Of course he'd get attached to Jodo Shinshu. They are basically the lolcows of Mahayana Buddhism, being, for example, one of the only sects of Mahayana (and the only kind of sects Phil will ever get, get it? *slaps the Buddha's knee*) that are okay with door-to-door proselytizing. They are closely related to the group that sucked in Tina Turner, and they sell a lot of little mantra scrolls on stands that you are supposed to place in an alcove you have created in your home specifically for that purpose. In other words, they are very good at fleecing rich people. They are theologically as close to fundamentalist Christianity as it gets in Buddhism, believing, unlike mainstream groups, that you are likely to be reborn again and again until you get your shit right; instead, Jodo Shinshu suggest that if you pray enough and probably donate enough money, you will go to a Pure Land in the West when you die. I wonder why Phil is interested in them, though, given that it's hard to install a magic scroll in a special alcove under a bridge. Maybe the branch in his area have started some sort of free-food distribution program, in which case, as long as you don't have to be proselytized at to get fed, more power to the people who actually dish out the vegetarian soup.

Edge points. It is entirely due to edge points and him being too damn stupid to realize that they are the opposite of his rhetoric.

Pure Land Buddhism also believes in going to the Pure Land (by reciting the Nianfo), but it's not an organized religion (that's trying to get money all the time) per se.

So incoherent and pointless..

Another common trait I've noticed with lolcows is the tendency to express in a page what could just be expressed in a sentence.
