Buddhism's fundamental claims contradict Christianity: impersonal reality, illusion, no enduring self, cessation as goal

Buddhism's core claims: (1) Ultimate reality is impersonal, not a personal God; (2) The world is uncreated and illusory; (3) All living beings have basically the same value — hence the starving child next to the cow problem; (4) Suffering is an illusion caused by desire — directly opposite to Christianity where suffering is real enough that Jesus came to suffer for us; (5) The goal is to eliminate desire through detachment (Buddhism) vs. Christianity's goal of intensifying good desires and reducing bad ones; (6) No enduring self — you do not continue into eternity; the goal is to break the cycle of rebirth and cease existing. Winger uses Avatar: The Last Airbender as a cultural illustration of Buddhist philosophy, noting the self-contradiction: if you must desire nothing, why work to achieve even detachment?
