corn in the bible posted:"protestant" is a really broad term and there's no HEAD OF PROTESTANTISM like there is for catholicism so its hard to condemn it as a whole. it's pretty easy to say the popes hosed up tho I think you'll find the head of protestantism is Her Majesty Queen Eli-hahaha

Basically Zen Buddhism was afraid of becoming irrelevant with the Meiji restoration in Japan and became a full-scale state militarist religion.

But maybe there's a quote I missed.

ive met many christians, muslims, and jews with really loving atrocious opinions informed by their religion. I have not met any buddhists that are terrible in the same way. Smug, elitist, insufferable, yeah, but i've never seen one claim gays should be killed or that israel is the promised land so the palestinians can just go die

In Japan under the clique however: quote:[If ordered to] march: tramp, tramp, or shoot: bang, bang. This is the manifestation of the highest Wisdom [of Enlightenment]. The unity of Zen and war of which I speak extends to the farthest reaches of the holy war [now under way].

Also, the only relevant Buddhim for the West is the Ironically Diamond Covered Vehicle (Hipstayrana) in which nerds and alternative medicine scum enter to hopefully crush into a German stahlspikentree.
