10. They got Buddhism wrong
Edited on Tue Nov-10-09 03:18 PM by Warpy
because there aren't any gods in most of it. Tibetan Buddhism has the gods and the god realm. The other sects tolerate household gods if the people seem to need them, but the practice of meditation is the core of the philosophy.

Buddha was an ordinary man who lived and died like we all do and who realized that all gods originated from the same place: the minds of men.
