Buddhism tells you not to have any desires, then you will be "free" from "suffering"--but if you have no desires, what good is living for, you may as well be dead. I tried it too a long time ago and it does indeed suck...

"but if you have no desires, what good is living for, you may as well be dead."
They've predicted and made an excuse for this part as well, they think there are higher planes of existence and desires and ego is what binds us to this "lower plane" here and causes us to be reborn every time we die.
Its easy to see it is an imbalanced religion, because Buddhism is spiritual reductionism in its pure form, the complete opposite of total materialism. It tells us that the self is an illusion and any physical things are impermanent and only something beyond physical existance (it is pretty nonsensical here, because Buddhists don't believe we have a permanent soul) is real. Just the opposite of close-minded atheists who believe that only materiality exists.
I've looked into both and I like Spiritual Satanism because it is a balanced religion, and has the good parts of both Buddhism and atheism (and Laveyanism), pleasure and spiritual powers and the Gods as our guides

yeah, buddhism bites. I thought I wanted to be one for a while, but
when I actually started reading about its philosophies, I said fuck
that! All that 'life is suffering' bullshit, and you must abandon
your desires...nope. Most definitely not for me! Though, Daitson's
probably right; if you apply some of their teachings to power
meditation, you might get results, but as a guide to life...no. Hail
Father Satan!
