But they DO agree on something that's totally central to all of the different Christian sects and that's Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.

Love without hatred and righteous judgement is mushy sentimental crap, not the way the God of the bible actually is.
"God is a God of wrath, people. He's a God of anger. Now does that sound like a poorchoice of starting points for the gospel? Think about it. The bad news has to come before the good news, doesn't it? It's kind of like going to the doctor...and having the doctor say to you - I have bad news; you have a fatal illness that has killed many people. But, I have good news, a cure has been found and I have it right here. See the good news means nothing without the bad news. Right? You have to diagnose the disease before the cure means anything.
The bad news is - God hates. The good news is - God loves, but you have to start with His hate. First the diagnosis then the cure."
The Wrath of God
Mohammed was a demonic pervert, yes. His religion is false, but his ideas about God were biblically sound.

Gender Inequality in Islam
Before Marriage
To get married, a Muslim man must give dowry to his future wife. The bride-to-be does not have to give him anything.
Quran 4:4 And give the women (on marriage) their dower as a free gift; but if they, of their own good pleasure, remit any part of it to you, Take it and enjoy it with right good cheer.
During Marriage
During marriage, the husband must support his family. If he is able but doesn't give any money for the needs of the family, he sins. It's different on the part of the wife. She does not have to give any financial support. Even if she can but does not, she won't sin.
Quran 4:34 Men are the protectors and maintainers of women, because God has given the one more (strength) than the other, and because they support them from their means. Therefore the righteous women are devoutly obedient, and guard in (the husband's) absence what God would have them guard. As to those women on whose part ye fear disloyalty and ill-conduct, admonish them (first), (Next), refuse to share their beds, (And last) beat them (lightly); but if they return to obedience, seek not against them Means (of annoyance): For God is Most High, great (above you all).
Quran, 4:19 O ye who believe! Ye are forbidden to inherit women against their will. Nor should ye treat them with harshness, that ye may take away part of the dower ye have given them, except where they have been guilty of open lewdness; on the contrary live with them on a footing of kindness and equity. If ye take a dislike to them it may be that ye dislike a thing, and God brings about through it a great deal of good.
Quran, 4:20-21 But if ye decide to take one wife in place of another, Even if ye had given the latter a whole treasure from dower, take not the least bit of it back; Would ye take it by slander and a manifest wrong? And how could ye take it when ye have gone in unto each other, and they have taken from you a solemn covenant?
After Marriage
If they are divorced, the ex-husband would STILL have to support his ex-wife. It's still would be basically the same as they were married, except, no sex. The ex-wife does not have to give him anything. The ex-husband that does not pay alimony is going against the command of God.
Quran 2.241 For divorced women Maintenance (should be provided) on a reasonable (scale). This is a duty on the righteous.

So what about the marriages of super young girls and abuse I keep hearing about in the news? That's immensely disurbing when Islam is often used as the justification for such things.
The concept of God in Islam is logical while the concept of God in Christianity is not.
It's not logical for God to sacrifice something or someone because sacrifice means losing something. What did God actually loses? He owns everything because He creates and maintains everything.
If Jesus is God, where was Jesus before he was begotten?
Islam is all about logic.
Quran : The Sincerety : 112:1-4,
Say, "He is God , the one and only,-
God , the Eternally Absolute,
He neither begets nor is begotten,
Nor is there to Him any equivalent."
What's should be minimum age for marriage and why? What should be actual age? 10? 15? 18? 21 and a half? 25? What should it be?
If I say that lions have stripes and you say that I'm wrong, it implies that you have a correct description of lions, isn't that right?For you and your islamist majority country it should be 6 so that you can emulate your islamist prophet.
I married my wife when she's 23, is that too young?
Then why are you saying what the Prophet Muhammad did was wrong? If something is wrong, then it automatically implies that there's a right. What is the right one?Which wife? As for the post above I was just recommending a age for your kind of people. Different people have different needs.

The New Testament and Christian bible in general comes from the Catholic church, which the people you spoke of say are going to Hell. It's funny to me.
