Has anybody else noticed lately those Buddhist monks or leaders with orange/brownish clothes giving out flyers on the streets of New York? I don't know whether they are trying to convert, proselytize or what is going on? It is quite annoying, ridiculous, Anti-Semitic and Anti-Christian.

Buddhists don't believe in God, and it is very insulting.

Oooo, are the hare krishnas making a comeback? With all the new rules, they can't hang out in the airports any more. Now, I've got to look for my Radha Krsna Temple album.

If you are too young to know, go watch Mad Men for a history lesson or old episodes of Johnny Carson where he cracked jokes about them.

Please don't say who is Johnny Carson?

You should take one flyer and read it thoroughly to understand what they want from you. But to make up for them is not sounds ethical at all.

Try to be more tolerant to other religions and world-views and you won't be annoyed.

Who is God? If it's very insulting for you then you still don't know the right answer.

Krishna is not Buddhist's term at all.
But buddhists are honouring Krishna, Jesus Christ, Muhammad and Moses equally very reverent.
