A Simple Rule

RE: A Simple Rule

I did say "for any religion". But yes, I often use the term "Islamo-Christianity". To me, Islam is Christianity on steroids.

Funny thing, there is more difference between the early Christianities (pre-300s CE) than there is between Islam and modern Trinitarian Christianity. Islam and Christianity, after all, agree that:
  • Jesus was born of a virgin.
  • There is only one god (ignore the Triune three-in-one thing)
  • The Old Testament prophets were prophets.
  • The OT god is the same god they worship.
  • Jesus was a physical being.

Compare this to:
  • Ebionite Christians thought Jesus was the son of Mary and Joseph, conceived the way all babies are.
  • The Marcionite Christians believed there are two gods. Some sects believed there were more.
  • The Marcionites ditched the OT and its prophets.
  • The Marcionites thought the Jewish god was an inept and inferior god.
  • The Docetic Christians thought Jesus was not a physicial being.

So I'm quite comfortable lumping Islam and Christianity together.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
