Buddhism contradicts its self, as it doesn't abide to what Buddha taught, it listens to its own scholarship.

Like Buddha didn't say there was no God, he just called it the Universal Mind to not have some form of deification; as it distracts from enlightenment, when making the Source into a thing, rather than everything.

Buddha also didn't say there was no soul/self, it is just the soul is a part of a universal symphony called Sant?na; where we attach to a single form, rather than us all being a part of the Universal Consciousness.
