What brought you to Buddhism?

other people actually. all my life ive been rather neutral on pretty much every topic that people spend their entire lives debating, and when they asked me my point of view, id simply say an opinion that didnt really conform to one side or the other (except for murder, rape etc, and im still working on those), so everyone kept saying "what are you a buddist?" - so eventually i started reading books and researching it, talking with others that followed the same train of thought, and here i am. what i like about it is that it doesnt conform to anything, and i think in order to think with a truly open mind thats essential, as soon as you take a side, the other automatically seems wrong, and i dont want to do that. plus, budda has a pot belly, and is still laughing, whereas other gods are chisled muscle and always mad.
