Same thing - FICTIONAL characters

AND - it is theists who you can ask

Ask any Xtian about allah - and ask any muslim about THe christ/god

In fact - it is easy to understand religion - ask theists about the "other" religions.

THEY will give reasons why all religions are wrong. Leaving NONE to accept

Different.
Quote:1. Say that because Muslims have differing opinions on The Creator that it is "a different God". Differing opinions on the attributes of God are held by Muslims and Christians sometimes (though the vast majority are the same). Does saying God has a son and God doesn't have a son really mean you are talking about two different things?
Yes.
Glad to have cleared that up! Smile

it seems to be deliberate misinformation from Islam. Allah is never a name for God used by Jews or Christians. The name predates Christ and was used for the moon God, which was discredited in Judaism. The crescent moon which identifies Islam seems to support this.

It's thw same god, sure. The God of Abraham.

You know what gets me about belief in this god? Gods have possibly been worshipped for hundreds of thousands of years (there is some evidence of early Hominids performing theistic burials of their dead) and certainly worshipped by humans for tens of thousands of years, right? But they were all wrong, their gods didn't exist. Then suddenly, by pure coincidence, during the Bronze Age a REAL god revealed itself to man. People making up fake gods for so long not knowing there even was one REAL god was just an amazingly amazing coincidence. Theists really don't see what's wrong with that.

Fundie atheists insist the Bible be read strictly in a literal sense, which leads them to endorse the same conclusion.
