Take truth from everything.

Compare salvation and enlightenment or liberation from desire.

Not even remotely a close race. Definitely Buddhism.

Buddhism.

I'm neither. But most of Buddhism makes sense. Christianity is just hope/or else. It doesn't provide anything of value until after you're dead.

Buddhism has deep philosophy and many enriching practices.

Buddhism is nice but it does not really have any concept of God or love.

Christ's love trumps all others.

"Neither." The better way of Life is being 'yourself 'and to stop trying to be someone or something that you are not. No sarcasm, no bashing, just the truth.

Don't take my word for it though. Try both of them then come back here and let us know what you've learned. Buddhism is the most peaceful, but it confuses the human spirit by imposing several "steps" in the process of Life, when there are no steps..... It wants you to believe that you are "going" to be peaceful "one day." That you are going to be "enlightened" one day.... It puts off peace & Love in the present moment, which is yours already, and it postpones it for sometime in the future! It is yours NOW, this day, not later....

Just like the "promised land." It doesn't exist on a piece of land in the middle east somewhere. It exists in your own heart NOW, this day. Accept it today. "Not later."

Christianism is right up there with the most murderous and hate filled religion on the market, right up there with Islam, only they do a better job of hiding that fact. That has been my own experience with them, so no personal offense to anyone here is intended.

Again, don't take my word for it, study them and find out for yourself. Just thought I'd save you some time!

Be you. Simple. ?

Buddhism actually provides tools for better living for the sake of this life instead of some afterlife, and even tells you to see for yourself if these tools work instead of demanding blind faith.

Buddhism, there really is no contest.

Christianity is.

Buddhism is only about seeking enlightenment.

Christianity is about seeking Eternal Salvation.

well no one can say which way is better. Its your personal preference. In Buddhism its never stated that it is superior to any religion. You have to find it yourself. Asking this question from strangers won't help you much.
