Islam was started by a guy who had some whacky visions after having some bad shrooms.

Christianity is the only religion that worships a Living God.

Looking past your over simplification of thousands of different religions, you are leaving out the order with which these religions came about. Christianity is predated by many religions, some of which have key similarities. The mere idea that there is only one god is predated by polytheism in written history. How do you contend with these facts?

Christianity is the only religion where its God died for its own creation, especially when it was undeserved

Leftists believe that Lenin will rise from the grave every Easter. It's a twisted worldview.

Even you have been granted grace.

God the Father is one of three terrible errors our culture makes.

Authority-dad is made in ego's image.

Actual god is all there is. There is nothing that is not in God.
God is the one conscious person than whom there is no other.
Making up a father God was a great fallacy. Blame the Jews.

Besides your personal grudge how about taking some examples from memory and show how she errs.

Take if you can her comparison of Mark and Matthew and her claim that the times reported differ.
Just that.
Take it. How do you reconcile?

It's been ten years since I looked at it. And at present I have no Bibles.

But ive read a few Bibles decades ago so I'd like to share my issues so you can clear them up. Use anything you can.

My current Android is creative so I may need to edit lot.

What took you so long to get here?

Of course it’s an over simplification.
Many many religions have “father gods”. Many have “mother gods”. Some, such as Zoroastrianism had a single god. What Judaism offers is the first ethical monotheism.

My primary beef with Christendom is the perversion of Jesus' confession, "I and the father are One".

You are taught that it is exclusively true of Jesus.

That is false teaching, of which there is no basis.

Poor things, the early followers were scared of being crucified for the same crime. Heresy. Claiming to be god. It was a frustrating trial. Summary. And failed to be open to the big truth and so condemned him for something he didn't say.
They jumped to a conclusion.
And you think they were sort of right. You think Jesus was a separate thing. Son of God but a guy.
No, he was one with the All and not apart in any way.

And so are we all.
The heresy would have been to claim to be A God.
As if there are two.

Aloha.

I'm Jewish.

I thought it was funny. Later I wrote a detailed explanation.

PS. You know, "there is one God, there is none else"?

Look up the Hebrew word for none and notice definition two. Nothing.

There is one God there is nothing else.

That's so.

Check out my comment "my beef with Christianity".

Only Southern Baptists worship the one true God. So unless you are starting with that doctrine you are struggling in the dark.

You are being funny.

I am still a member of Emmanuel Baptist in lake Charles.
I never heard preaching like you suggest but they were typically revolted at the adoration of the Mother.

Your presumption is that the Christian sources of information are accurate and therefore public and the other sources are inaccurate
it's not a presumption. history tells us this is the case

show me the contemporaneous literature denying the resurrection. it doesn't exist. why is that? the christians were running around all over the med writing these stories down and telling anyone who would listen. yet, there is no corpus of literature refuting their story. people had every chance to oppose the resurrection but apparently didn't.

so my point is, you are criticizing the veracity of the stories because the eyewitnesses aren't alive. but when they were, the stories were recorded and not refuted. thus, the critique bears little weight
