Occam's Razor still comes down on the side of the simple, worldly explanation. Never invoke the Power of God when a straightforward, natural explanation is easily produced.

Going to back to your "roleplaying" ... Did you make up your mind or not? Which one would you choose ... and why?

But allah just let all the people before mohammed (PISSBEUPONHIM) worship incorrectly and believe in the wrong version of things and therefore go to hell? What was he doing for thousands of years before your religion came along stealing ideas from the hundreds that had come before it?

All the Prophets were told to worship the one true God.

But the people followed their own inclinations and thus they corrupted the religions as well as their holy books. That's why Allah made Islam as a final religion.

What evidence if any do you have to claim that people corrupted their religion ?

Role playing exercise is done and I think I already said as much.

The choice comes down to who you think had the better idea of what Jesus was. If I had to make a choice, I'd go with the Christians thinking that the people who knew Jesus or who were part of the church established by his immediate followers had a better idea than some guy who came along six centuries later, who only heard about Jesus from the people he claims got it all wrong.

Nah. Didn't you hear? Allah is releasing Islam v2.1 beta soon. Should iron out all the bugs, stop Muslims being in a constant state of anger and offence and also stop people's logic crashing all the time causing them to stone innocent children to death for being raped.

It says so in the Quran. But wait, that HAS to be circular reasoning. ... Or is it?

Christians: Jesus is God vs. Muhammad: Jesus is NOT God.

So, your comment implies that you are more inclined to believe that Jesus is God than the latter. And if that's your opinion, then let it be so.

If that's true, then I'm really interested to see that version. I'm not sure if I'll convert to that version or not, though. Have to see it first.

Anyways, I'll take this comment as your final answer, and if that is true, then, you shouldn't go for Christianity as opposed to Islam.
