open to creation stories, because christianity is flawed because it tries to explain our coming to existance.

They blow up Muslims and Muslims blow them up in India, just how peacful is that? Keep up the Good Works!

God's Wrath Against Mankind
Revelation 1:18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.
21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles.

24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion.

28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. 32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

Buddha is a title.

Buddhism is how to achieve that state (title).

Unfortunately, you know little of Buddhism or Christianity.

The monk who set himself on fire, was protesting the attack on Buddhists by both the North and the South. It has nothing to do with the Vietnam War. The ability to do what these monks did requires many year (not nothing) of training.

You last sentence applies to you, you should have discovered Buddhism or Christianity long ago. Maybe then you could ask (not preached) a better question.

Buddhism to me leans more toward philosophy than religion. There are a lot of wonderful aspects about buddhism that I have read and heard of but am not really qualified to address due to a lack of familarity. Go to your library for more research and even check out a temple. If language is not an issue than I'm sure they would be happy to share their knowledge.

Jehovah's Witness don't believe in hell.
They bleieve in living in peace forever in paradise as perfect humans.
We must however, let other people know of the good knews and let them gain salvation.
Withstanded persecution, more than any other religion.
Not only that, but worship the only true God Jehovah.
I think true Christians are more peaceful.

Buddhism use to be a very violent religion, you have not studied the history of religion. Jesus offers a peace the surpasses all understanding. Buddhism cannot offer that, and Buddhism cannot save you soul.

why do you say that buddhism is more peaceful from Christianity. Have you ever experienced the true peace that can come only from Christ? God's love is eternal- He loves us so much that He sent His only son to die for our sins, so that we could have that peace that passes all understanding. I had to do nothing to earn that peace and love- Jesus paid it all so that I could receive it free- Oh yeah, there is one thing I had to do- admit I was a sinner in need of a Savior.
