Yeah... "I'd give my right eye" has a special, personal meaning to me as well.

It means I'd like to travel to the nearest discotecha and buy a white russian from a man in a pinstripe suit.

The special, personal meaning I have for "see the Buddha, Kill the Buddha" is: "It's time to feed a gorilla."

I think the best tongue in cheek backlash of The Great Buddha came from Anger Management:

How can a man over 600 pounds teach anybody about self-discipline?

At least there it was funny.

Inaccurate because the fat buddha, Hotei, is rarely actually revered outside of China. Shakyamuni Buddha (the original) was a very skinny dude.

I love ruining jokes.

My pastor said that budahists have been proven wrong because there religon violates the law on non-contradiction.

only Christians are right because Jesus is the most logical religion/

I know that, but I still like the fat buddha jokes.

You're too stupid for me to even bother pointing out how retarded your arguments are. The one thing I will stress here is the fact that the phrase "logical religion" is a complete oxymoron.

For some reason I thought Buddha was skinny in youth but fat overtime as a result of settling into the knowledge and ability to appreciate his surroundings in a state of full Nirvana where he could devoid physical desires and...be fat. As well as spread his word to his followers.
I love expanding points.

Nah, he ate only a piece of fruit while he lived with hermits, although he could have put on the pounds later in life, Buddha statues show him as tall and skinny:



Also girly.

That looks extremely similar to the Buddha Statue I have in my house.

I am only going to weigh in as a matter of opinion and Not trying to argue with anyone, but I do believe in Santa Claus, I do believe I have met him at least twice.
I know that may sound Crazy, but it is True.
Once was at a Mall in Tucson, AZ.
We went to the local Mall to say hi to Santa and turns out, he knew more about us than we did of ourselves.
When we went to call him from the Number he gave us, it came back wrong number, no one by the same name at that Number.
Later that same year, we were at some Seminar or another and we believe that Santa saved our bacon.
Same one showed up, advised us Not to do business with that presenter.
Turns out he was right on the money.
They were arrested the next day for Fraud.
I do have many more stories as this from many years gone by and continue to have many such encounters with the Man in the Red Suit.
I don't mean Actors either.
Also, I am a By Blood and Birthright Genetics, Psychic Medium of Shamanic Lineage.
According to Story from my Ancestors' People, People like me are considered Witches.
Yes, I have a long way to go to learn about this subject, but learn it I will.
There are many Books on this.
Yes, I do believe in Spirits, the Paranormal, the Afterlife.
I have had some 33 years' experience, since my earliest Encounter with a Spirit Being, at age 3.
It tried to go after my then Infant Sister.
I told it to leave and Never return.
It didn't ever return.
