Just to clear up any notions you have of me, I was born in America, as were My parents, Gandparents, Great-Grandparents, and Great-Great-Grandparents(the furthest back I cold track my ancestors), I am not gay, but one of my friends is, and they are a perfectly nice person, The Buddah was not a god, but the founder of Buddhism, and Buddhists do not worship him (They actually don't worship any gods/devils) and Jesus's teaching parellels Buddhism's.

Luke 14:26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Matthew 10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.
35 For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law.
36 And a man's foes shall be they of his own household.
Where did that homer Buddha say anything like that? Where did Buddha promise to toss everyone who doesn't accept him as their lord and saviour into eternal hellfire?

Um, I hate to tell you, but most people actually don't buy human refuse. What on earth is going on in your head when you won't tithe money to further the cause of the Almighty God, but you're perfectly willing to fork over good cash for sacks of faeces?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
