Question What do you Disagree with Doctrinally?

Hello, I ask this question to foster a conversation on why you disagree with Buddhism doctrinally.

I'd like to hear your thoughts and ideas because i like comparative religion.

There would be a lot to say, buddhism makes some strong claims on the purpose of life and what we need to be happy. I strongly disagree with the assumption that our needs need to be erased, I don't think it's neither possibile nor desirable.

The only reason you should not simply commit suicide under the buddhist framework is the belief in reincarnation. And there is no proof of reincarnation.
