This is not the opposite of what you posted but is certaintly different. Buddhists do not believe the law of Identity and some may argue Existance.
I only stated some assumptions because they appeared reasonable at a glance and we needed something to start with. As I said in my original post, anyone is free to argue against my original assumptions.

Thanks for pointing that out. I think that doesn't quite mean that I don't exist; I think it may be more metaphysical than that. If anyone is a Buddhist, I would love to hear you expound on that idea in this context.
