Christians: Why aren't you Muslim?

Because I care about truth...not mythologies, not false teachings, but truth...

Every argument I've ever heard to justify belief in Christianity could just as easily justify belief in Islam.

So Christians: Why aren't you Muslims?

Different prophets spark different religions with different belief systems.

Mary was 12 when she married Joseph, and was way past his twenties. I think he was in his forties. God put a baby inside a teenage girl.

Christians, doesn't it terrify you that you're going to burn in Muslim hell for picking the wrong religion? If that doesn't terrify you, maybe you understand why these stupid threats don't terrify non-Christians.

Islam and Christianity at its core are basically the same thing. The only reason any of you picked one over the other is entirely based on who your parents were.



The religious know they have to brainwash their kids from birth to believe it or they never would.

For the people that keep that belief into adulthood it's almost entirely because of their inability to cope with the fact that life has no predefined meaning and we're all going to permanently die someday.

After being told you're immortal your whole life and that someone is in control of this chaos, it's almost like unplugging them from the matrix and they just can't cope.

I agree with some of the points you’re actually making, but Islam and Christianity isn’t like comparing Catholics and Protestants. Muslims feel the most significant difference in beliefs is that Christians worship Jesus as God. That means God became an embryo and implanted himself in a human’s womb. Then God lived like a human and died a human death, and when he was dying he asked if God had forsaken him at some point. Did he forsake himself? Did he lose faith in his self?

That sounds silly to Muslims

Not all Christians believe that...I don't...I believe Jesus is God's son, just as the scriptures claim...I do agree with you that it is a silly belief...so many things wrong with that belief...God cannot pray to Himself, God cannot have His faith in Himself tried by Satan, God cannot resurrect Himself...the list goes on...

Agree with you that most people follow the religion of their family.

Brain washing is a bit overblown. Religious people believe life on earth is a miracle beyond just random chance and there is superior being responsible for it. This is not an uncommon thought, but the books and rules associated with controlling humans is where all the BS comes in.

It is funny how religions use hope and fear to influence humans actions. We get the same type of treatment, and possibly worse whether you are REP or DEM. When did politics become a religion.

I have done this with God's Word...

“Prove to yourselves the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”​ Romans 12:2

I believe that God exists...I believe that He inspired the Bible...I believe that Jesus Christ is God's son and my Savior...as I have studied the Bible over the years, I have always tried to test those pillars and have asked myself if they were on truly solid ground...the evidence for each has grown substantially year after year, strengthening my faith and deepening my conviction that I do indeed have the truth....

Why do you believe any of that, instead of believing that Mohammad is the true prophet, and the Quran God's true word?

How do you prove something to yourself? A delusional person thinks they are right.

Where else are you going to get a virgin? Today, a virgin would be an ugly 3rd grader. Actually, Mary's age is never given in the Bible. Lots of speculation.
