So position-wise, all that leaves me having in common with Stalin is not believing in God, and that's assuming he actually did not, he was not clear about that. I assume he also didn't believe in many other things I don't believe in, like faeries and Santa Clause, which presumably you don't believe are literally real, either. So just the (probable) atheism.
Now Osama bin Laden believed in the God of Abraham, as do you. He believed in the old and new testaments, as do you, though he likely did not trust their accuracy as much as you do. As a Muslim he believed that Jesus (Isa) was born of a virgin and getting crucified wasn't the end of him, and he will be back for judgment day, he just didn't believe Jesus was literally the son of God more than anyone else, just a major prophet. He was likely a creationist, believed in a global flood, all the things that come for your religions sharing some of the same roots.
That's how you have more in common with bin Laden as a Christian than I do with Stalin as an atheist.
If Osama doesn't believe the Jesus Christ IS the God of Abraham and that there is no other name whereby man can be saved, then we really have nothing in common other than a belief in a God...
Sure, if you strain to ignore that parts where Osama believes Jesus was born of a virgin, hung on a cross, and appointed to judge the quick and the dead, the Genesis story is much the same, so is the flood, Jericho, etc., etc.
So you're NOT a creationist? Welcome to acceptance of evolution!
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
