Me, a Buddhist? No way!

Until now I have hapily agreed when asked if I was a Buddhist, for no other reason than avoiding long and pointless discussions trying to explain a belief system that's not grounded in anything society has defined. Yes, a few of my beliefs share similarities with Buddhism so the misperception isn't unwarranted. However, the label has become offensive now because I've realized that the Buddhism everyone is referring to has no grounding in the true nature of the faith. Instead it is defined by a bunch of yuppies who drive expensive cars, own excessive forms of shelter and believe they are Buddhist because they discuss 'spirituality' and their yoga/meditation classes over $10 cappucinos. So, by any original or modified definition of the faith, I AM NOT A BUDDHIST!
