Remember what Mad Otto from A Fish Called Wanda said: The central message of Buddhism is every man for himself. In an odd way, he was right. John Cleese, such a wise man, and a joke on a joke. The individual "path" you see. Look after number one.

Buddhism is good, i think

I've been messing around lately with yoga, basically because there's not that much for me to get into. I see what you mean . Personally I started for fitness purposes but after awhile the mental disciplines attracted and I started enjoying that aspect. I'll let you know later how it turns out.

No Buddhist practice is a cult....only solo dabbles pretend chanting is a lifestyle or transcendental meditation is not self brainwashing

Most religions contain an element of philosophy, that does not mean they are not also religions, just as most farmers have a garden, but that does not mean they are gardeners not farmers.

I think it is a way of living, it keeps evolving with us and time. I much appreciated it in the past, but I have forgotten so much now.

I don’t know much about Buddhism but I have started to read Tao Te Ching and it’s an excellent teaching document.

I practice Buddhism in meditation and philosophy.

I believe in karma and reincarnation. If you've ever had déjà vu, you've been here before.

After we die, I believe our energy transcends to another life in another form.

My limited Western knowledge has always felt this way. Buddhism always felt like it steered more away from theism than other practices. What I know for a fact is the concept of "karma" is nowhere near what it is sold as in pop culture.
Now this part is probably a biased stretch; but I have always (conveniently) interpreted "reincarnation" as an effect of genetic imprinting (where your "programming" is literally passed down from past generations). "Genetic memory" is controversial is some disciplines, but also established in others.
