329. Permutations of original prototypes do not preclude nobility.
The blast on Buddhism includes a few fragmented truths but gives no overall picture.

Moreover it does not justify th claim that Buddhism is "warped" especially when Christianity is more historically warpable and by far more bloody and relentlessly judgmental and violent.

And that would be "by far" and not " by a nose."

The burning of women as witches, in particular, I think stands out. On a warpability scale, I'd rank that one fairly high. The women who were accused and finally tortured and burned to death might be able to tell us how high on thye warpability scale they'd put it. I bet they don't mention any Buddhists, though.

Overwhelmingly, it is a meditative and serene tradition. Christianity is not.
