There is much more to it than that, but yeah... Or is there much less?
I can say from experience that this style of living results in a life with a lot less suffering. Things just dont matter.. I could be a christian, wouldnt matter. I could be a scientist, wouldnt matter. Parallel universes wouldnt matter, an afterlife wouldnt matter, they could prove that God exists as an invisible man in the sky, and it wouldnt matter... This stuff just works. Its not even a religion, its known as the religion of no religion.
You can try desperately to prove me wrong, or whatever... But in actuality, I don't even know if I mean what im saying. So maybe you can pull me up on minor logical flaws, or lingual technicalities...
But how can you win an argument against somebody who has nothing to argue?

And this is why its pointless..
I dont believe anything either.. BUT-- Where you guys are going wrong is not realising that youve been put in this reality for a reason and all the mental conditioning your so hell bent in neglecting are actually simply parts of this world that you have chosen to reject and preach prejudice towards.
I always feel like telling zen buddhists to get a grip.
They themselves want people to think a certain way aswell. Really, if you never became influenced by that shit, wouldnt you be more phased with the every day on goings in the world and take everything a lot more seriously?
And that would create a different perception of life for you. Unhindered by the zen mindframe.
It is a diversion, because its own views contradict its meaning. Nobody should pay it all that much attention beyond understanding its simple values.
