Buddism and Christianity have a lot more in common than they have in opposition.

I agree. There are many, many, similarities which seem to be lost in semantic differences. The Buddhist concept of emptiness, is similar (IMO) to the western concept of God.
There is a color coded section in that paper which attempts to document some of the similarities.
Most religions have more in common than they have in opposition. Krishna, and Christ are actually the same word, meaning the annointed one. The story of Krisna is very similar to the story of Christ. IMHO, the message is more important than the messenger. The message of the brotherhood of mankind, and the evil of selfishness. The message that love is the ultimate answer. God is love, and the only devil man should worry about is the one within himself. I sometimes wonder, if the message is the same, maybe the messenger was the same too. Perhaps God, or the "son of God", or "the son of man", intervenes in the evolution of man at the most opportune times, in specific ways to different cultures in a way they can understand.
