Praying to the buddhist?
You ever looked into what buddhism is about before?

On the contrary, Buddhism is one of the most peaceful and tolerant religions of the world. Actually, I think we need more of them in the world. Almost (almost) every Buddhist I have ever met was on my top twenty list of nicest people.
BTW, explain what the "buddhist" is, that's a new one. Buddhist pray to God, not an idol. Are you confusing this with Buddha statuary?

Buddhists (except Vajrayana and Pure Land Buddhists) don't pray to anyone.
Read the Dhammapada and tell me if Buddhism is evil.

Why would it be evil? As a way of life Buddhism is meant to make a person's life more meaningful and peaceful. It is meant for the practicing person to be kind to everyone and everything. So why would something that promotes so much peace be considered evil?

No Buddhist prays to the "Buddhist." Buddhists have varying practices of meditation, some of which involves a certain amount of trying to achieve the same state of mind as the Buddha, but most often simply finding our own path to enlightenment. If you find that evil, then I don't know how you're measuring evil.

While I am not intimate with Buddhism it seems absurd to call it evil .
All religions are most certainly not the same . However if Buddhism brings someone tranquility then it is an absolute positive .

Lord Buddha not in any respect requested to worship him. yet they worship as Christians and Hindus worship human as god. no longer merely Lord Buddha preached to worship something yet also Jesus Christ preached now to not worship any element. And preached to worship merely one and easily God in diverse places of the bible. yet all maximum all Christians rejected Jesus wordings on the finished and worshiping him. As their concept that Jesus kept all Christians from punishment for his or her sins with assistance from died contained in the go, the Christian have not least concerns about their sins. Thats why they damage different believers with assistance from their words and moves What criteria they ought to call Buddhism is evil because Buddhism is contained in the unique type compared to as Bible. If Christians favor, they call the incorrect doers of Buddhism as evils yet no longer the religion Buddhism. if so Christians will also fall below an identical classification - evil.

Polar opposite of evil, plus there is no central deity so really it's more a philosophy than a religion. Anyone can be Buddhist.

NO. NOT AT ALL.
haven't u heard about the meditation of loving kindness.In that meditation They say ALL LIVING BEINGS BECOME HAPPY,HEALTHY AND UNDERSTAND THE TRUTH.
Buddhism teaches people to love and care not only HUMANS but also ALL THE LIVING BEINGS.

I would advise you to ask "What is Buddhism?"
There's no praying to the buddhist or Buddha.
