You can't take Christian theology and lump it with all religion since Christianity and its various flavors drastically differ in approach. I can't fathom a selfish Muslim on the basis of his religion nor can I fathom historical Muslims as being uninterested in the world considering their contribution of creating Algebra as we know it along with modern astronomy.
When the statement that the ones who becomes terrorists "love death more than we love life" loses its credibility, maybe. I do recognize there is a lot about charity in it but I would prefer someone helping because it's the right thing to do and not because some cosmic bully demands it.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
