians who believe the world was created literally as described in the Bible, and that the stories are literally true. I'm sure I can do that for Jews and Muslims as well. Could I do that for Hindus, Shinto, etc?

>>214638634>>214638676I am LITERALLY Buddhist. I kneel to a little shrine in my house and light oil lamps. I try to meditate everyday and be the best person I can beNone of that means I do any of that with a real expectation of an afterlife and none of that means I do it because I was brainwashed. I am 100% certain that if I was raised in any other religion and I know what I know now, I'd convert to Buddhism
>>214638883>BuddhistYeah, Protestant Buddhist (aka fake westoid hippie buddhist)
>>214638883>I kneel to a little shrine in my house and light oil lampsNot what Buddha said to do.
>>214638067i doubt all religions especially outside the west have such a fixation on scriptural literalism. i feel like if you asked Zhuang Zhou if the great bird really flies over the northern lake you are being silly. a lot of religions are non-scriptural and have no holy text come to think of it so the question wouldn't even work for them.

>>214638920Buddha wouldn't care how he venerates or even if he venerates. That was the whole point. He gave advice and told the world to take it or leave it.
