Buddha
Created | Updated Apr 27, 2002
An oriental holy man with a cheerful disposition. The classical image of Buddha is what most middle-aged men
wish twenty-one year old girls found sexy. People who don't particularly want to have a conversation about religion often
claim Buddha as a religious inspiration. This is not to say that Buddhism is not a religion, it most certainly is. It is just
that most people don't really know all that much about it and so they will shut up as soon as you mention it, whereas, if
you proudly say 'I am a Christian', people begin to make all sorts of assumptions about you based on a bed of
half-remembered half-truths from childhood bible lessons.
