Many Christans tell me that Buddhism is evil, but I don't understand how the most tolerant and peaceful religion in the world can be evil. If you look at the history of Buddhism, it's very hard to link it to any wars. Buddhism never damned anybody for having different beliefs.

There are good and bad people anywhere, whether it is within a religion, an office, the govt, a family. People do not always follow the beliefs of their faith. And some people cherry pick particular parts of the religion and ignore the rest. If someone says an entire religion is evil, they are probably ignorant about it, have had
