I don't think our egos are something 'separate' to us that can be abandoned.  The ego is a product of our consciousness, so whilst we're conscious, we have an ego.  I was just meaning to say that Buddhism (as I understand it) suggests we need to lose the ego vs Christianity focusing more on the ego being our soul and it being important 'what' the ego believes.

I too see the ego as a fiction that our minds create (as real as it seems to be 'us').  Like I said, I don't think we can ever lose them, but we could be accepting of our egos and understand they are just a product of consciousness and cannot be relied upon.
