I'm starting to understand why posting about religion or politics are against the rules on most forums!

Sigh, I don't think it's going to happen.
I'm Muslim but in all honesty, I don't really know much about my religion to argue back (I'm not religious, so I guess for me, it's like the argument in here before about if you are a Christian if you aren't religious) . So I'll get the popcorn and sit back
(at the risk at sounding like I don't care, but I do.). I won't deny I'm finding it sad to hear all this but at the end of the day, I'm whoever I am regardless of religion and I guess that part of me is willing to listen (if this makes sense...).

There's an interesting book on this theory. "The Christ Myth" by Arthur Drews, from about 100 years ago.
In the end it might turn out that the only religion founder who ever really existed was LaVey...
Oh, and Linus Torvalds of course!
And there actually is some (not much) confirmation about the existence of Jesus, contrary to Mohammed. But I do agree there's a lot of Messian "contamination" in the Gospels.

I will ask again, since my thread appears to be hijacked.
"Can't we all just get along"
If you are a Christian talk about your Christian beliefs instead of trying to "educate" others on Islam. If you are a Muslim talk about your Islamic beliefs. If your an Athiest feel free to talk about why you don't believe, but don't act like people who do are stupid.
Seriously can't we have a conversation about our differences without resorting to name calling.
So I am asking, please, can't we all just get along. I did not intend this post to cause a religious war.

i would say that the big diff between chirstianity and islam is that most of chirstianity had the extremism beaten out of it between 1000 and 1600 or there about.
on the other hand, islam is just hitting that age of strife (the religion got going around 900 iirc).
and while the "bending knees and wrapped women" style makes for a lot of press, there are as many of not more that deal with islam as most of europe deals with christianity. a starting point for a moral code, but not something that one follow by the letter.
question is, can the rest of the world hold out while islam gets its collective pubertal rebellious energy burned?

Karel, you're running away from a problem.
This is the country I am living in:
In 1600 A.D. witches were still burned. But, most of Europe was converted to Christianity so in that sense you're right...
Its a younger religion which did same to regions around Saudia Arabia as Christians did around Rome: converting people & destroyin their old (fractured) belief systems.
We had wrapped women in 1600 in Europe. Voila
Also, some Christians still think in a 'us versus them' rhetoric. They still murder, too. For their own benefit, using their religion when it suits them. But in their religion it says murder is wrong...
