Buddhism is a very general term, and encompasses a diverse multitude of sects each with different sets of beliefs. Some are similar to Hinduism (like some in India), some to Christianity (like some of those in East Asia), and many aren't similar to any other major religion. Some require serious monasticism, and others are open to all to contribute. Some types of Buddhism rely on logical debate and intensive studies, while others concentrate on meditation. I guess what I'm trying to say is: I can't give a response unless you are more specific. Side: Too diverse a religion to give an answer
the magical parts are just rumours that have spread out of control and yes Buddhism isn't really a religion as it never seeks to convert but to simply help those who want to be helped. Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion Side: Too diverse a religion to give an answer
Buddhism is a misconception of the things Gautama Buddha taught, much like Christianity is a misconception of the things Christ taught. Though, if Christianity was replaced with Buddhism the world would be a much more peaceful place, there are still inconsistencies within Buddhism and this is why I say Buddhism is an unnecessary burden.

There are a lot of things in Buddhism that I agree with and a few things in Buddhism with which I disagree. There is more with which I agree, that with that I disagree. Buddhism is more of a philosophy than a religion, it doesn't teach Gods, it doesn't teach absolute knowledge, and it doesn't demand worship. Even Buddha tells us to be skeptical and to keep an open mind. He tells us to question even the things he teaches, which is a breathe of fresh air when compared to contemporary religions. Buddha's main goal was to find ways in which to minimize suffering. Although I think he was wrong when he taught that we should not become attached to other people. I think we should embrace the people around us. And that happiness is more powerful when it is shared. Side: Too diverse a religion to give an answer
