My wife is one... So she says

If I were to practice a religion, it'd probably be Buddhism. Me personally, the idea of reincarnation sounds much more plausible than the concept of a God in a spiritual realm called heaven.

Nope we're too angry and emotional a people to gravitate towards something that actually works, is logical and would actually benefit us

We're too emotionally attached to the 3 Abrahamic faith myths that at the center all have a God that's homicidal and deals with petty human emotions like jealousy and rage


Because I think deep down we relate to that more than peace, acceptance and compassion

 

[Don'tCallMeLuckyB]

I used to be a buddah lover

 

[buzzkill]

I am studying it... the philosophy is dope

 

[Bruce LeRoy]

I believe the cat that played Adibise from Oz is a Buddhist.

Tina Turner is one as well I think.

I don't agree with you that any one ethnic group are particularly attracted to that, but individuals definitely are. Hardcore Abrahamists are pretty much all emotionally disturbed so they gravitate to a godlike father figure who's the same way
