  Buddhist nationalists do genocide all the same, like in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rohingya_genocide

    It’s almost as if it’s the nationalism part that makes them do that rather than having anything to do with their religion.

    Same with christianity, the core religion is somewhat fine, it’s the church and the people that used it as a tool that arent.

      “20 Anyone who beats their male or female slave with a rod must be punished if the slave dies as a direct result, 21 but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property."

      Yeah I don’t disagree. However, in practice the tool is what it’s used for, e.g. guns. I’m pro-gun, but it’s foolish to not understand where the gun control people are coming from. Religion is the same.

  Buddhists are also capable of committing violence in the name of their religion. Look at Myanmar
