Now that's a question I've asked both my Muslim and Christian friends, The Christians claim theirs is "the way, the truth and the light", Muslims claim the same thing, I believe the Hindus, Buddhists, Sikhs, Shintos etc believe the same thing,the question is this....Those that doesn't share the same religious beliefs with you, what is their fate?...are they damned Those were the questions I asked myself before I took my stand of being irreligious. Furthermore, If I had been born into a Buddhist home, I probably would have been a monk, It's not something we have a liberty to choose from the start, we're just born into it. 1 Like |

Op God bless you infact let me focus on Christianity the rate we abuse each other denominations is worrisome sometimes I wonder if it is not the same God and Jesus Christ we worship. I keep telling my friends that we were all born into this denominations with their doctrines and bibles compose to suit each denominational doctrines and passed to us, we only read or hear about the origin and were not there when it started why abusing and fighting eachother like our lives depended on it. I use to tell them that no church is the best that Christianity is in the heart and everybody should worship God in their own way and understanding God judge us by our individual characters not by the church we attend. I hate religious arguments because of this and I hate to castigate other denominations because inasmuch as you think all your doctrines are right somebody will come one day to prove you wrong. Catholics pray rosary and call upon Mary for divine interventions, other churches don't believe in it, Jehova witnesses believe that their is no heaven rather paradise which is earth that Christ will rule with the righteous ones after the judgment till eternity they also don't believe in Christmas and Easter celebrations that other churches do. Sabbath believes in old testament. Jehova witnesses calls God jehova, Sabbath calls God Yahwe, the chosen calls God, God of chosen. Confusion everywhere with different denominations calming to be the best and only true church. I believe God knows who worship him with righteousness and I also believe everybody should believe what they want to believe and leave others to believe on their own on the last day we will know who is right or wrong. Last note: I am not a church goer just a free thinker even due I was born and raise a Catholic I don't mind to attend any church I feel like if in case I want to attend church. 3 Likes |

malvisguy212:How did u arrive at the conclusion that the past Prophets could have been living in lies when I stated clearly that they all preached the same message and that Prophet Muhammad (SAW) only brought the message from God which is a confirmation of what came before. None of the Prophets ever ordered that you worship other than the Creator, they all preached the message of submission to the Creator. and Islam is derived from the root word of Submission and peace! 4 Likes |

Weah96:I do not think the deviation of Christianity has gotten so bad that it is now believed that Jesus(peace be upon him) is the Creator. If he was , then he probably prayed to himself abi? and prostrated to himself right? and cried to himself right? and was a Prophet to himself right?. He was only a noble messenger, respected in this world and the afterlife. An honored slave! 6 Likes |

Slitz: Christians believe that Jesus is God. The point of this thread is to figure out why you disagree, when you and a Christian will agree on almost everything else not related to religion. |

McSterling:Dear, why do people keep posting the above as if they have never heard of Christians who converted to Islam in adult or vise versa or better still children abroad who had no religious upbringing and yet claimed to find God in one religion or the other. True, in reality indoctrination is very capable of making one believe in something nonexistent but until the said thing can be proved to to be nonexistent you cannot site indoctrination as the reasons (out of many possible reasons) why one believes in the said thing. BTW Why is it that many atheist come here and create threads questioning others believes and not theirs. Faining ignorance whereas they know exactly what they are doing.It's easier asking questions than answering one. Many will never stand up to question their lack of believe but would rather question others believe and watch theirs perceived failings then use that to further justify their lack of believe. This one one of the reasons why I have resisted all temptation to post in such threads until know. |

Mr Poster do you see how this thread exposes the weak mindedness and inability of some humans to carry out functional logical thought. It is not only a function of being black or African. The world population I believe is full of a majority of the types of people commenting. They fear to reason beyond their perceived boundaries. There is nothing you can do to change or stimulate thought in them. It's not just religion it's also in politics. The sad fact of life is that many humans are sheep and have an inborn desire to be led. To have peace and make sense of the world sheep need to be told what to do. It's the only way they can find meaning. The majority of sheep will conveniently ignore the question and regurgitate their childhood indoctrinations. They are mentally incapable of thinking outside the box. This is the nature of some humans 10 Likes |

plaetton:You've not answered his question but anyway let me take you from there. Don't you think it is better to allow people to live with their mental constructs rather than exchange it for a society with a dead conscience and no fear of retribution from higher beings like God? In as much as I have consistently said that religion alone contributes more and has killed more people than it has ever saved it is still a necessary tool to control the conscience of men to an extent. Have you noticed the attitude of a child raised by ardent atheists ,how do they relate with kids that are raised by a religious people? I bet you that if you open your eyes to what a society we would end up with without religion ,you will begin to appreciate how religion has helped mankind to make sense of his existence and usefulness even as it continuously make us too dumb. |

True worship (religion) is of the heart.. Chritian or muslim. If your heart is not right before God and before man, even if you call fire down from heaven, you are deceiving yourself. So no matter your place of worship, the machinations of your heart is what determines who you are and what you are. 1 Like |

Weah96:I believe I have answered the question u asked about why I think Jesus Christ was not the Creator. We must understand something about Haqq(Truth) and that is that it is universal. The messengers where not sent to confuse us, they came with a plain message, not a mathematical theory that is devoid of logic( sorry if that sounds too harsh) I have no better words to describe it. But how can someone tell me that God has a son, who is also God and then died!!! Subhanallah! God died!!! and that he came to wash their sins away and YET they would account for all their deeds! how can I agree to an ideology that does not make any sense. A son that Abraham (The friend of God) never knew about, Adam never knew about, Job never knew about. An ideology with so much controversy that even some christian sects have affirmed CANNOT be true. An ideology that has no evidence in the earlier scriptures! when I have seen a clip of an ancient bible discovered by some people(not Muslims) in Jerusalem (not sure of the exact city) and contained NO claim by Jesus (pbuh) that he is God but rather addressed himself as the servant of God! How then can I possibly accept such? 9 Likes |

The reality is that in order to answer the question, of which religion is the right one, we've got to think for ourselves based on available information. We've got to think from the known to the unknown If per adventure I find myself inside a moving train or a bus, which kind of questions would I ask myself? Why am I here? Where is this train going to? Where am I coming from? Who placed me here? What is expected of me?... Everyone other thing would be insignificant until I find answers to these questions. Unfortunately, we've all taken these life defining questions for granted. If we spend our entire lives seeking the reasons, essence and source of our existence, it would be worthwhile. We end up depending on others for answers. Lets ask ourselves. Can we depend on another stranger's description when locating a new place. Then why depend on others for answers to these questions. It will be unacceptable if we agree with others' opinions on these hook, line and sinker without thinking through them thoroughly. Read the Quran, Bible, Torah e.t.c and ask yourself some important questions: Can Jesus be God? After death what next? Who is my Creator? Why did He create me? 2 Likes |

Slitz:muhammed was in the cave of hira when the truth descend on him, meaning a new chapter of truth has just began,a new religion. Why the truth did not descend on other prophet? Could this mean the main reason islam get their religion creed (I believe in allah and muhammed is his only messenger?) Can you differentiate the truth other prophet were living in and the truth that descend on muhammed? Their are a lot of evidence that show the quran was spiritually manipulated by satan. |
