Naturalized Buddhism, mostly Zen & modern Insight meditation, but I like to add Stoic practices as well

>Is it foolish to believe in a god?
Kind of, but I don't concern myself with that

>"The unquestioned authority of the vedas; the belief in a world-creator; the quest for purification through ritual bathings; the arrogant division into castes; the practice of mortification to atone for sin; - these five are the marks of the crass stupidity of witless men." - Dharmakirti

Nietzsche proclaimed the death of God, sure, but he then turned the human subject into the new God, the source of all values and transcendence. This is why Nietzsche's project is incomplete, for the problem of our age is that we have no other idols but ourselves (and perhaps our technological creations, which just allow us to enhance and project our sense of self) and this is why it is a degenerate age. Nietzsche did not realize that we also have to kill off the conception of the ego or subject itself. Only then will we be truly free, killing God was the easy part.
