Buddhism is better than Christianity

1) In this first argument, my opponent mixed concepts and beliefs from Hinduism, Zen Buddhism and other schools of Buddhism in order to disprove an argument about Mahayana Buddhism. I would like to remind my opponent we are debating Mahayana Buddhism. There are a great number of Buddhist Schools that believe in gods and even worship Buddha, but these schools are separated from the main branches of Buddhism and only share a small number of concepts and scriptures. Saying all Buddhists believe in gods because there is a school of Buddhism that teaches gods exist is ignorant and it's like saying all Christians believe Jesus was not God because a sect teaches that. Also, my opponent mentioned Brahma, a Hindu god[1] in a debate about Buddhism. These are different religions with different concepts and mixing them is like mixing Islam and Christianity. Your second source is about dragons in Zen Buddhism. Mahayana Buddhists don't believe in dragons and have very different concepts.The closest thing to gods Mahayana Buddhism accepts are higher being. They do not have any supernatural powers, they are just reincarnated in a different form because their previous life was lived right. There is a big difference between higher beings and gods, higher being are not worshiped. Saying they are gods is like saying Christians saints are gods.Also, I would like to point out Christianity also teaches there are countless demons and angels in this world, making Christianity, by your logic, less reasonable.[2][3]Belief in gods is in general not reasonable, because their existence cannot be proven. Your arguments regarding Buddhist gods were wrong, so from this point of view Christianity remains less reasonable. Rebirth is not less reasonable than eternal life, heaven and hell or demons and angels. Every religion has some unreasonable mystical elements:-in Buddhism, we have higher being and rebirth-in Christianity, we have God, Satan, hundreds of angels and demons, heaven, hell, purgatory and eternal lifeThese are all unreasonable concepts, but Christianity has more of them.2) First of all, I think we can all agree our morality evolves and newer moral standards are better than old ones. When it comes to morality, newer is better, because morality in constantly evolving. Even is the Buddhist scriptures are 2000 years old, they were "ahead of their time" as they are compatible with current moral standards.How is hating gays incorrect, if the Bible clearly states gay people should be killed "If a man has sexual relations with a man as one does with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They are to be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads."[4]The Bible teaches being gay is immoral and despite numerous studies that show it isn't a choice, the church continues to condemn homosexuality and treat it like a sin." If you do not want something to happen, don't do it" - Buddhism teaches we should give up pleasure, including sex, so pregnancy is in a way the result of carving (the source of all suffering). Dalai Lama said abortion is acceptable if the child has problems or if it would be very hard for the parents to raise him.[5] The most common reason for abortion is raising the child and Buddhism can understand that.You don't have to be a Christian to be anti-abortion, but it's very hard to be a Christian and not be anti-abortion, because the church teaches abortion is wrong and the fact is most anti-abortion people are Christians[6]The Bible doesn't seem to treat slavery like that:[7] " However, you may purchase male or female slaves from among the foreigners who live among you. You may also purchase the children of such resident foreigners, including those who have been born in your land. You may treat them as your property, passing them on to your children as a permanent inheritance. You may treat your slaves like this, but the people of Israel, your relatives, must never be treated this way. "(Leviticus 25:44-46 NLT)" When a man strikes his male or female slave with a rod so hard that the slave dies under his hand, he shall be punished. If, however, the slave survives for a day or two, he is not to be punished, since the slave is his own property. "(Exodus 21:20-21 NAB) "Slaves, obey your earthly masters with deep respect and fear. Serve them sincerely as you would serve Christ. "(Ephesians 6:5 NLT)And talking about morality, how is sex slavery moral? " When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she will not be freed at the end of six years as the men are. If she does not please the man who bought her, he may allow her to be bought back again. But he is not allowed to sell her to foreigners, since he is the one who broke the contract with her. And if the slave girl's owner arranges for her to marry his son, he may no longer treat her as a slave girl, but he must treat her as his daughter. If he himself marries her and then takes another wife, he may not reduce her food or clothing or fail to sleep with her as his wife. If he fails in any of these three ways, she may leave as a free woman without making any payment. " (Exodus 21:7-11 NLT)Christians can try to defend the Bible, but ultimately it is a book that preaches old moral standards that are now considered immoral. The 10 Commandments are clearly inferior to the Eightfold Path. Looking at it objectively, the first 4 commandments are about worshiping God, so there's no morality there. There are only 6 commandments about morality and they are very abstract and simple (don't kill, don't steal...) The Eightfold Path is only about morality and it explains everything in more detail.[8]3)life = the condition that distinguishes organisms from dead organisms, Everything that happens after death is not part of life and is therefore irrelevant when debating the meaning of life. For a Christian life is short and continued with eternal existence, but the actual life is short and has only one meaning : obey God. For Buddhists, life is an infinite cycle, their life is eternal, just like their existence and for them the meaning of life is to find the true nature of the world and to understand what the world really is.4) I think it is pretty clear from point 2 that Christianity discriminates against gays and encourages slavery which is a form of discrimination. According to the Bible, only Christians can be saved. Christians have to obey God in order to earn salvation, but non-Christians don't stand a chance.John 3:18: "...whoever does not believe stands condemned already because he has not believed in the name of God's one and only Son."John 14:6: "Jesus answered: 'No one comes to the Father except through me'" 5) My opponent didn't counter my point. He agreed Christians have a duty to "convince others to join" which is exactly my point. Buddhism is not my religion, I simple consider it superior to Christianity. The problem is Christians don't simply inform us about their religion, they threaten us with eternal torture if we don't convert to Christianity( not a Christian = eternity in hell)[1]http://en.wikipedia.org...[2]http://en.wikipedia.org...[3]http://en.wikipedia.org...[4]http://biblehub.com...[5]http://en.wikipedia.org...[6]http://en.wikipedia.org...[7]http://www.evilbible.com...[8]http://www.buddhanet.net...;
