Why Christians, and Western people / culture in general look for answer and solution externally? Where Eastern Culture and Buddhism PHILOSOPHY teaches us to seek happiness, and answers internally? It make more sense to me to seek answers within, than to blame on some kind of external being or things to feel alright.

There are many religions. Religion is a tool. It helps humans get closer to God. It's best to find the religion (or combination of religions) that works best for you - and respect all other religions. If the Christians want to have "external beings" as their way of dealing with things - that's fine. If you want to seek your happiness from within yourself - that's good too. Whatever works for YOU!!!
Namaste!
