I felt a bit sympathetic to Buddhism up to the point when I actually visited a Buddhist temple and listened to the speeches of monks.

The amount of brain rot disguised as wisdom has made me feel Christianity ain't that bad after all.

Sorry in advance to any Buddhist out there, but it struck me how the common perception of it differs from the actual thing.

Out of curiosity, which Buddhist tradition was this temple out of? I've had similar experience, but I get the feeling like Buddhist thought might be about as diverse as Christian.

Tibetan, it's a mix of Mahayana and Vajrayana

Yeah, the way you said it my first thought was "Tibetan".
