NO, not victim blaming. Where is the victim? And where is the blame?

But it does read like someone that has just gotten into Buddhism recently, has become lost in the 1000's of different sects and writings, and his 'takeaways' after a brief exploration seem very wrong. He is arguing against Buddhism for things that aren't Buddhist, more misunderstands of something he heard once, and sounded Christian.

Since in Buddhism there is no central authority, and every monk can write up some hot take on their views. It can be very difficult for newbies to wade through it.
