Started refuting lottery fallacy in r/GetMotivated and in two comments accidentally wrote Why I am a Buddhist. I'd love some feedback.

Post Body

A photo and quote of Richard Dawkins was posted in r/GetMotivated that was based on a reverse application of the idea of the existence lottery. In GetMotivated style, I commented, refuting Dawkins' intention, yet in GetMotivated style, reoriented what could have been said into a more applicable idea.

I got a response and proceeded to write a second part to round it out. As I wrapped it up, reading it over once more, I realized I could have ended it with "And this is why I'm a Buddhist."

I'd love to hear what you guys have to say about this, and would enjoy taking the discussion into the less-motivational, more-Buddhist realm :).
