Destruction of Iraq is not an issue as it was done by a not “baptized” president.
To liberals, Buddhism was not religion but a philosophy or something else. It became religion as soon as world saw violence from monks. Are Buddhists justifying it with religious source/text? or you can just blame religion because Buddhisms have all of sudden become an organized religion?

Last I chekced Budhism was a religion for sure.

Buddhism

“Buddhism ( /ˈbʊdɪzəm/ or /ˈbuːdɪzəm/)[1][2] is a religion[note 1][3] and dharma that encompasses a variety of traditions, beliefs and spiritual practices largely based on original teachings attributed to the Buddha and resulting interpreted philosophies. Buddhism originated in Ancient India sometime between the 6th and 4th centuries BCE, from where it spread through much of Asia, whereafter it declined in India during the Middle Ages. Two major extant branches of Buddhism are generally recognized by scholars: Theravada (Pali: “The School of the Elders”) and Mahayana (Sanskrit: “The Great Vehicle”). Buddhism is the world’s fourth-largest religion, with over 520 million followers or over 7% of the global population, known as Buddhists”

I think you have some comprehension issues my friend. If you reread my previous post, there was nowhere I blamed religion. I am simply saying that religion or faith is never to blame. Its the practitioners who are to be blamed who twist things for their own advantage.

And I have noooo idea how destruction of Iraq is relevant here. By the way, Iraq war was initiated by Senior bush and then junior bush and both are super conservative Christians.
Please do your research. Thanks.
