Your ignorance of Buddhism is showing. The fat Buddhas of Chinese restaurants is what your imagining? First, for an agrarian people, fat is a luxury. Nobody is fat unless they are wealthy. That is a symbol - it is only repulsive to you because you were born into times where people can be thin voluntarily and not risk starvation when the crop fails. Second, I doubt you will ever find me relating a single story of a single crazed cleric and saying that is representative of all.

Now I did relate a story a month or two back about a priest who crashed his car into an abortion clinic, swinging his ax and having to be repelled by a shotgun. This is nuts. But not unheard of. Despite that, I will not be asserting that Christianity is causing this. A certain type of Christian is capable of doing this though. But that isn't what we are discussing here.
