Quibbling over the inherent nature of God, is an entirely different discussion than the existence of god. Both religions concede that they have the same creator. So that’s settled between them.Muslims are glad you agree with them. So with the Deity issue mutually agreed upon by both groups; that leaves the religion. On can choose which religion to practice. One cannot choose their creator. So... Between the two choices Which religion offers more to men?Did the Christian god create the men, and women who are currently Muslim?First things first. Allah and the Christian God are not even close to the same. You might start with the fact that Allah is monotheist and God is a Trinity.
Yes.
This is not difficult.
K if you're just going to shove words in my mouth i did not say we're done here. Quite frankly you're very satisfied with what you know but you obviously know little, and that's the truth. I don't put up with that for long.
PS We do not agree. Muslims are wrong. There is no Allah. He is monotheistic. The Christian God is Triune.
Actually, there are many liberal "Christian" churches that cater to people as such as this. These are the hypocrites who give Christianity a bad name. I call them CINOsI see this question makes you uncomfortable. You aren’t the first...It’s precisely the right question, and worded precisely as intended. I find it interesting that many posters wish a different question had been asked, or a similar question had been asked in a different way. Truly fascinatng...It's not fascinating; you're asking the wrong question. It's like asking: I want an ice cream cone, where's the best brewery to get one.
I don't know. Do whatever you're not asking the right question in the first place.
What fast food restaurant should I go to for the best great wine?
That question is also worded exactly as intended. Now answer: the results will be fascinating
I'm not at all uncomfortable. You're just stopping in the wrong store. If you're looking for a self-centered life, do not choose religion at all. Most of the world does this and it works out perfectly well for them.
If anything I'm frustrated by how you're not getting this.
I never took him as a tard, but he is in this area.
The lifestyles are quite the point in question...The purpose of the subject making the decision being agnostic is to remove preconceived bias for or against, one or the other. The effect on his mortal life is what this newfound deist is pondering. As such he’s looking at the two and trying to assess which will have the greatest benefit to him, who is a man; and the fulfillment of his interests, and the perpetuation, success, and fulfillment of his progeny.I get it. You want to answer a question I didn’t ask, and I’m not playing along. I won’t follow you into the weeds simply because you may not like where you perceive this question is headed.I see this question makes you uncomfortable. You aren’t the first...

The question is simple. Both religions foster different customs, cultures, and behaviors. All of which are things a person takes into account before pursuing, or adhering to a belief system. As such, of the two; which one offers more to men in this mortal world as practiced by today’s adherents?
If you can’t, or won’t answer... That’s fine. If you’d prefer to pose a different question... start a thread. Thanks for your participation.
Well now you are asking a significantly different question. As a reminder here is your OP question:
The idea of this thread being... If an Agnostic man was looking to take up religion; and decided to shop the idea around, between the two main contenders at the moment; Christianity, and Islam...
Which would have more to offer men? Which would be the better choice, and why? Which one do you think would best suit not only his immediate interests, but also his long term planning for his family, and generational progeny?
In the OP question you make it very much seem like the man has no convictions whatsoever, and is just absolutely out for personal gain. In that case, do what everyone else does: don't take one on. Or just go to church on Christmas and Easter for the "feel good"--whatever. But mostly, don't bother.
In the question you just asked however, if you are already compelled that one religion is probably, actually True--than yes, the customs, culture and behavior overall should have some impact on your decision. But this is not like "shopping an idea around". ???
To what end, then? To when end is he "assessing which will have the greatest benefit to him"?
You should realize you cannot convert to Christianity on that premise. You might decide to live a Christian life on the outside, but I'm not sure why.
That’s like you saying you don’t believe Muslims take a shit because their language and cultures have a different sound/word that means defacate...Quibbling over the inherent nature of God, is an entirely different discussion than the existence of god.

Dead wrong. Neither religion "concedes that they have the same Creator". Muslims believe Allah created all; Christians believe God created all.
You're so wrong yet so arrogant about it...a common trait among unbelievers, I have found.

That’s irrelevant to the OP. Piety is for “God” to decide. What is inherent for the readers of this OP to decide, answer, explain...

You should realize you cannot convert to Christianity on that premise. You might decide to live a Christian life on the outside, but I'm not sure why.

It is not. You cannot convert to Christianity for the "lifestyle". You may be able to join a heretical church. However, Jesus will absolutely reject you in the end, because Christianity is not about "lifestyle". It's about what you BELIEVE--Who you follow.
"If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved."--Romans 10:9-10
It is dangerous for you to pretend in this manner. Let's say your pretending leads you to participate in a church like a pretender, for the "lifestyle", for the benefits. If you take Communion, you "eat and drink judgment on yourself":
"For anyone who eats and drinks without first eats and drinks judgment on himself. This is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep."--1 Corinthians 11:29
God will not be mocked. We are serious about this. Every Sunday before Communion our Pastor gives a gentle, yet serious warning to all visitors and non-believers.
Again your debating the intrinsic nature of the creator.

You're so wrong yet so arrogant about it...a common trait among unbelievers, I have found.
There are books, see, written about these Gods. This is what I've been trying to tell you.
For just one thing, Allah is MONOTHEISTIC. Look up what that means.
God is a TRINITY. Look up what that means.
Got that?? Wrapped your head around it???
God/Allah can only be ONE of those. Okay? If the Creator of All is monotheistic, and behaved as Allah did, it's likely Muslims are dead right. If God is a Triune God, we are right.

I suppose you think I'm going to say Islam is a better religion because you can subject women and treat them poorly as you would perhaps like to do. Quite frankly since you treat shopping for religion like shopping for a car and would be in a Christian church at least at this time for the very wrong reason, I really don't care if you think Christianity has use for your selfish means. There are loads and loads of Bible verses to back that up, by the way.
I also guess you thought I would be compelled to market my religion or something. To defend it for someone looking for absolutely selfish gain. Absolutely not. Jesus said Himself it's the narrow way. It's not for those who are not called, and that's it. He said before you follow me, count the cost.
None of this is about counting cost--it's about nothing but gain. I just can't tell you how absolutely backward you are, you don't care, perhaps even to your spiritual, eternal detriment. Go your way then; I've done my part.

Still Islam. You can have 4 bitches and they can't say anything or you can beat the shit out of them. Or divorce them by repeating I divorce you 3 times. That's a sweet deal.That’s allegedly promised after death, if conditions are met. This question pertains to the here, and now.Nobody beats 72 virgins each.
