I am sorry to hear.

I suppose from someone who doesnt know what Buddhism is, it could be considered weird as it is not like most religions (although peronally I see Buddhism more as a way of life) Like anything new, it can be scary...

Like a roller coaster, the first you see one, its intimidating, its scary and unknown.....but after your first ride you want to get back on because your no longer afraid of the unknown.
