Rayaan Wrote:And what are your evidences for Christianity?
I notice how you buzzed past the limitations of Islamic evidence.
Beyond the letters of the church founders, both in and out of canonical scripture, there are historical documents found in Tacitus, Josephus, and others. There is also the established church which probably had a better idea of what Jesus said and taught than some guy in another country who came along six centuries later and could only have heard about Jesus from the people he claims got it all wrong.
Does this mean I believe in the Christian claims? No. Their supposed evidence collapses under close scrutiny. However, at least they give me something to scrutinize.
Quote:You already agreed with me before that Muslims also use the Hadiths of the Prophet (pbuh), not only the Quran. I don't know why you're trying to go back again.
Because the Hadiths are oral tradition, highly unreliable sources that can't be considered corroboration. Additionally, I regard the Hadiths as the Islamic Acts, since it serves the same role.
Quote:And do you believe that Jesus actually said that or no?I don't think Jesus ever existed. If he did, the Christian holy book is the only detailed source of information. Again, advantage: Christianity.
I have to emphasize that this contest is a choice between which religion is the bigger pile of bullshit, but in my analysis, Islam doesn't hide it as well.
