@alphabet Pyrrho was literally there in Gandhara only 40 to 150 years after the Buddha's death, and brought back with him several clearly identifiable Buddhist concepts, notably the three marks of existence.

@GratefulDisciple - also -- scholars are considering the idea that Taoism is Buddhism, historically speaking. Also, Stoicism is an answer to Pyrrhonism, and Pyrrhonism is Buddhism.

@Robusto Right you are. Calling Regina, Saskatchewan "Vagina" on the grounds that Regina is the stinky armpit of Canada would be a slur though.
MetaEd
Feb 13 21:45
@Robusto True. People do repurpose words as slurs against women, homosexuals, brown people, and other outgroups, by making them synonyms for "bad", "evil", "less than", "gross", "stupid".

Because who wouldn't do anything to keep their children from unending hell fire.
MetaEd
Feb 13 21:08
@GratefulDisciple I think more importantly there are dangerous specific religious beliefs. For example the belief that doubt = unending hell fire. People who believe this do terrible things to protect their children from doubt. Terrible things to their children, and terrible things to other people who might put doubt in the minds of their children.

@GratefulDisciple Reminds me of that bon mot attributed to Steven Weinberg. "With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil—that takes religion."
