Buddhism originated out of a different cultural context and mindset of which is non-empiric whereas Christianity originated in an empiric style of thinking. The two are actualy very similar when one looks past their cultural mindsets and ways of thinking. Buddhists do not deny the existence of god it is just that the idea of god is inconcievable. whereas Christians have the concept. In Buddhism there are several realms of hell and heaven. Christians believe you have only one lifetime whereas Buddhists have many lifetimes. Christians are dualist in their thinking whereas Buddhists are non dualist. . I could go on and on but it gets very complicated so for simplicity sakes I will stop here, hope this helps.

Buddhism embodies acceptance of others, including those with different opinions. It both preaches and practices peace. Some Buddhist people believe in reincarnation but many do not.
Buddhism respects and reveres all living things.Buddhist philosophy is based on logic as well as caring for others.
Many christians here preach the opposite

Buddhist believe hell is on earth Christians have to die for it .
Buddha refused to perform miracles as they were just tricks ,christ's life or fable is embued with such .
Buddhism is a philosophy were he was said to have requested people not to make a religion of this and without a god till the buddhist followers made him a deity . whether Jesus was a self proclaimed god or not modern thought in his followers veiw is he did . Buddha was sympathetic toward the plight of animals and vegetarian values have followed . Christ said eat the pig and wash it down with wine according to legend or scripture not much history . Buddha left transcripts 550 years BC . Jesus left none .
Christians justify killing Buddists have even set themselves on fire in protest of killing and are totally non-violent refusing to hurt people . Buddha consciousness alleviates suffering as an answer to the human condition . Christians prescribe eternal suffering as a solution to the human condition.
peace and happiness ;the goal of Buddhism.

C=God,Jesus,faith and obedience 2d word of God...
genuine Christians believe n live by the teaching of the creator himslf....basically d new testament bec d old is past for pple who dont understand much. new r for the new generation to come dat understand much! Bible teaches living right,doing good, respect and love of others!Christ is d center of the world and He is d only one in all religion dat proclaim d only true God and d only way to heaven no othr religion hv sed dat. He is d only one who hv been foretold abt d many things n miracle He wud do and hv done it perfectly in works n in time.....dat in itslf is a miracle! Jesus is not human,He is a god! He is said to b a man bec only human in body form! He came from God so He is also a god!
B=Buddha only n self! looking for inner peace,self preservation and 8rules. Buddha is a man searching for a higher purpose in life only tru peaceful living and philosophy...Bt noting is sed to be worship or make a deity of.
conclusion:
C= has more validity,sciencetifically,historically and evidence around us......admittance of a God himself!
B=jus a simple person who search for a higher level of life with no validity of being part of a creator deserving of worship a direct way of diverting pple to another so called religion wc may bring ur soul to damnation!
ps.b carefull to wat u belive in...search, analyze and know d truth!

Christians: They believe in one God. (God, Jesus, and Holy Spirit) They believe that Mother Mary was not a virigin. And that they should not have any statues or pictures in their church. They let the pastor get married, but not other priests.
Buddhist: Monks can't get married and they have to shaved their head so that woman won't be attracted to them. They accept kindess of strangers. There are these 8 rules that people have to obey. When you die, you will be recarinated and have no memory of your other life.Which is kinda weird. O_O
