PokerPacker Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Bud Light tastes like ****. Does that count as having more taste? that's a good analogy of christian faith v. muslim faith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xameil Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I think if you look at both Christianity has more faith because it is based on faith itself. Islam is based more on works (law) on getting into heaven. yeah, but you have to have faith that heaven exists. Any religion has to be based on faith.

TD_washingtonredskins Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 yeah, but you have to have faith that heaven exists. Any religion has to be based on faith. True, but the question is which has MORE faith...to that extent, I agree with the post you quoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark911 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 While I support the thrust of your arguement, I cannot get onboard with the tone your post takes.

Xameil Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 True, but the question is which has MORE faith...to that extent, I agree with the post you quoted. It all depends on the individual I think. As has been argued more and more in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Punani2 Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 yeah, but you have to have faith that heaven exists. Any religion has to be based on faith. But what matters more is what you have to do to get into that heaven. Islam like all other religions is based on doing works to get there. Christianity is based on faith in Christ to get you there. Huge difference.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prophet Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 waaah waaah waah I don't care whether you take offense to it or not, a greater % of Muslims are devout than Christians. If you don't like it cry it about it some more. tell that to the 16 million people who are christians, and apart of the under ground church in china..... you show your hate against christians yet again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endzone_dave Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 I think one of the things that makes it difficult for Christians in the US is we have things so good it's easy to lose track of the big picture. We all have our basic needs: food, shelter, medicine and heath care... We become content. Plus there's so many things to occupy our time now. When I come home from work, I can go to the gym, watch the game on tv, throw in a DVD, play a round of golf on the PS2.... It's very easy to get distracted.

Winslowalrob Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Christianity is just a weaker religion I guess . Is that not the point of the thread? A circle jerk to tell us why Christians have more faith, and are therefore the better religion? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prophet Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 the original question is wrong. its the same as asking who has more faith... a non religious montana freedom fighter willing to bomb oklahoma city children or a radical muslim? for every once in a blue moon that a loony so called "christian" kills someone... i can show you 100 non religious related murders. a Christian can not kill, outside of military or protective service. So who has more faith... I would say believing that your God who lowered Himself to become man... died for man, rose again, and will come back to earth to rule .... I believe that takes more faith.

I don't know.. but pick up a local paper from every major city in america... and tell me if its christians doing the murdering.... Then name one people group that has ever lived... from and type of religion... christian, muslim, atheist ect... that has not had some type of killing. To lump it to, and blame religion is denying the facts that people in general are inhertly evil, and thus in need of a saviour (Jesus) Don't confuse corrupt men using the name of God... as a representive of God.

prophet Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Radical muslims blow people up to get to heaven... true christians allow themselves to be killed at the hand of those who they are trying to reach. who are the real martyrs www.dictionary.com martyr n 1: one who suffers for the sake of principle [syn: sufferer] 2: one who voluntarily suffers death as the penalty for refusing to renounce their religion v 1: kill as a martyr; "Saint Sebastian was martyred" 2: torture and torment like a martyr [syn: martyrize, martyrise] Source: WordNet ® 2.0, © 2003 Princeton University martyr one who bears witness of the truth, and suffers death in the cause of Christ (Acts 22:20; Rev. 2:13; 17:6). In this sense Stephen was the first martyr. The Greek word so rendered in all other cases is translated "witness." (1.) In a court of justice (Matt. 18:16; 26:65; Acts 6:13; 7:58; Heb. 10:28; 1 Tim. 5:19). (2.) As of one bearing testimony to the truth of what he has seen or known (Luke 24:48; Acts 1:8, 22; Rom. 1:9; 1 Thess. 2:5, 10; 1 John 1:2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
