Christianity was used on our people to control us. Who would want to believe in a jealous god that needs people to worship him. And your wrong about buddhist because they don't hate, they understand.

Most Christians would call me a heretic or heathen. I do not care because I know what I believe. It’s unfortunate that there are so many people who want to put strict definitions to spiritual labels. A Christian is one who believes in Christ as the son of God and understands the great sacrifice he gave. What people don’t understand is that it was a metaphorical sacrifice. He died on the cross but that didn’t give people instant access to heaven (if such a ‘place’ exists). He died on the cross to let the world know that there’s someone out there with the strongest and purest of love in his heart who gave away his physical self so that his words and teachings would live. I can appreciate that and I appreciate his words and wisdom. <br><br>One thing the bible doesn’t do is acknowledge man’s ability to introspect. Buddhism does this. Man has the ability (gifted by God, in my estimation) to solve his own problems: anger, depression, etc, etc…traditional Christians say “look to God” and they find their peace that way. I say look to yourself because God’s given you the ability to analyze your decisions and your temperament to become a just human being. Buddhists wouldn’t like me. Christians don’t like me. But like I said, I do not care because I feel I have a deep understanding of human spirituality. Saying there is truth in all goes against conventional christianity yes.
