Really you are right You can be any religion any practice Buddhism, it is a way of life.

There are no Deities, and everyone will eventually be a Buddha......just means enlightened being. Those statues are just symbols for the idea, and Siddhartha Guatauma was just a regular person who became enlightened about his true nature , as many other people have in many other religions.

Buddhism 101 in a nutshell LOL! :)

I love discussing religion, and hearing a lot of different ideas. Even ideas from people who don't believe in anything! Cool!
