not enough arms to sweep ants away from there eternal death?
not enough arms to block the sun out of your face?

Eight arms? I think your mixing up Shiva with Buddha.

It's the 'many arms of Vishnu', who is one of the Hindu deities. Buddha is the chubby one.

Buddha doesn't have 8 arms. That would be Shiva. Or Ganesh.

Buddha was a ret*d nihilist, just like Jesus and Mohammed.

Buddah is just a fat dead dude who figured that life is pain. True enough, but painfully obvious (!) and of little real use.

Nihilist? Bollocks. Buddha taught peace and spiritual "enlightenment". Is that nihilist?

Example of Buddhist Philosophy:

The Four Noble Truths: that suffering is an inherent part of existence; that the origin of suffering is ignorance and the main symptoms of that ignorance are attachment and craving; that attachment and craving can be ceased; and that following the Noble Eightfold Path will lead to the cessation of attachment and craving and therefore suffering.
The Noble Eightfold Path: right understanding, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right concentration.
The concept of dependent origination: that any phenomenon 'exists' only because of the ‘existence’ of other phenomena in a complex web of cause and effect covering time past, present and future. Because all things are thus conditioned and transient (anicca), they have no real independent identity (anatta).
Rejection of the infallibility of accepted scripture: Teachings should not be accepted unless they are borne out by our experience and are praised by the wise. See the Kalama Sutta for details.
Anicca (Sanskrit: anitya): That all things are impermanent.
Anatta (Sanskrit: anātman): That the perception of a constant "self" is an illusion.
Dukkha (Sanskrit: duḥkha): That all beings suffer from all situations due to unclear mind.

I'm not a Buddhist, but I'm sticking up for the philosophy.

So the only way to stop suffering is to suffer, nothing is ever going to last and is therefore unimportant, and you're not real anyway so f**k it all. Sounds pretty nihilist to me.

No if your suffering for example because you want a car, girl friend or a better job , etc. Then dropping those cravings will drop the suffering.

Buddhism focuses on spiritual purity and enlightenment. Suffering is a neccessary part of life, it cannot be stopped no matter how hard you try. But what can be done is attempt to minimise it as much as possible.

So, you take the materialist view towards things "money buys happiness, objects make you feel better". And you see it as suffering resisting those urges. Is a vast fortune going to help you in death? That's what Buddha was getting at. You can actually still live your life as you usually would under the Buddhist philosophy, but it asks you to take purity of spirit and restraint into account. Talk about misconceptions...
