Anything is great if you hand wave the horrible away.

Are we talking about Buddhism or Christianity here?

[–] agamemnonymous -2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Can you prove that Christianity isn't the result of some middle eastern Jew learning about Buddhism on the Silk Road and trying to translate it into middle eastern Jew?

That’s one hell of a game of telephone, then.
