Would Jesus be a follower of Islam?
July 3, 2021 at 7:24 am
(This post was last modified: July 3, 2021 at 7:24 am by Fake Messiah.)
If Jesus was born in Muhammad's time and knew about Muhammad, would he join Muhammad, or would Jesus just continue with his ministry without paying attention to Mohammed, or would Muhammad join Jesus and become one of his apostles?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

If big mo was a joiner he could have joined the religions he took notes from, but he wasn’t- so he didn’t.

That is like arguing if Spock knew about Data, or Data knew about Spock.

No, it’s nothing like that, because Spock and Data DID know each other.

No, I don’t think Jesus would have become a Muslim. In fact, I think he probably would have preached against Muhammad, at least to the extent of denouncing him as a false prophet.
I think it’s even less likely that Muhammad would have thrown over his own franchise to follow a radical rabbi, for the reason Nudger states.

Yea not as far as the writers history. There was no Data when Gene Rodenberry wrote the original series.

Actually, the writers are the ones responsible for them knowing each other. Spock was still alive during TNG, and the writers wrote an episode in which they met.
But even if they hadn’t physically met, it seems impossible that Data would not have known about Spock, since the later was at that time one of the most famous and widely regarded figures in the Federation.

Um no, you are arguing after the fact. I am strictly talking about when the original series started. Data was the product of newer writers, not the original writers.

You didn't mention that earlier, but OK.
