Look at the history of Islam, and Christianities history.
It is like the difference between Catholics and Protestants, you will find some saying that the other side aren't really Christian, but most admit to being the same. Christianity is just a sect of Judaism, I mean, look at our langauge (We are the Spiritual Israel, we are going home to Zion, etc). In fact, initially they mostly worshiped in synogogues.
Good muslims think that Christ turns water into wine and walked on water and fed the 5000/etc. There are many Christians who don't even think that!
Muhammed or whatever, just said that he was the final prophet or something, and said that Christians got things a bit wrong and Christ was a prophet and not the son of God. Now, I agree that muhammed was wrong, but he was building from Jewish/Christian background (And mixed it with Arabian mysticism).
It has nothing to do with PC. It has everything to do with history and development.

What definitive language! History and development is wonderful, so long as you understand it. The doctrinal differences between Christian sects (Catholicism and protestantism, etc...) are based on a mutual grounding (Christ in Christian - Christ as the cornerstone of the faith), whereas the Muslim faith is centered around a totally different archetype and pattern (Christ is by far not the cornerstone, and in fact, Mohammad is closer to that position in the religion). It's somewhat absurd to claim that Islam was based on the same background purely due to aesthetic similarity when fundamentally, Islam is nothing like Judaism or Christianity.Look at the history of Islam, and Christianities history.

Do you feel offended? Grateful? Could you care less? Does it matter what their beliefs are? I know that obviously a lot of Christians wouldn't like it if a satanist prayed to satan for them, but what about a Muslim, Hindu, Jew, Paganist, or someone who is just spiritual in general? This question is for Christians.
I think Michael has a little of what I like to call humility. I think everyone should try it... see what happens.
Sounded like plain uncertainty to me.I think Michael has a little of what I like to call humility. I think everyone should try it... see what happens.
I'd be inclined to believe my God is the right one too, but that's not absolute proof.I am not going to apologise or feel bad for believing that my God is the real one.
I am not being proud about it. Its not a matter of pride, its a matter of faith. I asked Michael that question because I genuinely want to know the answer, he is one of my friends on here so I think he knows that I am asking him out of friendly concern.

....faith? What's faith? Believing something for no particular reason?Exactly. It is faith, not absolute knowledge. And if it is faith, the other deities that people believe could be right.
Do you feel offended?

I don't have friends with outrageous beliefs in the Wickerman, so no, it wouldn't generally matter.frenzy said:Does it matter what their beliefs are?
I'd be cool with anyone praying for me (unless of course they worship the devil). I look at it this way, maybe God will still hear them. Perhapse they just call God by a different name and worship differently but, love God all the same wether they might believe in one or many dietiesDo you feel offended? Grateful? Could you care less?

1. Muslims do not worship the same God as Christians do. That's a very common misconception, but it's not true. Islam says God doesn't live in Heaven but exists everywhere at once and has no form, man wasn't made in His likeness, we should 'submit' to God rather than love Him
