You are so uninformed it is sad..........Siddhartha was a handsome prince actually.........not fat at all......not that it matters, but he is the enlightened teacher that wrote all of the Dharma we follow. Th chubby Buddha was a real person too.....a monk who also was enlightened. Chinese and Vietnamese people look to him for prosperity........he was very kind to women and children. They are not even the same person. There are many Buddhas........some female too. It just means someone who is enlightened. Anyone can attain that. I have Tara...a female Buddha in my shrine.
Why even talk about something you have never even bothered to learn about....just shows your incredible stupidity!
Please stop spewing meaningless drival about religion.............you only just solidify our opinion of you as a total idiot!
BTW.........I took religious studies in University......can guarantee I know more about your own religion than you. Also.....my family are mostly Christian.
