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?

Islamic belief is that Jesus Christ was a prophet, but not the Messiah. That itself is grounds for most Christians to stay away.

I think the dangerous thing about Islam is that people say it's quite similar to Christianity, but it's pretty different when we talk about the core doctrines.

Also, Islamic belief is that we all go to hell, pay for our sins, and get into heaven.

Christians believe that it is through Jesus Christ and only through his unending mercy he showers upon humanity.

Personally me, knowing I'm a pretty messed up person, I'd rather Christianity.

I notice a strange parallel between the two religions. After being around Iraqis, and speaking to the Muslim friends I've made since being here, I will admit that I have an extreme respect for their religion. I admire the devotion that cuh a large body of people can equally share, and still feel as though they're free.
