View submission: Why Buddhism?

For me it was quite simple. Christianity says "these are the rules because I say so and I'm god so you have to listen or I'll punish you forever". Buddhism says "hey man, I did a lot of thinking about it and some experimentation and these are my recommendations for how to live with as little suffering as possible. You can try them if you want, but if not that's cool too". The fruits of either path are self evident. One religion has spawned the worst wars and been used to excuse the most horrific acts in our entire history as a species. The other has not.
