Reply to comment by BrokenEye3 in TIL about Saint Josaphat (aka Būdhasaf), a legendary Christian saint whose life is based on Gautama Buddha, the founder of Buddhism. His life story tells of how Josaphat, a son of an Indian kind that persecuted the Christian Church in his kingdom, converted to Christianity. by kweenllama
Buddha never existed. Buddhists can't even agree on what century he supposedly existed. There's more evidence for the historicity of figures like King Arthur or Moses, and both of those men are regarded as mythological.

A myth based on a myth. Funny.

You can find that same stupidity online. Look no further than Generation Z.
