What does Christianity have to offer in comparison to the liberation promised by Eastern religions?
Eastern religions offer some silly self-absorbed idea of transcendence.
Christ offers a true life away from death and sin.

False liberation.
Neo-platonic Christianity pretty much offers similar things to Eastern Religions but with much greater depth and a deeper connection with God.

Christianity doesn't promise 'liberation' because it's not a religion of slaves. Christianity promises salvation instead. See the difference?

It offers a reliance on your perception of a higher power rather than seeking that strength and refuge from yourself.

Nietzsche was clueless.

Childish oversimplification of multiple religions at once doesn't make yours seem any better. You are no better than atheists talking about skydaddy and the flying spaghetti monster.

God doesn't have to "offer" you shit. What is this, a religions' free market where you buy the one that's got the most bang for your buck?

Nothing. Eastern religion involves examining the contents of your own consciousness whereas Christianity makes you a slave to an invisble monster Yahweh, who reads ypur thoughts and condemns you to punishment.

Not even some the most notable works of, for example, Chinese medical literature have been fully translated into English. The same applies to the Arabic and Indian traditions, not to mention all the lost works or innovations never even written down from early civilizations.
