So, I was thinking of

So, I was thinking of becoming a Zen Buddhist.
I've been reading about it for about a day or so...
I've come to the conclusion that I can't do this because of the Five Precepts:

Do not kill
Do not steal
Do not lie
Do not be unchaste
Do not take drugs or drink intoxicants

Ok, I don't do the first two but the last three well....

Also, one of the Eightfold Path is the Right Speech:
Don't lie
Don't criticize others unjustly
Don't use harsh language
Don't gossip

If "harsh language" means cursing, well fuck that.
I can't live without my f-word!
