Default Religion of satan .. Buddhism?

There are so many Christians here in Yahoo answers who feel that non Christan religions were created by Satan. How many of you Christians out there feel that a religion like Buddhism could have been created by Satan? I really do not understand this!

I am not talking about all Christians.
I'm not tr yin to say that Buddhism is a "divine" religion, I know it's a man made religion.

Christians are too ignorant about other religions.. Buddhism is far superior.

Well, Jesus stole the water walking technique from Buddha, so I guess it makes sense. Jesus is the Anti-Christ.

No
I am a Christian and I believe Buddhism was created by a person who spread the word and got other people to follow Buddhism.

In my experience, Christians (and I also generalize; this is not universally true) are the most narrow-minded, inflexible and intolerant bunch of passive-aggressive hypocritical bigots on the face of this earth.

No Religion is created by Satan.
Satan is the Representation of Evil or Evilness.
All Religions are man made.
So it was with Buddism, too.

A Buddha is a person who has developed all positive qualities and has eliminated all negative qualities. A Buddha has been an "ordinary" living being, like you and me before he became enlightened or awakened. Enlightenment is compared to waking up, as a person makes a complete transformation in body and especially mind. A Buddha is said to be all-knowing. One could say that a Buddha represents the very peak of evolution. A Buddha is not omnipotent or all-powerful; otherwise the Buddha would have ended all suffering in the universe....
He did not claim that he was a god, the child of a god or even the messenger from a god.
When we bow, we express our gratitude to the Buddha for what his teachings have given us. This is the nature of Buddhist worship.

***When someone worships a god, they praise him or her, making offerings and ask for favors, believing that the god will hear their praise, receive their offerings and answer their prayers. Real Buddhists do not indulge in this kind of worship.
