-United Methodist
-African Methodist Episcopal -Missionary Baptist -Non-Denominational -Church of Christ -Church of God & Christ -Lutheran -Church of Zion -Etc. Christianity is pretty busy religion. Based on interpretation, it can be a strict lifestyle or a strict business. Compared to other religions, Christianity doesn't seem to be taken as seriously. Is it the society we live in, or the fallacies found within Biblical text? Debate. |

General question:
So how would you contrast Christianity and it's different sects to Islamic beliefs and the various interpretations of the Qu'aran? |

QUOTE(fameONE @ Oct 18 2008, 02:49 AM)  General question: So how would you contrast Christianity and it's different sects to Islamic beliefs and the various interpretations of the Qu'aran? I don't see that much difference between the varying sects of Christianity and the different Islamic sects. You have those who have "the good type" of faith (i.e., they try to live a virtuous life or use religion for good). You have those who don't really observe in any defined/approved way. Then, you have the crazy extremists who think everyone but their sect is bound to go to hell and deserves to die. I think at some level Christianity is taken too seriously. Despite what our government says about separation from church and state, the Christians and similar sects have such a hold on our government that things that legally are not suppose to be influenced by them are. I also think religion in general is taken too seriously. How many wars were waged and how many lives were slaughtered in the name of some God? |
