does a type of buddhism exist that doesn't include the metaphysical aspects of traditional buddhism?

Cappy, what are you hoping to find under the rock of Buddhism?
I'm not hoping to find anything. Someone recommended meditation to me, and said that Buddhists were non-theists. I looked into it and liked everything I saw about Buddhism, except for the supernatural rebirth stuff.
hey guys,.
so, something amazing happened recently.
i recently met with an old and very good friend of mine.
Wasn't it the Ethiopian Eunuch that said, "What prevents me from disassociating myself?" ;)
In your situation, I would do it in a heartbeat.
my wife called me at work saying she is scared after reading today's daily text.

You could preface the "apostate" stuff by just saying, "Look, this is just pure speculation, but don't you think it's possible that.....yadda yadda yadda?"

hey so i'm currently doing a uni project and making a film exploring my leaving of the witnesses.
i wanted to begin with an intro where i revisit the genesis account of god creating the heavens and the earth.
i remember it to be quite visually descriptive, so i wanted to take the account and illustrate it myself with narration over the top.

To answer FayeDunaway's question:
1984 edition:
In [the] beginning*+ God*+ created+ the heavens and the earth.+2 Now the earth proved to be formless and waste and there was darkness upon the surface of [the] watery deep;*+ and God’s active force* was moving to and fro+ over the surface of the waters.+3 And God proceeded to say:*+ “Let light come to be.” Then there came to be light.
2013 edition:
In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.+2 Now the earth was formless and desolate,* and there was darkness upon the surface of the watery deep,*+ and God’s active force*+ was moving about over the surface of the waters.+3 And God said: “Let there be light.” Then there was light.
