What's more, Hussein Obama makes the same colossal error which you and others on this thread make, in being confused by just what Christianity is.

Christianity is a religion specifically based upon the life and teachings of Jesus Christ as attested in The New Testament, and Jesus Christ was a pacifist who taught Love, Understanding, Tolerance, Charity and advocated peace and forgiveness.

True Christians are those who put faith and trust in the New Testament and who believe in Jesus as ‘The Christ’ or Messiah, and who follow Christ’s teachings. Therefore true Christians who truly follow the teachings of Christ are also peace loving.

NOWHERE in the New Testament is there any incitement for followers to go out and maim, kill, or subjugate other races, creeds or non-believers and I defy anyone on here to provide evidence to the contrary.

Even the violence within the Old Testament is solely bound by historical context and specific only to the era in which the text was written, as distinct from the open-ended commands throughout the Quran which compel faithful Muslims to to go out and maim, kill, or subjugate other races, creeds or non-believers. These commands are not era specific, and have no predetermined time limit, so are as relevant and applicable for faithful Muslims today as they were to faithful Muslims in Muhammad's time. Which explains the demonic atrocities still being perpetrated in Allah's name after 1500 years.

The above is only one difference between Islam and Christianity, but there are other very real differences, far too numerous to expound upon here.

As for "better than" - whether we are specifically comparing the religions themselves, or their followers interpretation of The New Testament with the Quran, there really is no comparison, because the former is a religion based upon love, peace and tolerance, and the latter is one where 109 of its verses incite beheadings and dismemberment or other violence.

I feel this may be the reason why we do not see faithful Christians holding one freshly-severed innocent's head after another, or witness them coolly moving through school classrooms executing innocent children, setting terrified teachers ablaze, or chanting "Jesus" while they shoot yet more innocent victims in cold blood.

Thanks for posting this Kirk, I read many posts on here arguing that Islam is actually really peaceful and that its misunderstood or that Christianity is or was equally bad and Islam will change and that the religions are similar.

Utter nonsense as you have so eloquently detailed they are fundamentally different, one is a moral code to live by and a blueprint for moving the human race forward to better times. A framework of rules to live by where peace,love and tolerance are cornerstones, beacons shing the way forward.

The other is a dark backward rigid religious cult which worships and sanctifies death,pain,torture and suffering. A set of rules which basically is mind control where obedience and compliance are mandatory and all individuality and creativity are frowned upon.

More a set of rules not to live by but rather to try and not break or ones life will be very short.

So different from Christianity it beggars belief people on here cannot see these glaring differences.

Look forward to the day Islam is seen for what it is and is consigned to the scrapheap of history.
