I recently realized that Christianity is the most complete teaching

>Am I alone in this?

No. I think the religion I follow to is the most complete, and you think yours is. This is how religious people are.

>I don't know much about Islam and Judaism but they are also abrahamic religions like Christianity so it's basically the same shit.
No, not at all. Like not even remotely close. For starters, Christians have 10 commandments. Jews have 613. Six-hundred and thirteen. I will allow you to imagine the discrepancy yourself.

>Christianity merely goes deeper into detail about the Creator.
Unless you mean the creator as an anthropomorphic person (Jesus?), no, Christian cosmogony+theology is extremely bare compared to Jewish kabbalah. As far as I know Augustinian never detailed the anatomy of the body of god beyond the Trinity, or how the universe was specifically created beyond what's describe in cursory reading of Genesis.

>All religions teach the same things if understood correctly and believe the same things. Some are more incomplete than others, and apply better to today's society
This is a good point. All religions satisfy a desire for meaning, order, and transcendence from the mundane. You aren't the first person to favor this religious "perennial philosophy". Unfortunately, the school falls short after recognizing that all religions claim to be literally true - you can't have infinite divisibility and atomic theory or alchemy and chemistry, one of them has to be less correct than the other. All three of the Abrahamic religions wildly disagree about the order and validity of their prophets, for instance...

>It teaches the exact same thing as Buddhism

Nonsense, they are different in almost every way.

> All religions teach the same things
Like all science disciplines teaching same things?

If you think there is a subjective opinion realting to any of the big religions you are an utter retard and why these belief systems are an utter joke.

>believe in this book, but only this edited version which cuts out all the bad stuff. You are all doing what it says over and over what you are NOT MEANT TO DO.

Kill yourselves.

Deuteronomy 4:2
"You shall not add to the word which I am commanding you, nor take away from it, that you may keep the commandments of the LORD your God which I command you.

Deuteronomy 12:32
"Whatever I command you, you shall be careful to do; you shall not add to nor take away from it.

Proverbs 30:6
Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.

Revelation 22:7
"Behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one who keeps the words of prophecy in this book."

Revelation 22:9
But he said to me, "Do not do that. I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers the prophets, and with those who keep the words of this book. Worship God!"

Revelation 22:10
Then he told me, "Do not seal up the words of prophecy in this book, because the time is near.

At least ISIS believe what is written in the book.

yes, all religions teach the same thing. once you strip away all the pretty foil packaging, the simple lesson is that there is something beyond this life. that alone is enough to instill a sense of morality and the idea that our actions matter.

also jesus and buddha are basically bffs.

That is a view that neither Christians nor Buddhists would agree to.

Both Christianity and Buddhism arise out of the questions, "what the fuck is wrong with this fucking world? What do we do about it? Are we screwed? Why are we so fucked up?" If you said that, at base, most religions are answers to these questions, you'd be kind of right. Kind of. Buddhism and Christianity answer these questions in VERY different ways, and they are based on VERY different cosmologies.

The major similarities between all the religions are not morality, but mysticism. Just about every major religion has a mystical tradition, and a lot of these function in very similar ways, although the reasoning is often very different.

>>1448281
Definately.

When reading side by side, and self contemplation.

>>1450355
To add: the soteriologies of both doctrines is radically different.

A Christian finds salvation in letting Jesus save them (to oversimplify).
A Buddhist finds salvation in extinguishing incorrect perception of reality (to oversimplify).

While I agree Jesus and Buddha would probably get along well, their philosophies are radically different and based in two wildly diverse cultural conceptions of what the universe is metaphysically.

>That is a view that neither Christians nor Buddhists would agree to.

the jesus and buddha bff part? that was mostly a joke, one that roughly 10 million people would agree with, but i still do not think they are wholly dissimilar. i never meant that they teach the same morals.. the specifics of what they teach isn't as important here as the field they're in; the details cloud the bigger picture. what is important is as you say, the mysticism. they both offer spiritual guidance and humans seem to really like that, because without it life can feel as if it lacks a purpose.

but in detail, yeah, they are pretty different.

Some Buddhist also believes Buddha teaches the Way to Salvation but does not give salvation. They at the very least believe Buddha helps eradicate sin.

Many Christians also set aside "Faith alone" for a more devoted practice which also makes one work to their own Salvation with Christ revealing the Way, rather than salvation by associating with the "common christian"

They all have truths that are beyond basic perception
