Most essential element of Christianity: Love
Most essential element of Buddhism: Compassion
You should be ashamed of yourself, posting something that childish and meaningless.
Look up the phrase "Core Beliefs". Then look up the core beliefs of Christianity. I'm sure your fuzzy-wuzzy liberal Christian interpretation sounds very nice to you, but it's empty bunkum against the practicality of Christian teaching and purpose.
Ann Coulter said it best:
According to liberals, the message of Jesus . . . is something along the lines of "be nice to people".
You don't need a religion like Christianity, which is a rather large and complex endeavor, in order to flag that message. All you need is a moron driving around in a Volvo with a bumper sticker that says "be nice to people" . . .
In fact, Jesus' distinctive message was: People are sinful and need to be redeemed, and this is your lucky day because I'm here to redeem you even though you don't deserve it, and I have to get the crap kicked out of me to do it. That is the reason He is called "Christ the Redeemer" rather than "Christ the Moron Driving Around in a Volvo With a 'Be Nice to People' Bumper Sticker on It."
I suggest you delve a bit more into religious study before trying to discuss it, so you don't have any more of these embarrassing moments of confusing Christians with a bunch of hippies sitting around, sharing a bong.
