Anyway, I find many teachings in Christianity similar to Buddhism, there is not much of a conflict except for the goal...
To the narrow minded Christians, anything non-Christian by definition has to be satanic.

sound very similar with a pureland case. just that the old chap started late, so the master also an old time friend told him to stay in a hut to recite Buddha's name diligently and sincerely. about three years, he was able to know his time of rebirth and when he left, he was standing! the master know that he left standing, he also praise the old man achieved what many high master could not.
the moral of the story is also not to look down on anybody, as u never know one day they will surpass u in achivement. learn to get rid of this ego centricity

Guanyin Pusa is compassionate, never commit any killing and advise her followers not to kill is considered by christian as satanic and the one who kills, sends flood and disasters is god ????? Luckily, I have a mind of my own and didn't follow blindly.

Buddhists does not believe in an almighty god that created all the things in the universes and in fact deny there is one to begin with. that is the difference between buddhist and other religion that emphasise on god. in fact buddhist also deny there is a self or a soul, which goes against all other religion teachings. that was why Buddha first hesitated to teach the dhamma he realised, which is wonderful and sublime and not easily understood.

I also dunno how arrogant can he get from a belief system so simple and doesnt make sense. all they yearn for is eternal heavenly bliss and embracing god.
