I have seen documentaries and read books that claim Islam and Christianity or Catholicism in all forms were meant to be the same,
God is allah?
some Christians are calling God Allah!
Personally i don't care, but i find it interesting to read and know more.
What do you lot think>
Christians , Muslims and Jews all worship the same God .
They just have a different view about who the Prophets are .
Jesus (The same person)exists for Christians, Jews and Muslims .
Fairy stories for the weak minded.
Yep but the reality is that most so called Christians have evolved from their first religious book. The stupid muslims are still in the Neanderthal state of religious evoltion.Quote:

Of course, try and convince any of them that he was actually the Son of God and they get all arsey. Having said that, Joseph must have been a bit of a tosser when Mary said "Honest, it was an angel, luv".

And it all stems from worshiping the Sun.
Not bad. Indeed. Muslims believe that Jesus was a prophet, just not the last prophet (who was Mohammad). Islam (not necessarily particular muslims!) revere jesus as a prophet - they (muslims) just take great exception to the fact that christians think he was "the son of god". according to islam, prophets are men - men who were tasked with passing on the word of god - but just men.Quote:

Islam at its base is supposed to be a set of real day to day guidelines. Muslims believe that jesus (the prophet) was more of an "ideas" man, while mohammed (the prophet) was more of a "details" man.
Comparative religions is an interesting area - not that I (personally) believ any of that shit of course.
Personally, I believe religion is a crutch for those who cannot work out their own moral compass. It does not need an ethereal body to understand the basic, underlying concept of all religions: Don't be a fucktard.
nidhogg, great description. My background is Catholic, thanks to being the offspring of an Italian mother and Quebecois 'father'. When I was a kid, we would know if people are Catholic, Anglican, Protestant etc, because usually people would say it. There are loads of Catholic schools in Canada.
It was only when I was older that fanatics were starting their own churches, preaching 'Christianity', but saying that only their version was the right one. They would argue with anyone who didn't follow their beliefs exactly.
I haven't followed any religion since I was a kid, but even then, going to church was just an obligation and something you were supposed to do on Sundays, holidays and crap like that. The good thing was that growing up a long way away from my Italian grandparents, we were never pushed by my mother to go to church.
A plague on the Abrahamic extensions...
Fcuk 'em all.
Nothing short of unneeded troublesome on the world.
Interesting concept. I think it's also a crutch for those who are afraid of dying, as evinced by the crowds of fucking coffin dodgers who start going to church regularly as soon as they get their first set of piles.Quote:

Strange when you think about it- these days Iran is mainly Shiite, so the original monotheistic religion they concocted was washed, recycled, and sold back to them under a different guise.
Yeah, that Rupert Murdoch is a right bastard. :bunny3:Quote:

What is consciousness anyway? How can it be that I briefly am and can wonder how and why?
I believe that a lot of religions come from the same start. Legends do tend to travel well. Just think how many countries have dragons in their mythology... gossip travels.
I don't believe in any religion but I do believe Islam, Christianity and even Judaism had the same starting points
The Romans had their pagan myth. The Arabs wanted one, too.
Over a thousand years later the world is still losing blood and treasure over this nonsense, simply because people are afraid of their own mortality.
