I couldn't stand the guy, so if someone could sum up what he was saying, I'd be thankful.

He's basically saying that because he personally is speaking about the flaws of religion, which there are many laws to religion as they cannot be truly proven, religion does not exist and no one should believe it because he doesn't. He demeans peoples opinions and attacks them, he turns something spiritual and applies biological factors which is not usually done with Buddhism because of the three types of body which are not directly linked, but each a component which does not require the others to be ones self, one being the physical body, the other being the non-physical (which he relates to the physical one that it has a direct link with genetics) and the third one is the truth, the enlightened ones self.

He just says its a load of bull because there is no real proof as it is spiritual and whats the point in believing it, he's an Extremist Atheist.

im a satanist, all i can say is buddhism tells you to not do anything you enjoy and to remove all happiness from your life.

christianity tells you do stop doing the things you like the most

and being a muslim is quite bad aswell but im not going into that.

Being a satanists makes you think you're the only important thing in the universe and you can do what you want when you want.

In other words, being a complete *****.

[-Eyeless-]

Not really it just says that you can indulge in your carnal desires and you can enjoy everything without the shackles of religion holding you back. Not neccesarily a complete *****

(I researched it for a book I am writing)

People believe in diffrent things. Never in my life have I heard that Christianty makes you stop things you like, only for 40 days and 40 nights. Unless of course you enjoy killing people, stealing and being a overall horriable person - then yes its taking away the good parts of your life and what you enjoy.
I don't know much about Buddihsm, but I know that it obviously cannot stop you doing all those things, unless of course you want too.
Muslim? Most of my friends are Muslim and they dont seem to struggle, they fast because thats part of there belief's, because themselves want to do it. It stops you eating pig, but most of my friends have tried it and don't like it. Its your choice to wear a scarf or not and yes they do have some beliefs, but you can still double cross them if you want too. There's no where saying, you MUSN'T do this. Most people do it because they believe it. People make the religion what it is.

I personally believe in Hinduism. I think satanist is basically the easy way out, not to have any rules in life and believe you can do whatever you want to do - shoving your beliefs down other peoples throat's and getting away with murder because you don't believe in it all.

I think people need a religion, to hold some rules in there lives. I dislike people who **** off relgion and try to say its not a big deal.

An people screaming "IM AN ATHEIST!!".. I hope you don't celebrate Easter or Christmas then, I really do.

OH MY GOTH!!!

It's hard to describe in what I actually believe. I want there to be a God, but I can't put my faith or trust into something which may or may not be there to save me. In a time of desperation, I will rack my brain for every solution instead of turning to god - yet at the same time I'd still want him to approve of how I've lived and try my hardest to justify everything I do. I'm a keen believer in redemption, that you can make up for your past **** ups, but I think that's the extent of it.
