Due to constant misunderstanding with my name I feel the need to change my intro. I am hateful, hateful of religion. I hate what religion does to people and that people use it as an excuse to not think. I have spent many years of my life as an Atheist and have learned to handle my emotions, but no other word quite describes how I feel towards religion short of hate. I am outspoken, open minded, and will share my opinion. If you're looking for someone who will always agree with you, that won't be me.

Question with 10 notes

littledarlinglilith asked: Of course it's about removing the need for materialistic things in your life, yes. It is still possible to practice Buddhism without doing that though. Perhaps someone doesn't want to reach enlightenment just yet. I love my cats and there is no way I'm ever going to give them up to become enlightened. I still agree with Buddhism fundamentals though. I haven't practiced meditation in years because I have a lack of motivation. But that doesn't mean I am not a true Buddhist.

It means you’re a half-assed Buddhist, sorry for the bluntness but that is how I see it. You claim to be a Buddhist, yet you are actively going against the fundamental teachings because of your own want. Part of Buddhism is giving up that want as well, so sure, you’re a Buddhist, about as much as you are a Wiccan also.
