If there is a " Christian Heaven "
If there is a Heaven, then there is also a Hell. You still have shown me nothing that even comes close to what might be considered evidence for the authenticity of these Buddhist texts that you base your faith on. How unlike the Bible, which are largely first person, eyewitness accounts, and can be traced back to actual historical events. How does king Asoka help you out here According to your own Buddhist writings, Gautama died. Did you notice the period, His body was cremated and then they divided up his remains into eight piles to be distributed. Jesus certainly claimed to be Divine and rose from the dead to validate His claims. His tomb is empty because He still lives. All the myths you cite, of rising gods are just that, myths. They read like myths (no names, places, dates,) because they are. You want to mold Jesus into Guatama's little brother, but the truth is that the two taught opposite views on all the important things, such as God, Salvation, Sin, and Truth. Only the peripherals are similar.
