In this starting/pilot episode, we discuss why we call ourselves atheists, our "atheistic journey" and its relation to the killing of the Buddha. As we elaborate further in the episode, killing the Buddha, for us, is not a physical call to literally murder Buddha but a metaphor to kill the religious aspects of Buddhism which keeps the great amount of philosophical, psychological and phenomenological wisdom and insight locked within it. Therefore, we try to examine the metaphysical assumptions of the religion of Buddhism and see if they hold any water in the modern age. We also discuss many of the semantics and the rhetoric employed by apologists and potential apologists when faced with these arguments. This starting episode is the precursor of many of our future discussions where we consistently try to 'kill the Buddha' and we hope that this spurs on the 'death of Buddha' in the minds of many.
