God loves us all. He sent his son, Jesus to die on the cross to pay for our sins. We must first accept Jesus as our savior and then repent our sins. God also wants people to preach his word. While your praying, giving to Charity or performing any righteous act, don't brag about it just do it. We all need Jesus because we are all sinners. We should pray to confess sins, thank Jesus, and pray for others in need for help. Christianity is the accurate religion.

I'd just like to say that whatever I could do wouldn't make you believe. You would have to choose it. For me, I only have to do one thing- love Jesus and the Cross, by which I am free

Two things:
1) Jesus's Great Command to us was "Love one another. That is the Christian ideal.
and
2) Please don't judge us based on what fundamentalists do.

Enlightenment Without God?
Accounts of the life of the Buddha relate that on one occasion he and his disciples were in a forest. He picked up a handful of leaves and said to his disciples: "What I have taught you is comparable to the leaves in my hand, what I have not taught you is comparable to the amount of leaves in the forest." The implication, of course, was that the Buddha had taught only a fraction of what he knew. However, there is one important omission-Gautama the Buddha had next to nothing to say about God; neither did he ever claim to be God. In fact, it is said that he told his disciples, "If there is a God, it is inconceivable that He would be concerned about my day-to-day affairs," and "there are no gods who can or will help man."
In this sense, Buddhism's role in mankind's search for the true God is minimal. The Encyclopedia of World Faiths observes that "early Buddhism appears to have taken no account of the question of God, and certainly did not teach or require belief in God." In its emphasis on each person's seeking salvation on his own, turning inward to his own mind or consciousness for enlightenment, Buddhism is really agnostic, if not atheistic. (See box, page 145.) In trying to throw off Hinduism's shackles of superstition and its bewildering array of mythical gods, Buddhism has swung to the other extreme. It ignored the fundamental concept of a Supreme Being, by whose will everything exists and operates.-Acts 17:24, 25.
Because of this self-centered and independent way of thinking, the result is a veritable labyrinth of legends, traditions, complex doctrines, and interpretations generated by the many schools and sects over the centuries. What was meant to bring a simple solution to the complicated problems of life has resulted in a religious and philosophical system that is beyond the comprehension of most people. Instead, the average follower of Buddhism is simply preoccupied with worshiping idols and relics, gods and demons, spirits and ancestors, and performing many other rituals and practices that have little to do with what Gautama the Buddha taught. Clearly, seeking enlightenment without God does not work.
54 At about the same time that Gautama the Buddha was searching for the way to enlightenment, in another part of the continent of Asia there lived two philosophers whose ideas came to influence millions of people. They were Lao-tzu and Confucius, the two sages venerated by generations of Chinese and others. What did they teach, and how did they influence mankind's search for God? That is what we will consider in the next chapter.

Buddhist doctrines, such as anatta (no self), deny the existence of an unchanging or eternal soul. However, most Buddhists today, particularly those in the Far East, believe in the transmigration of an immortal soul. Their practice of ancestor worship and belief in torment in a hell after death clearly demonstrate this.This is the transliteration of the Pali spelling of his name.
