Jesus vs. Buddha / Christianity vs. Buddhism?

I'm doing a compare and contrast essay. I'm writing it on the
similarities of Jesus and Buddha.
I need information on..

- Similarities and Differences between Buddhism and Christianity

- 525 B.C (when Buddha was born) VS. 4-8 B.C (when Jesus was
born)

- Nirvana and Reincarnation VS. Heaven and Hell

- How evil is thought of differently and the same in each religion

- The rules that each religion follows to reach Heaven or Nirvana (like the Ten Commandments and the Five Skandhas)


And whatever else that you know that you would like to put in your answer! Anything will help!

Thanks! :)

Both had simple messages of discarding the complex dogmas of their parent's religion and focusing on actually being a better person. Both had people coming after them that re-complexified what they said. Sadly, their similarities are lost on most modern Christians who view their own dogma as something that must be given their undying loyalty, as opposed to a reasoned set of rules that must make sense (and I only point to Christians because Buddhists don't tend to say things like "there is no similarity").
