    Christianity is “Life sucks and will always suck unless you submit to what we say and only what we say, otherwise you suffer forever”

    And Buddhism doesn’t say that? The only difference is that Christianity adds “in hell” at the end of that sentence, Buddhism adds “in the cycle of death and rebirth”.

      Buddhists have near hells. Basically the same idea except it isn’t eternity. There is debate about this but the number I have heard is 13 different hells.

        Of course. Because otherwise rich people living a life of leisure might think life isn’t so bad after all and they wouldn’t mind reincarnating to live it again.

          Meh I am neither and would take reincarnation if it was offered. Get to be a baby again, giant boob in your face whenever you are upset at anything. Doesn’t seem so bad to me.
