If it turns out you're both COMPLETELY wrong about the after life but there IS an afterlife. If god is a goddess and love is all that matters or god is a great wolf and the tribe is all that matters - will you still seek a way to damn the "unfaithful"?

After TWENTY responses only ONE answered the question. Christians - so long as you continue to reason like children, the world will regard you as such.

Well, I think God will look at the quality of your character rather than the specifics of your faith.
A good person - whether he/she is Muslim, Christian, Jew, Atheist, Bhuddist, Hindu or WHATEVER - God will come up to you if you've done your best in this life, and say, "Hey, good work out there kid. Welcome to Eternity. Help yourself to some finger foods. Oh, and avoid that Alexander character for a bit - he's got a bit of a chip on his shoulder since he found out I existed."
Don't ask me what eternity is, I don't know. Should be worth the price of admission, I'd say.

You stated, "If it turns out you're both COMPLETELY wrong about the after life but there IS an afterlife"
I reply, "HUH?"
You asked, "If god is a goddess and love is all that matters or god is a great wolf and the tribe is all that matters"
I reply, "Wolves have tribes?"
You ask, "will you still seek a way to damn the "unfaithful"?
I reply, "Christians don't damn anyone. That's God's job. Any person who damns another is NOT Christian so don't believe what they profess to be."
Please don't compare Christians to Muslims. Although they have the same God - the two faiths are totally separate belief systems. Would atheists enjoy being compared to Scientologists because neither believes in Jesus?
My question to you is this; When it turns out you're completely wrong for being an unbeliever, will you still seek to prove yourself right?

the position Christians have a tendency to make faith in good structure their existence form, Muslims are very managed by thier faith. Islam is a finished way of existence, encompassing the State, its guidelines, its social establishments, and its subculture, and hence it isn't only a faith. Godly hatred is illiberal of what's evil. this does no longer propose that Christians use actual rigidity to strike out against pretend faith or corrupt governments, for they don't forget that that's something God has reserved for himself. A Christian’s hatred of such issues is established by his zeal to inform others what God’s be conscious says about the time even as God’s kingdom must be the purely authorities ruling this earth. Godly hatred is better characterised by a feeling of contempt in the route of such issues as mendacity, stealing, immorality. A Christian’s communique, way of existence and selection of leisure go away absolute self assurance as to his stand on those concerns.—Eph. 5:3-5.

Christian here. I won't be wrong. But since you want some sort of answer. IF (although like I said we aren't) Christians are wrong, then I would rather be wrong and live for Jesus and be good to others and share God with others and find out.
I would rather be wrong and have lived a fullfilling life than to be wrong as a radical muslim blowing people up or myself up in order to get a bunch of virgins. Of course, what do the muslim women get?

The question presumes a position that all may not hold re: the "unfaithful". Where did you get the idea that we all damn them? Each person holds a position re: the afterlife based on personal conviction. If we wish to try and convince others to hold a similar position in contradistinction to the plethora of views on the same subject, that is our right, as it is the right of those to whom we speak to accept or reject it.

Actually, Muslims believe that God is beyond gender. In English Muslims say "He" because the English language lacks a respectful, genderless prounoun. "It" just doesn't cut it. And if both Muslims and Christians were wrong, well, then, they're wrong and they'll be proven so. Most people know when to admit defeat, though.

Speaking as a Christian I don't damn the unfaithful and I hope no other Christian has made you to think we do. I pray for you. Not everyone that claims to be a Christian really is one or even understands what it means to be a Christian.
lol...

Lets analyze it logically. Add up the total numbers of Christians 2.4 billion and now add 1.6 billion mulsims of the world. This is more than half of all the world population and that many people can't be wrong. The result is that you are the only one who is 100% wrong.

Well, this question is kinda mote given the religious philosophies you are speaking of....the only way we are going to find out if they are right is if the world comes to an end by one of their gods coming.....then it will be settled and those who are moving on the next life will and those that are not moving on won't.

Hello Alexander S.. :)
It is and has NEVER been our intent to seek a way for anyone to go to hell..it is just the opposite..we wish that none will perish..and so does God..that is why He gave His only Son..that whosoever believeth in Him..shall not perish, but have everlasting life.. :)
In Jesus Most Precious Name..
With Love..In Christ.. :)
