I cursed by saying something like "f Buddha" or "f Buddhism" and I threw my book from what I remember. My question is would Buddha forgive me for saying "f you" to him?

He "forgave" murderers and helped them become arahants (fully enlightened human beings). You have nothing to worry about.

I am just wondering if it is possible or logical for me to be able to love the Buddha and learn Buddhism after using profanity against Buddha and Buddhism. People have never been asked to love the Buddha. And the fact he's dead now makes it hard to do so anyway. You'll never see his face and he'll never even know you existed.

If this is repetition please forgive me. I just have a lot of anxiety. Is my seeking forgiveness guilt from when I used to be a Christian? My seeking forgiveness is guilt from when I used to be a Christian. You just answered your own question.

Welcome to Buddhism.
