Tick,
Sin is spiritual distance from God, but it also affects us physically. I think sin in the basic sense causes the suffering Buddhism aims to alleviate. The first sin with Adam and Eve has created suffering for all of us. The problem I see with Buddhism is that no matter how hard you try to rid suffering from your life or someone elses, outside factors can come into play to create more. Knowing Christ in the true sense gives you freedom from suffering whether you're experiencing it or not so you don't have to work your entire life to achieve the highest spiritual state you can.I totally agree with you about your views on fundamentalist Christians. But again, you're tying Christianity to a group of people that aren't representing the faith accurately.
