sci-nerd 933 #1 Posted October 23 (edited) Judaism, christianity and islam all share the same God, but they differ in age. Judaism is 3,000 years old Christianity is 2,000 years old Islam is 1,400 years old So the question is: Is newer better? Or is older better? Did God make mistakes that he had to correct, or are the never versions human alterations? As I understand this God, he's perfect, error-free and makes no mistakes, but according to christianity and islam he did. Or what? Please help this poor lost soul understand!

Well, you have to admit if the Muslims and Christians wiped each other out the Jews will go back to minding their own business. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Holy wars" are about the stupidest thing that humanity came up with. Any religion that looks forward to death or the end of the world is a death cult by nature. 2 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their god's the almighty dollar. Because I would love to have my hand in the churches wallet. Then again if the church actually donated money to help people, I'm sure we might a better treatments or cures for some serious illness's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a bit harsh. Christian countries have been separating state and faith for 100 years. Meaning that any war effort has been solely political since 1900 or so. Meanwhile the Muslim countries has gone opposite. Please correct me if I'm wrong! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't really see a separation of church and state. Hell, even a scumbag politician can get in office by playing the "I'm a christian card". 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't believe it but was forced into Christianity until around 14 years old and the understanding i was taught as to why our particular newer branch was most correct is because no one else fully properly understood God's message and meanings yet. I'd imagine that is a big part o f their beliefs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
