Crazy Hades: Buddhism... Well a lot of buddhist teachers who have read the bible will tell you that Jesus was enlightened, particularly teachers of Zen Buddhism. I don't see the remarkable similarity in their teachings though. Buddhism says that life is full of suffering, so first of all learn not to suffer because of insignificant things. Look within yourself and you will reach enligtenment. If you reach enlightenment, you can die once and for all and leave the cycle of living in this life... aka Nirvana.

Christianity is just like... Well, here's the 10 commandments and the teachings of Jesus. Give it a bit of a go, if things don't work out, it's OK just say sorry and mean it. And believe that Jesus was the messiah, then you're set.
