12. What kind of buddhist?

There are a lot of different schools of Buddhism, some of which ctually have a certain appeal to freepers--e.g., certain of the Zen schools are closely identified with the samurai tradition.

Not to mention Aum Shinrikyu, which tried to bring on the apocalypse by dumping nerve gas in the Tokyo subway, although no other Buddhist school thinks they were anything other than a gang of violent nutbags.

BTW, I'm a buddhist (vajrayana)--and I don't see how any committed Repuke would be able to lay claim to also being a practicing buddhist, eiher...

:hi:
