You know when you draw three lines that intersect at one point so it looks like a circle with six thingys. What's that called? or like two lines that intersect at one point so it's like a cross... but it's not called a cross? And what if you go from lines intersecting at one point to 'V' shapes so you have- I want to call them chevrons in a circle-- what's the shape called?

The questions we pose determine the answers we get.
So many questions asked are grammatically acceptable and thus perceived as worthwhile.
Try answering this one for me, it illustrates the limitations of language in determining thought processes and therefore colouring our judgement.
I pose this as so many question I have read in here are about as semantically useful as this one.
To be worth asking, a question has to have purpose and direction in the information it seeks to ellicit.

The controversy about the personality of Jesus Christ is the major difference between Islam and Christianity. This difference keeps the followers of the two religions apart. Muslims look at Jesus Christ as a great Prophet of God and love and respect him as much as they love and respect Abraham, Moses and Muhammad. Christians on the other hand consider Jesus as God or son of God, a concept that Muslims cannot accept. Islam teaches that Jesus never made such a claim for himself. As a matter of fact all the cardinal doctrines of Christianity that are rejected by Islam center around the personality of Jesus. Specifically these are:
1. The Trinity 2. The Divinity of Jesus 3. The Divine Sonship of Christ 4. Original Sin, and 5. Atonement. It is clear that all these dogmas are the result of over-exhalting Jesus Christ above what God wants him to be. These differences focusing on the personality of Jesus have overshadowed the many similarities between Christianity and Islam.

Not one of those goes-into-GREAT-detail ones, but a light-hearted-yet-deep one. Preferably one that makes you think.
