I love Buddhism's nonviolence and chillness, and I respect it wholeheartedly as a major world religion, but I could never be Buddhist.
At its core is the idea that desire leads to suffering, but is a life in which one desires nothing truly good? I agree that most earthly pleasures are extraneous, but what if I want things like a wife, friends, children, and people who love me? Is being an island really what happiness is all about?
Furthermore, don't Buddhists want to eliminate desire, a contradiction in terms?
Personally, I'd much rather look back on my life, see a bunch of ups and downs, and think to myself, "Wow, what a thrill ride!", than look back on a life of seclusion and/or nothing, due to a life in which one desires not even that which is worthwhile, and think, "Well, that was rather bland."

I don't know, what does FJ think? Is desire the root of suffering, or is desire for that which is worthwhile truly enlightening?

The secret to happiness is knowing that there's an alternate reality out there where gerbils shove humans up their ass for the sexual thrill.

buddhism in core is not religion.its more like a way of life

and many buddhist people actually have families(siddhartha gautama for example had a wife and 2 kids)buddhism only tells you to let go of unnecesary greed and lust wich only brings sadness and suffering

Desire is the source of pain and suffering as well as the fuel that drives mankind to greatness. If you want something badly enough in this life then you need the desire to battle through all the troubles and sadness life throws at you in order to reach your goal.

Eliminating desire won't lead men to happiness. All eliminating desire will do is lead humans toward complacency. If you really want to be happy then you need to reach the point of satisfaction; and not the greed and gluttony satisfaction but rather the feeling that you live a good life in spite of all the sad and nasty moments.

But that's just one man's opinion.

Its when you know that there's a difference between a need and a want and when you've gotten rid of all your desires at one point so that you can know what ones are necessary and which ones are causing you pain, after you've gotten rid off all of them you can go back and know which ones were ******* up your life and choose not to let them take control of you.

Well it looks like you're a glass half full type of guy. ( see what I did there) But in all seriousness I agree with you. Even though eliminating wants and desires would allow you to find happiness, why would you want have happiness but nothing else. I'm not trying to sound materialistic but like you said, Is being an island really what happiness is all about. I have a family who love and and I have 3 or 4 really close friends of mine, and even though my life isn't perfect I'm still pretty happy with it.

So apparently religion on FJ is mocked, ridiculed, and condemned, except Buddhism.

Buddhism is more of a way of life than a religion, since there is no deity

Buddhism is about the only religion that hasn't fought a holy war. They're the only religion that both preaches peace, AND practices it.

Buddhism is not a religion. I called it that in front of my sister once (who has a minor in Buddhist Philosophy) and I got to listen to her explain it to me for an hour. Turns out it's a way of life.

Because Buddhist's are ******* awesome, they're peaceful, they don't knock on doors asking if i have a moment for god, and just in general they sound like happy people
