Which religion....

[??????????]

Actions speak louder then words. Option 2 proudly for me!

[opebo]

Obviously neither.  Why didn't you provide a 'neither' option, religious?

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

Well, if both Christianity and Islam are worshipping the same God, as some sects of Christianity teach, then why would there be any difference between the two?

Confusing times, eh?

The same reason there's a difference between Judaism and Christianity.

Anyway, Islam certainly isn't. Christianity is but many idiots don't get that, almost all of them conservative.

A true peaceful religion: Wicca

What "same reason"?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

They reject the divinity of Jesus.

[afleitch]

Neither, one and not the other, or both.

It depends on which individuals who claim to represent each religion you speak to. But I chose Christianity simply because it is my own faith.

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

They reject the divinity of Jesus.

Well, if they reject Jesus' divinity, obviously they don't worship the same God.

1John 2:23 No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

John 3:36 Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God's wrath remains on him.

Boy, this Apostle John character was sure a hateful person, wasn't he?

[I spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

So Jews don't worship the same God?

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

So Jews don't worship the same God?

Luke 10:16 "He who rejects me rejects him who sent me" (words of Jesus Christ)

Boy, Jesus sure was a hateful biggot, wasn't he?

[CheeseWhiz]

^^^^^

Obviously those who kill in the name of either religion aren't representing it well, there just happens to be a lot more Muslims doing that at present.

[phk]

Well the first modern-suicide bomber against Israel, was a 17 year old, Christian-female.

I wonder if she was hot.

What religion are the decesdents of Ishmael?

What religion are the decesdents of Ishmael?

Sunni, Shia. 

[Swing low, sweet chariot. Comin' for to carry me home.]

What religion are the decesdents of Ishmael?

Your question is irrelevant because:

John 1:12-13 To those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.

Rom 9:8 It is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.

Thats neat and all but the Muslims worship a false prophet and deny Jesus Christ, so therefore they are lost.

[John Dibble]

Neither. Christianity is peaceful for the most part at this moment in time, but go back a few centuries and it would certainly share a few of the issues Islam has today. Unfortunately, due to some holy wars that these two religions waged against eachother back in the day Islam insulated itself from the world causing stagnation and an end to the advances they had made with the end result of the Middle East being in the state it's in today. Fortunately for the Christians though, those same holy wars resulted in their insulated societies being exposed to new horizons resulting in advance for them.

I am confused by your use of a contrarian conjunction.

She was Lebanese, so probably. I think she was 19 though.

Christianity. Muslims are the most violent people on Earth, look whats happening today, there must be angry street protests going on in a dozen or more countries because some people are incapable of understanding freedom of the press. Christians don't have a perfect history, but we have evolved beyond this mass hysteria, hence we are more peaceful.

And Dazzleman says I'm anti-Christian

This is a book on the subject I saw at work:

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly
It is a commonplace to think of Christianity and rationalism as opposite historical and philosophical forces. In this stimulating and provocative study, Stark (The Rise of Christianity) demonstrates that elements within Christianity actually gave rise not only to visions of reason and progress but also to the evolution of capitalism. Stark contends that Christianity is a forward-looking religion, evincing faith in progress and in its followers' abilities to understand God over time. Such a future-based rational theology has encouraged the development of technical and organizational advances, such as the monastic estates and universities of the Middle Ages. Stark contends that these developments transformed medieval political philosophy so that democracy developed and thrived in those states, such as northern Italy, that lacked despots and encouraged moral equality. Stark concludes by maintaining that Christianity continues to spread in places like Africa, China and Latin America because of its faith in progress, its rational theology and its emphasis on moral equality. While some historians are likely to question Stark's conclusions, his deftly researched study will force them to imagine a new explanation for the rise of capitalism in Western society. (Dec.)

From Booklist
*Starred Review* At first glance, this book appears to be a retort to geographic theories of societal evolution, of the sort advanced by Jared Diamond's popular Guns, Germs, and Steel. Rather than patterns of weather and agriculture, Stark argues, Europe's primacy in economic, political, and social progress was due to its embrace of Christianity, which opened a space for reason and hence science-driven technology. Emphasizing the connection between medieval scholasticism, with its notion of theological progress--the logical science of thinking one's way closer to God--and Renaissance capitalism, Stark maintains that Christianity alone embraced reason and logic, and this gave Christian regions a tactical advantage in developing commerce. An argument made with unavoidably broad strokes, its actual targets are Max Weber's notion of the Protestant work ethic and the conventional story that religion was a barrier to be overcome en route to progress. At times approaching the invective, its defiant tone will invigorate readers who feel religion's place in the trajectory of world history is under attack. But the theological side of Stark's argument--that Christianity is fraternally bound to reason--will challenge the very same readers to reexamine their own relationship with reason.

Christianity is the best religion ever of course, although this is only if you exclude the people like Robertson and jmfcst.

You mean only if you exclude people who don't exclude the unpopular portions of the bible?

Satanism.

Islamic Right = Christian Right.
