in a mood for argument
Aug. 28th, 2010 10:27 amI'll be posting what's going on at my exchange program eventually, I'm working on a post this weekend to be uploaded soonish, but I've been reading atheist/ex-Christian/ex-Mormon blogs all morning and something occurred to me.
I can't help but notice that while ex-Mormon and ex-Christian blogs are a dime a dozen, the only ex-Zen Buddhist blogs I can find are people who converted to some form of Protestant Christianity. I'm not entirely sure what this means, and I don't know if it can be regarded as a significant data point, considering how much of a minority Zen Buddhists are in this culture.
Of course, being a Zen Buddhist, I may well be biased in their favor. However, I'm intrigued enough to throw it open to discussion. Thoughts, anyone? (I trust that you guys, o teeny flist, will remain civil and respectful to one another at all times. Particularly, rl friends, if you ever want to eat my baking again.)
I may add more to this entry, but I'm actually quite hungry and haven't even had tea yet.
