Stripped to its essence, Jesus and Buddha are still very different things. Jesus' overriding message is not be nice to people. It's do things through me to get to heaven. The righteous pagan has zero place in Jesus' message. Remember that.

You don't need eloquence when merely being articulate is sufficient. In using other people's words put into an old English dialect, you're obfuscating what could be easily said in simple language. It requires more mental effort to read a couplet in a rusty dialect than a sentence in a familiar one.

I know a lot of Christians. Their Christian ethics leave much to be desired. After all, a good Christian believes in the inferiority of women to men.
