I've seen pictures of the real Buddha. Your link did not surprise me. :p
This is really interested. Buddhism is Christianany to Hinduism's Judaism or vice versa! And there is a lot of things we kind of agree on.
For one, I'm quite well aware that Jesus was born and raised Jewish. Doesn't bother me in the sightest. Also, I watched a Discovery Channel special on him where they created a clay face of him of what he really looked like.
He came out as darker skin and curly brown hair. Not fair skinned or shraight blond hair. I took one look at it and said, cool. Again, such things don't bother me. After all, it's not what he was born as or what he looked like that matters, it's what he taught. ^_^
Remember, there's a special place for those who have not been baptised or converted, no matter how nice they have been. This is actually one part of Christianaity that bothers me. While I think it's a great thing to be saved and all (ignore the converted part, I'm not talking about that), I think to everyone else who are either

Heh. Interesting. I'll take a moment to correct a couple of things. Traditionally, Christ is considered Diety, not just a prophet. There are a few limited sects that don't think Christ is God, but for the most part, one of the fundamental beliefs common to Christianity is that Christ was God

Well, ehh, did you read the Bjorn story I wrote? It pointed out that Jesus though considered as God, didn't see himself as such. Use the Christian converter on the story and you see it quite clearly.
I would disagree with Christ not agreeing with the Old Testament. He fully understood it, the whole "eye for an eye" bit, but rather He replaced it with a higher, harder law to live.Ehhh, if he agreed with it, why replace it? And why say "turn the other cheek" if he agreed with "eye for an eye". (If you're gonna tell me that these statements don't contradict with each other, then I can already know tell you that I've had a cyclic arguement about this before, and that there just is no logical answer to how vengence and forgiveness is the same thing
