Buddhism or Christianity?

I'm 14 and I've been questioning life and life after death for quite a while now. I've been raised in a very christian environment and i think for that same reason is why I'm straying away from it. I've been reading up and researching a lot on Buddhism and i like what they believe and how they live life a lot more than how Christians want people to live. I've been thinking for a while now and haven't become serious about it until recently, but i cant just give up Christianity that easily. any thoughts would help

Neither

They are somewhat compatible....something to consider

George Lucas is a Buddhist Methodist

I am you.

Raised a Christian but couldn't buy into it, became a Buddhist as an adult because it made more sense than anything else to me.

Keep researching until you find the answers to your questions. Then go with what resonates with you.

Enjoy your journey!

Buddhists don't believe in 'life after death' they believe in reincarnation - where a single unchanged soul is reborn into the world as another person, through the cycle of Sa?s?ra. Their ultimate goal is to achieve nirvana, or 'enlightenment', a kind of heavenly inner peace.

Christians believe that life goes on, and that death is merely a passing from one realm to the next. We are judged on our actions by Christ after death, and our faith in him, and on how we live our lives. We then go to Heaven, Hades or Purgatory until the last judgment.

Good luck BTW, on whatever you choose.
I think the core ideas of Buddhism, like those of Christianity, are beautiful and worthy. Sadly, both have split - notice how many major religions split: catholic, protestant; great path, lesser path; Shina, Sunni, orthodox, reform - that is your first indication of power struggles and in fighting.

i have investigated Buddhism as well and these were my findings

Buddist be lives in duality of Good = Evil
Chirstian be lives that Good will ultimately conquers Evil
but if you Analise human nature, its bias towards good... the motives of every human are for goodness sake.. nobody freely does something for the sole purpose of being having evil done to them..so Good is greater than Evil.

Buddist be lives in subjective morality..experience of the person
Chirstian belives that in objective morality under God
In nature..a society that belives in subjective morality will end in utter chaos... a muderer who belives what he does is subjectivelly correct.. can never be judged by another subjective morallity... what makes 1 better than the other?

A buddist told me this story, a holy monk at his deathbed had his sister visit him.. the sister cried and so the monk wept and died with sadness in his heart for his sister...he reincarnated as a worm for sadness is negative energy..it just doest seem right to me.

Buddhism as a philosophy or as a religion are both garbage. Look Buddhism has some amazing teachings but they go way to extreme in this whole desire is pain conflict and how we must have complete detachment. My advice is Christianity but then again I would choose Islam over it even though they are both pretty similar
