Makes sense to be a half-Buddhist, because full-Buddhism is insane. "Life is suffering, the goal is to escape it forever". "Break off all attachments, even to your mother or children" (this happens in a sutra, where a monk son "helps" his nun mother by telling her to fuck off, with her realizing the "meaninglessness" of their bond and therefore attaining liberation). If you meet the Buddha on the road, kill him, right?

I prefer Jesus with his promise of eternal life.

'Chilling out, living in the moment and being good to each other'....good summation. Sounds like you're a practical Buddhist.
