It is thought that Buddha was an Kemetic (Egyptian) priest. When Cambyses invaded Kemet he had ordered all the priest killed and temples closed and this is when you see the birth of Buddism in India a few yrs after. Its not a coincidence that you see the rise of the Shoalin disciplines in India after the fall of Kemet. In the British History Museam they have a slab from ancient Kemet showing them practicing martial arts.

Im curious to know where you heard this, there is a wealth of scholarly evidence pointing towards the Buddha being born in a Northerly Indian Kingdom about 550BCE which now lays in modern day Nepal.

Religion = way of life or ritual. Even an atheist can be religious. So for many, Kung Fu is indeed a religion.

@7Matahari7 If you'd look up the defitions of "religion" and of "gung fu" you will realize why this statement is wrong.

[OakIslandBandit]

@7Matahari7 In the beginning,it's a ritual.At high levels,"Kung Fu" is much more than just a "way of life or ritual" (Religion).It becomes you,it's as natural as breathing the air.

@firuinthehouse What a stoopid nit picking ass you are. I type too fast and don't proof read idiot. (Yes, I know i spelled stupid wrong) Are you aware that there are more than two ethnicities on this planet? I am one of the other ones. It is not "shortened" it's called a contraction, dumass. Too bad your Da Da abandoned you, or should have. No one taught you any common respect. All you do is talk shit. You are wrong that i am negro, how would i provide details that prooves it? Huh?

[firuinthehouse]

@moo3992 My negro friend, when you say things like "Your wrong" it just shows you missed the whole point about English.

See, it's You are wrong. Shortened to You're wrong. Sounds like "your wrong" but it isn't.

Now for me this stuff isn't that important, English is my second language, so I could do a nigger job of it and still feel ok. For you however, it's your first, so you might put more thought into how you use it, and if you tell me that I'm wrong, follow through with some actual details.

[moo3992]

@firuinthehouse Your probably wrong, actually you are wrong. Keep putting your ignorance on display...we all enjoy it immensely! Opinions arent always true, just alot of shit slinging from a safe distance, so you don't get hurt. Take care guy! Please don't have children, we need to move forward not back.

[firuinthehouse]

@moo3992 Really ? That's fascinating.

I'm thinking that you could be right, and Hercules up there is indeed more educated, although he can't spell at all.

More likely however, you too are a nigger believing much the same shit as he does, or at least feeling the need to defend your nigger brothers from whitey insults, even when they are true, and said nigger brothers are clearly not the brightest bulbs in the IQ department :)

Anyway just believe I'm an evil whitey, it's simpler like that ;)

[moo3992]

@firuinthehouse He sounds about 10,000 times more educated than you...from the looks of it.

@7Matahari7 Way of life NOT religion.There is a huge difference between them two
