May the peace of our Lord & Saviour, Jesus Christ, find a way into your heart, RT.
Round 2...
Quote:at the same time being wholly unable to provide the slightest evidence that your, (the collective “your”), religion and it's various customs are in any way garnered greater authority.
You know what, kiddo, we could provide you with all the evidence in the world but you still wouldn't believe because for you to admit that we're right means admitting you've been wrong all along & that could have psychological effects on you.
Let me ask you, how do you know that your parents are really your parents? Have you ever undertaken a DNA test to ensure that you're their child or do you wholeheartedly accept it as truth on their authority (which is an act of faith)?
Quote:Each claim to be the only way to god, that the others are wrong
Hmmm... not quite! Catholicism on Islam...
<b>"The plan of salvation also includes those who acknowledge the Creator, in the first place amongst whom are the Muslims; these profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us they adore the one, merciful God, mankind's judge on the last day. The Church's bond with non-Christian religions is in the first place the common origin and end of the human race" (CCC 841-842).</b>
Quote:Christianity uses heaven and hell, the concept of sin, a corrupted nature no one can escape, the requirement of a savior to ameliorate the gap between gods and men.
Out of curiousity... what's your philosophy on good & evil? Do you believe in universal morals or is everyone a god unto themselves?
Quote:As time goes on, these wholly secular environments will grow larger and more potent, and religion will fade (and yes, there will be many false starts and huge errors).
I wouldn't bet on it if I were you!
I think that's all I'll comment on for the time being. Submit (or another Muslim) can handle the rest on Islam.
I've turned the other cheek for ya :punch:
