  Only landowning or capitalist white men could vote and participate in politics…

  Depends on the school of Buddhism sure. That’s true. Some don’t have anything resembling what we call God or even gods tho.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pointless existence⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I know, but still, the oldest schools of Buddhism don’t have anything that would equate to what we in the west consider a god, or gods.

  I know that in east asia, south-east Asia etc., there are schools of Buddhism that do have gods.

  But Buddhism being in many ways a rejection of brahamical religion in north india/nepal, also rejected the idea of gods when it first started to develop. I think that’s pretty uncontroversial no?

  Not non-religious, but Buddhists don’t believe in god 🤷‍♂️ it’s something
