NEVER compare Jesus to Buddha. Buddha NEVER said "Believe in me or I'll throw you in fucking Hell!" Jesus had almost no philosophy, just rules. Buddha had little to do with the supernatural. He focused more on personal growth, rather than obedience. And I never prayed to him for favors, like a Christian does to God. I meditate, and find the answers on my own. THAT is growth as a person, not sitting around waiting for a supreme being to help me out.
If you want a comparison, read this thread (which I'm sure you'll say is BS, since you're quite predictable):

"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.”

"Anyone wanting to believe Jesus lived and walked as a real live human being must do so despite the evidence, not because of it."
