Before you decide to ragepost in the comments about how terrible either of these guys are, please take a moment and look at how happy they are. Wouldn’t this be a nice outcome for a change?

    You sure about that? Might want to look up the story of Angulimala before you go bragging about how much of a badass you are.

    The guy supposedly killed 999 people, cut off a finger of each of them, and made himself a chain to hang around his neck before he tried to kill the Buddha. What happens next will shock you…

      Yeah lolololol sure the guy who lived a sedentary life of contemplation as a nepotistic state official beat the guy who murdered 10 kumite 100 man lineups in a row. Such a stupid fiction.

        Sounds like you’re just gonna have to keep murdering people until you meet a Buddha then.

        Your right, of course. All religious texts are fantasy fiction.

        They’re all silly. The Bible is no better. None of them are.

          Idk, I missed the part where Jesus used his carpentry kung-fu to destroy an enemy navy. They’re all shit and have varying levels of harm caused but if we’re voting on silly-ness then that Buddha story is a top ranked fable by a long shot.
