Solarman claims to be a buddhist. I cann't believe this is so. Judging by the hatred present in so many of his debates he just cannot be a buddhist, Not a practicing one anyway. He may call himself a buddhist but if he doesn't practice buddhism then he can't actually be one. Its like the people who call themselves christians who have never gone to church, even seen the bible or have ever thought about god. Solarman calls himself a buddhist as a joke, simply to mock buddhists.

What do you know about Buddhism?

Who have you read?

What are the main tenets of Buddhism?

How are you able to discern whether I subscribe to Tibetan Buddhist philosophy or not?

Why is the fact that I am pointing out the THREAT that militant Islam, Communism, the far left sympathizers, all of whom espouse the OPPOSITE of the teachings of the buddha, namely death , destruction, suppression, big government control, anti-freedom and suffering ?

Buddha taught , in short

* ending the path of suffering and the rebirth/ death cycle

* being empathatic and sympathetic to others

* discovering the deep self

* being unconditional love and truth

* eliminating anger from one's psyche

* putting others before oneself - ending selfish behavior , the source of all suffering

and so on and so forth

now, I am NOT a good buddhist by any means, but WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL ME WHAT I AM AND WHAT I BELIEVE

you likely dont know the first thing about Buddhism

I suggest you start with Robert Thurmans books 1st

like INNER REVOLUTION

If you do get kicked after losing 100 debates in a row, then Solarman is with us for another hundred - at least.

Solarman, unfortunately wins this one. It shouldn't have been set to one round.
