Christianity has proven itself to be not just inadequate for addressing our modern spiritual crisis, but actively complicit in creating it. The very foundations of Western nihilism and atheism can be traced back to Christianity's toxic marriage with Platonism, which birthed the mechanistic worldview that now haunts us. Where Buddhism offers the profound wisdom of śūnyatā -the liberating emptiness that dissolves all artificial divisions- Christianity clings to a primitive dualism that tears reality apart at its seams, creating an unbridgeable chasm between God and creation, subject and object, sacred and profane. This fundamental split breeds the very self-centeredness that Christianity claims to cure, manifesting in centuries of Crusades, Inquisitions, and religious wars that Buddhism's history mercifully lacks. Christianity's obsession with will (both divine and human) has spawned the egotistical humanism that now devours the planet, while its linear eschatology traps believers in a neurotic relationship with time that modern consciousness can no longer accept. Even Christian "love" reveals itself as Nietzsche exposed: a disguised nihilism, a solidarity of the weak that transforms suffering into life-denial and pity into a practice of nothingness. Buddhism, by contrast, offers what Christianity desperately needs but cannot achieve on its own terms: a path beyond the self-centered prison of Western thought into the true freedom of absolute emptiness, where the very ground of selfhood dissolves into the organic oneness that heals our fractured world.
