It is a way of living.
I don't buy into religion, not even slightly, I don't understand all these tales handed down of super humans rising from there ashes and dieing in cycles. I think religion was a tool to control people when people knew nothing of the World and it was a way to control the masses. Required measure at the time, I agree with that but now, its outdated and science proves this.
I'm a man of science, therefore religion is not something I can have faith in.
I do however follow Buddhist beliefs to a certain degree, I pick and choose what sections and how deep I go into, because my religion, Buddhism, allows that for me.
Buddha said you should question the World, even Buddhism, for if man questions things then he can learn, and his fellow man will learn in turn.
Buddha teaches me how I can live a better more fulfilling life, be happy, and after all, being happy and healthy, arent they the two main things we all chase?
