If you only opened your heart to the wisdom of Dharma and the infinite compassion of Sangha, you could save your souls from the torments of samsara. May the Ten-fold Path have mercy on you and your children.

Buddha should never be used to condemn anyone. Buddhist believe that each should follow their own path until they are ready for enlightenment. They don't even actually say where we go when we have done reincarnatingor (not completely sure on this, i just started looking into it a few months ago). It is a completely agnostic religion in where people can choose to believe what ever they like to believe and to say that someone else is wrong would make one more then likely not buddhist, or just trying to start trouble in which case is not very buddhist either.
The original Buddha may be dead but there have been many others including women Buddha. A buddha is someone who has found enlightenment threw the Buddhist teachings (which i forget the nam of right now).

As a Christian, I do not mock the teachings of Buddhism. I never have. There are several high-ranking clergy members within my denomination who are actually considered to be Zen masters in addition to holding their posts within the church, and there are many Christians who study various forms of Buddhism without finding it incompatible with their faith. So who's mocking?
Robert Kennedy is a Jesuit priest who is also a well-known author and teacher of Zen Buddhism. He's just one among many Christians who have incorporated Buddhist teachings into Christian spirituality.

You jest, if you were truly Buddhist, you would not make such statements as to bring bad Karma upon yourself. As any true Buddhist can attest, the gaining of enlightenment is through compassion and forbearance, the giving up of attachments and creating virtue. You are forgiven your ignorance, now go sin no more....

If you were truely a buddhist you wouldn't have posted this question. Buddha is not a lord, but a prophet of life. Buddhist do not believe in a "God" but in the harmony of nature and life.

Two wrongs don't make it right
Really, do you think by being just as condemning as some Christians are make you justified in saying this. "Put your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for all who draw the sword will die by the sword." Go in peace, live in peace, and hose who draw swords...let them die in it, not you.

Yes, the Christians will have some explaining to do. They've hardened their hearts. Why do they hate Dharma so much?

Don't do this. Respect. Isn't that what you Buddha taught? Respect? For everyone to get along? Well if you won't listen to Jesus, listen to your own Buddha!

You do know that these folks are all dead, right? And, how can a path have mercy?
Jesus is alive and well and living at the right hand of the Father. He is King of kings and Lord of lords. One day, at the resurrection of the dead, you will see Buddha bowing down to His Majesty.
