Marsh,
I believe Buddhism and a ton of other religions were around long before Jesus Came to Earth.
Christianity started long before Christ. Before the world was formed. Try and get one up on that!
Hebrews 1:10 - And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth ; and the heavens are the works of thine hands:
John 17:24 - Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.
Ephesians 1:4 - According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:
1 Peter 1:20 - Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
Revelation 13:8 - And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.
Buddhism is just a man made religion. Christian is based on the True God, created before the Earth was formed. God new us and loved us and created the plan for redemption before He said, "Let there be Light!"
