The second sentence in your reply is superfluous and almost certainly isn't consistent with HN comment guidelines regarding personal attacks.

The topic is one of reincarnation status driven by good deeds, which is a key facet in both religions. I have extensive experience with Buddhism and can thus share insights on that front which many who have not immersed themselves in such cultures (beyond the superficial) may idealize without ever actually experiencing.

An amusing nuance is that this is also not unique to e.g. western cultures. In eastern cultures there is similarly often an idealization of Christianity as individuals lack exposure to what it turns into in practice.
