What’s the big difference between Buddhism and Christianity? Well for one, there are no gods in Buddhism. Buddhism is an atheistic religion. But more than that, Buddhism teaches about respecting all lifeforms on our planet. Christianity is only about humans, humans, humans. This kind of distinction in their teachings is reflected prominently in the cultures of christian dominated countries. Think about how the average American feels about animals rights. Notice how all the redneck hunters out there have absolutely no respect for animal rights, but are deeply religious. That’s no coincidence.

Thanks a lot!
Thanks a lot!
Wonderful! Love …
Wonderful! Love your logic and unique presentation. I am vegan and a “non-theist” but have an interest in spiritualism. Extending kindness to all seems the correct course to enlightenment; and it’s so sad that Western Religions are contrary to the messages of peace. You can’t have peace while inflicting violence towards others… even non-humans. Thanks for this very informative video
Shine on!
Thanks a lot my …
Thanks a lot my friend
i’m also Sinhalese …
. and yeah i’m not that big into the religion but my parents are. it’s more like a philosophy, they don’t believe in heaven or . Just reincarnation, but i don’t believe in that. i just believe in being nice to others, thinking as if you were them.
i’m also Sinhalese Buddhist and i don’t know how you do it but in your videos, you always know the right thing to say. I really don’t know how you do it, sounding neutral as if you are the Buddha
It may be a small …
It may be a small matter, but as a Buddhist, I was say that Buddhism is more an agnostic religion than an atheist religion, because, though it doesn’t AFFIRM the existence of a supernatural deity, it doesn’t technically DENY one either. Buddhism sees the issue as irrelevant. A friend of mine, and a fellow Buddhist once said, “Whether a god exists or not, our suffering exists, and Buddhism is meant to confront that.” I liked that. But again, it’s a small issue.
Thanks a lot! I’ll …
Thanks a lot! I’ll see what I can do.
Thanks for this my …
Thanks for this my friend. As religions go, Buddhism is one of the best, and Christians act like it’s some sort of terrifying evil cult or something (ones I’ve talked to anyways) – lol. Here’s one I hope you’ll do a talk on: Jainism. The Jains are usually highly educated, very successful in India and elsewhere. Dignified and classy people, in my experience with some in the US. I like your take on things, so please do a vid on them, will you?
No, buddha is a man …
No, buddha is a man who taught himself something very important and thereby acheiving a special status. It is like earning a PHD without without the help of any teachers.
I have to agree …
I have to agree with you my friend. Anyone who approves of animals rights is ok as far as I’m concerned. I do not care for the ones who don’t believe in animal rights. Thanks.
I’m so happy to see …
I’m so happy to see another person like you who speaks for what is right.
You are so right in everything you say and one does not have to be religious to have respect for other forms of life. The root of the problem of animal abuse is the view one has of animals as just ‘products’ with no feelings while science has proved their nerve system is sharper than ours so they experience abuse as intense as we do and maybe even worse
Exactly. Well put!
Exactly. Well put!
The bible says ‘ …
The bible says ‘SUBDUE’ the earth and animals and ‘HARVEST’ them.
These words I’ve seen many times from christians who are against animalrights.
The Native Americans/Aboriginals/(Tibetan)buddhists learn to live WITH the earth in RESPECT to ALL LIVING beings in contrary of the others who are more ABOVE and AGAINST nature, forming it to their will. And we all know we can’t go on emptying and polluting the planet and abusing animals treating them worse than our material products.
Hello, I was …
o, I was speaking to miyukiyamamoto16 who said “in social studies today, we were learning the five major religions of the world & Buddhism has a God. Buddhists have one God called Buddha “
My friend I am …
My friend I am Mahayana Buddhist ( but also consider myself Taravata ) it in no way worships the Buddha as a God but some people/ Buddhist do. Some sects may and this has to do more with culture, but not Mahayana has a whole.
hindus respect …
hindus respect animals the cow is sacred
no my friend i …
no my friend i heard him clearly and he did state that sum belive in a god or gods but they dont belive he can bring peace
No my friend …
No my friend Buddhism has no Gods and no we do not believe the Buddha who we believe is just the Buddha ( the most resent person to attain Buddha hood and teach we believe) was just a man as he said he was. You may in a respectful way tell your social studies teacher they are mistaken.
Perhaps you misunderstood what they said.
chrisanity is one …
chrisanity is one the newest relgions maybe 2000 years old and the bible states that the world is no older than 6000 years old
some buddhists …
some buddhists belive in a god or gods but yes its a atheistic religon and i would say its probaly a recomended relgion over bullshit like chirstanity if i had to recomend one to sum 1 this relgion would be it
Christianity may …
Christianity may talk about god and the bible all the time but your making it out as is christians do not give a crap about animals. You are an atheist so you do not know everything about it. And sorry your vids are crap
i am alive, send me …
i am alive, send me more money!!
Buddhism is an …
Buddhism is an atheistic religion, meaning there is no god. Mahayana Buddhism does worship Buddha as god, but that’s an offshoot of the mainstream Buddhism. Sidartha himself (The Buddha) rejected being deified. People who truly understand Buddhism do not worship Buddha, they honor and respect his teachings. This is often mistaken for worship, but it’s not.
in social studies …
in social studies today, we were learning the five major religions of the world & Buddhism has a God. Buddhists have one God called Buddha
Very interesting website, but you must improve your template graphics.
When I came over to this post I can only see part of it, is this my web internet browser or the internet website? Should I reboot?
You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and extremely broad for me. I’m looking forward for your next post, I’ll try to get the hang of it!
