Yet you believe God punishes them. You don't even know what Buddhism
is, freak. Buddhists don't believe in an all-powerful deity. Buddhism
is a philosophy of living, not a God-fearing religion.

The Buddha famously said he didn't know about gods. If a Buddhist
wants to be a theist, his religion doesn't stop him. That said, I
don't know that I've met one.

Neither have I. It's certainly not a philosophy in which a believer
would claim God punishes people.
