buddhism is one of the few religions which i have almost no disrespect for. you did, however, leave out the assertion that when one dies they are reincarnated into a human, animal, plant, and whatever else buddhists have a soul. also that one shouldn't seek pleasure or pain, but to have neither. btw, no disrespect. it's a relief to hear people posting relevant replies. you may not believe me, but it's been kinda stressful trying to convince everybody that when i ask for a religious debate i'm not also saying "please harass me, you have nothing better to do".
