In fact Buddha spoke against Skepticism in very clear terms:


Chapter 46:
Avoiding the Ten Evils

"Free your mind of ignorance and be anxious to
learn the truth, especially in the one thing that is needful,
lest you fall a prey either , to scepticism or to errors.
Scepticism will make you indifferent and errors will lead
you astray, so that you shall not find the noble path that
leads to life eternal." Verse -13

The Gospel of Buddha

Buddha terms Skepticism/agnosticism/atheism as ignorance. never to find the noble path leading to life eternal .

Life "eternal" is in the hereafter, not in this world, which the atheists don't believe; so they cannot attain "eternal" life; the atheists also differ here with Buddha.

Buddha talked of the "hereafter" as being as transient as this world, and interconnected with it. Wrong again, it seems.

Buddha says, as per, Gospel of Buddha:

"Since then, O bhikkhus, there is no self, there cannot be any after life of a self. Therefore abandon all thought of self. But since there are deeds and since deeds continue, be careful with your deeds. " Verse-31: Chapter- 40: Page-117

Paarsurrey comments: Perhaps Buddha is not denying the life in hereafter here, as he links it to the denial of self while one is alive and when one dies only the soul or spirit lives denoting the deeds one has done in this world .

Those straws are getting hard to grasp, aren't they?
