You can be an athiest and a religious person at the same time.

Yea Buddhists have existed for some time.

If a board is trash then simply don't post in there. I say let the people have their safe space where they can be what they feel they can be.

He can just create his own religion community board if he wants an echo chamber.

Pretty sure Buddha openly rejected the idea of gods. I thought the polytheistic Buddhists were well in the minority.

There is definitely a Bhuddhist logos but science usually overules from what I understand.

Anyway, this guy has about as much luck getting the Corporate Music board canceled, we all know that won't happen.

Or, the board with the description about how corporate rock sucks.

OP in the link is upset it gets more action than the philosophy board?

Seems like he's upset he can't talk about what he wants to talk about and thinks no one else uses that board for its purpose so he wants the board closed.

Do we have a CE equivalent of this ever?

That board is a lot heavier than I previously assumed

That guy is upset because the religion board doesn't talk about the stuff he wants to see.

it has been said that of bhudda

but then what of things like Goku?
Goku is literally a Bhuddist god from the chinese version of the faith

but let me research:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secular_Buddhism

Secular Buddhism has its roots in Buddhist modernism and secular humanism,[3] and is part of the broad trend of secularization that has been ongoing in the West since the recovery of classical Greek culture in the Renaissance. Many aspects of secular Buddhism are associated with the abandonment of hierarchical features of Buddhist monastic culture among some lay Buddhist practice communities in the West during the last decades of the 20th century in favor of democratic principles of civic association and the inclusion of women, disrupting traditional structures of patriarchal authority and gender exclusivity.[3]
The Insight Meditation movement in the United States was founded on modernist secular values. Jack Kornfield, an American teacher and former Theravadin monk, stated that the Insight Meditation Society wanted to present Buddhist meditation "without the complications of rituals, robes, chanting and the whole religious tradition."[4] S. N. Goenka, a popular teacher of Buddhist Vipassana meditation, taught that his practice was not a sectarian doctrine, but something from which people of every background can benefit: an art of living.[5] This essentially treats Buddhism as an applied philosophy, rather than a religion,[3] or relies on Buddhist philosophy without dogmatism. While recent scholarship has shown that such framings of Buddhist tradition were in large part rhetorical, and that teachers such as Goenka retained their traditional religious commitments in enacting their teachings and disseminating their meditation practices, such rhetorical reframing had a powerful impact on how Buddhism was appropriated and repackaged in the context of the emergent globalities of the latter part of the twentieth century.[6]

yep very very new

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buddhist_deities

Buddhism includes a wide array of divine beings that are venerated in various ritual and popular contexts. Initially they included mainly Indian figures such as devas, asuras and yakshas, but later came to include other Asian spirits and local gods (like the Burmese nats and the Japanese kami). They range from enlightened Buddhas to regional spirits adopted by Buddhists or practiced on the margins of the religion.
Buddhists later also came to incorporate aspects from the countries to which it spread. As such, it includes many aspects taken from other mythologies of those cultures.

Seems the out I am finding on Bhuddism having no "gods" is that the incorporated deities from pre-bhuddist faiths are seen as equal or lesser to enlightened humans.....

still how you claim to have no gods and literally have actually gods idk someone explain I am not that advanced in understanding of this

but I do know across bhuddist nations there are temples and shrines and worships and riutals

Religion will never die.
