What were Jesus and early Christians like?

[abaris]

One wonders whether inshallah is the direct menifestation of preservation of a certain brutal fatalism that might have prevailed amongst the pre-Islamic Bedouin society with their marginal wondering existence and internecine tribal warfare. This would make it a different thing from Calvinism, which is a Christian theologically derived thing with tenuous connection to pre-Christian social and moral norms.

Yet both are fatalistic. I've yet to find a Calvinist, who can explain the use of trying to lead a christian life if their fate is predestined anyway. It gets pretty hilarious when they try.

As for the muslim variant, I recently stubled across a set of vids about the new Winter soldiers. Iraq war veterans being vocal about what they had seen and done.

One of them told a story about storming a house and knocking down a wall with a grenade launcher. One kid inside died and that particular soldier said he was destroyed seeing what he had done. He broke down in tears, but the mother of the dead child took him into her arms and said Inshallah.
