Why would a Buddhist be interested in reading mangled Christian scripture and Prayers? Don't Buddhist's have their own scripture?

I wonder why I have read so many fine testimonies by Christians who have had their "spiritual" lives deepened by reading Buddhist texts?

What is the point?

Do you really want to be so competitive and possessive regarding your Christian "values" or whatever you want to call them?
