+34 It's weird how Christians believe Jesus and accept his New Testament, but they don 't believe Muhammad and accept his Qur'an. Why believe one seemingly outlandish story and not the other, amirite?

Cause the bible tell them that the other is fake, and vice versa for the Qur'an.

The Quran doesn't really say the bible is fake. It says some things in the bible have been changed and there is a lot of truth in the bible.

People indoctrinated into a particular religion at a young age tend to have a difficult time questioning their beliefs later in life... sometimes ignoring evidence is easier than changing your mind.

Probably, and I'm just going out on a limb here, because they're //two different religions.// You're a Christian because you believe that Jesus Christ is the Messiah. You wouldn't be a Christian if you also believed that Muhammad was.

Muslims don't believe that Muhammad was the messiah.

Jesus Christ is the messiah in Islam

No. In Islam, Jesus existed, but Muslims don't believe he was a prophet, or anything special.

Muslins totally believe that Jesus was a prophet, they also believe that he is one if the most important prophets aside grom Mohommed, Adam, Soloman, etc.

That's still where it differs. Muslims believe all of these people are prophets, Christians believe that Jesus is our savior.

It's what the person chooses to believe. The problem is when people aligned with one outlandish belief start attacking others because of their outlandish beliefs.

Like the others were saying, you could say this either way. It's all a matter of which religion you choose to follow. Now, if a Christian were to call Islam "outlandish" or anything like that, and vice versa, that's when it starts becoming ridiculous, as MusicIsAGift was saying.

It's not about making decisions based on logic and reason. It's about "faith".

They are incompatible. You can't believe in them both, just like you can't believe that you are both a human and a space llama. You can't believe in the standard model AND string theory. They contradict one another. So if you are a person who chooses to believe in religion, you can't go around saying, "Yeah, I believe that Jesus is savior but I'm a Buddhist Muslim that prays to the Shinto Spirit Gods."

Good point, but not necessarily true for everyone.

Who's read Life of Pi? I feel like that's really relevant here.
