Question

please as much detaisl as possible no ten second answers

Answer 1

Well, Christians believe you must believe the exact same thing they do or you'll suffer forever in hell. Buddhists believe that, yes, there is a right way to live, but it is for your own enlightenment. Buddha never claimed to be a god, and never said if there even was a god or not.

Answer 2

Among the five great religions to which nearly nine-tenths of present-day humanity belong, Buddhism and Christianity have been the most frequent subjects of comparison. And rightly so. Because, together with Islam, and unlike Hinduism and Chinese universism, they are "world religions," that is to say, forms of belief that have found followers not merely in a single though vast country, but also in wide regions of the world.

Buddhism and Christianity, however, differ from Islam in so far as, unlike the latter, they do not stress the natural aspects of world and man, but they wish to lead beyond them. A comparison between Buddhism and Christianity, however, proves so fruitful mainly because they represent, in the purest form, two great distinctive types of religion which arose East and West of the Indus valley. For two millennia, these religious systems have given the clearest expression of the metaphysical ideas prevalent in the Far East and in the Occident, respectively.

The similarities between these two religions extend, if I see it rightly, essentially over three spheres:

(1) the life history of the founder;

(2) ethics; and

(3) church history

Answer 3

Christianity is based on the beleif that Christ dies for our sins and he must be accepted by the believer in order for the believer to "go to heaven" or be "saved". Buddhism is based on the teachings of the Buddha and it's really not a religion, but more of a philosophy/way of life. The ultimate objective in buddhism is to reach enlightenment, which is acheived through years of meditation, following the 'right' path, etc.
