Patrick, very few people of faith truly believe 'their religion is best'. Far from it, most of us view other religions as simply God by another name. As you openly accept, the values in most belief systems are generally charitable and loving.
There can only be one son of god, surely?

If everything in the bible's true, is the Quran full of BS? Does it correlate to the bible?

1) Even cynical Atheists accept that Jesus Christ lived and was killed by the Romans on Pontius Pilate's orders 2021 years ago. There's an abundance of historical evidence and records attesting to this fact. The 'faith' element is whether you choose to believe he was indeed the Son of God or not.

2) Have you read the Qur'an? Or studied any thoelogy at all, to any degree? Islam and indeed ALL Abrahamic religions acknowledge that Christ was born sinless to the Virgin Mary and as such they revere him. Yes, even Muslims. It makes interesting reading if you have a genuine curiosity Derek. There is far more to unite rather than divide us.

PS - We'll all know for sure in fewer than 90 years : - )

1) I didn't realise Jesus was crucified when he was 3 years old. ;)

2) Obviously not, that's why I was asking you if it correlates to the bible. By correlate, I don't mean facts like the sun rises every day, winter is very cold or Jesus existed. FK's how many pages there are in these two books. I was just wondering if these two books are about the same god, are they similar stories like an original film and its remake?

I'm not genuinely curious because I'm pretty sure I know the answer. They are both fairy tales about a higher being because at the time there wasn't any science to explain how we came to be here. A higher being was an easy pick, but there were many ways of writing a story about it.

The bible contradicts itself many times over that's why so many people can take so many meanings from it.

I can accept that Jesus was most likely a real person but he was most likely just one of many many so called prophets probably best summed up by Monty Python in the Life of Brian https://youtu.be/hmyuE0NpNgE

Christianity got its big break when Emperor Constantine converted. I imagine him to be a Donald Trump like figure of his day, he probably thought these Christians would make a good reality theatre show!

As for the immaculate conception.....

:lol: I think I've seen the stand up before but I'll have to watch Life Of Brian again, don't remember that scene. My favourite bit was when the wrong man was nailed to a cross after a convict handed him his cross and buggered off, and he said to the Romans, "will you take me down if he comes back". :)

One of my comedic heroes was Spike Milligan (as well as the Pythons).

This link has nothing to do with Tiger, Religion Monty Python. It just made me chuckle. Spike's anarchic humour is something I've not seen since.
Anyone that can get away with referring to the future King as a 'grovelling bastard' and not get locked up, has to be a bit of a genius.

That is very distasteful Jim, speaking as a practicing Catholic ,

This is a sports forum so let's have respect , and try and keep it to a sports forum, and keep your beliefs to yourself Jimibt.

Actually this should have been deleted by betangel, as slagging of people religion has nothing to do with trading sports,

I am disgusted

Very strange how betangel can take things down when people slag there product off, or say something that peter webb doesn't like, but then turn a blind eye to this,

I await to see exactly what betangel will do with this thread, as if anyone new joined the forum, they would be thinking is this a sports forum or a religious bashing forum
