And it's quite ugly trying to tie Buddha's supposed teachings back to Genesis 3, in a "we got their first" kinda way.
Imagine a Buddhist taking to a stage and teaching about Christianity and only using Jehovah's Witnesses or LDS as the example, presenting it as "the faith" with their beliefs in bullet points as if that's all Christians believe? Sad to say, they do, I have been in monasteries where the youngsters are warned away from Christianity by precisely such tactics. Neither Jesus not Buddha would approve - lies are lies!
