I don't follow it myself, but it does make me see Danny DeVito in a more holy light.

Obviously . Y E S.
Buddhism is NOT based on beliefs. It's based on proper understanding.
If you understand something acceptable, you just accept it. Otherwise reject it even it is taught in the Buddhism. Be strict on that.
By proper understanding of Dhamma, I think I'm living a flavourabl life. I usually don't worship and go to the temple. But I'm living my life without as it it said in Buddhism (being honest, helpful and kind to the others).
DECISION IS YOURS!!!

A person's personality is hard to change whether you believe in Buddha or not. That's why Buddha teaches meditation. Meditation will help the mind to be more controlled and help you to let go of negativity so you'll be able to feel peace within.

I would call myself an atheist/buddhist, and I think that the philosophy has deffinately changed my life for the better. Its not something you can just believe will change you though (at least for me), I had to go to the Himalayas and see for myself how peaceful the people there were before I realised that it was something worth looking into further. That was the best summer of my life.

From having been an angry-all-the-time at people who I saw causing "harm" and my perceptions... looking hard for some answers and never finding any and getting more bitter as the years went on... YEP. I'm not perfect by any means as can be witnessed in here when I chew out a few people and haters, but I've improved IMMENSELY. Scary isn't it?

Yes, yes, & yes. But what is taught is the way to Buddhism. Buddhism{enlightenment} can not be taught, because it is inherent in everyone.

Yes.
For that,
You have to PRACTICE and UNDERSTAND good things in Buddhism.

if i believed that whatever buddhism is, i would be standing at a bus stop forever, (picture) because buddha's dead, he didnt rise from a grave like my Savior did, buddha didn't predict any wars that are going on now, my Jesus did. buddha didn't die on a cross infront of many so that i could live in heaven, CHRIST DID!
