Why are people so skeptical towards Christianity and Islam?

Question

I am Muslim and all of the Christians and Muslims I know are sweet, kind-hearted, caring and very loving. FYI, both religious are very similiar and don't teach any sort of violence towards other religions, so I don't know where the heck that came from.

both religions*

There are lots of differences but also a lot of similarities. Of course, muslims do not believe in Jesus as the son of God and Christians do not believe in Prophet Mohammad (SAW) but, both religions follow the 10 commandments.

Answer 1

hatred is in the heart of a person and is a terrible sickness,God however is the physician.

Answer 2

Good Question, but Islam and Christianity are at the heart of the majority of the pain and suffering in the world right now. They don't have a monopoly on them though, the Jews have a good hunk of that for being such a small minority in the human population. Most of us who are not Jewish, Christian, or Muslim, want to be left alone.

I will ring your doorbell and run away.

Answer 3

Its a merchant driven force pushed onto gullible people who are scared by their continuously being fed everything bad about each other they can find and blowing it out of proportion. Example: No one ever tells Christians here in the US that the attack on the Towers was a military target. Not like everybody who worked there did not know they worked in a hostile environment that oppressed many people world wide. Fear is something scripture tells us we need not have, but preachers just are not preaching it. Accountability is an important part of scripture but we do not teach it or practice it. Religious teachers are also to be accountable but try to tell people that , yet in the Bible in Mat. 18 and the letters to TIM it is spelled out clearly.

People who are friends of God seem to be too lazy to read their own scripture for themselves. We have often in the past been led astray by merchants who profit from war. Guess if we are gonna be lazy then we get to be scared and hateful.

Answer 4

Some see beneficial similarities between all religions, others see divisions and have a human need to think me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, I'm right, you're wrong... and then they go kill each other to prove it.

I find it quite ironic that all the hate is always in the name of god and the prejudice and discrimination is always based on the rules man wrote for god. Nothing like sanctifying your own personal prejudice based on a religious text written by men living in an age with far less knowledge than today.

Answer 5

I know wonderful Christians and Muslims. Extremists ruin it for everyone. People helping each other is less news worthy than negative aspects of a race or religion.

Skepticism comes from bombings, beheadings, violence. Skepticism comes from Benny Hinn, Rev. Haggard, Peter Popoff, Rev. Phelps.

Answer 6

Islam - the Qur'aan became sent via God. that's an entire and organic faith that has been unfold via the final Prophet, Prophet Muhammad (observed). We have self belief in each and all the books of God- be it the Torah, Bible and the Quraan (criterion). We even take Jesus as our Prophet, yet we don't persist together with his teachings with the aid of fact yet another prophet got here after him with a sparkling revelation. Christianity.. some have self belief Jesus is God.. it is attributing something to God it is incorrect even interior the actual chrisitanity. The Bible became changed and written throughout lower back via guy so that's now no longer a holy e book. the actual bible became lost. Jesus did no longer die (muslims have self belief jesus became taken as much as heaven and God made somebody else who gave the impact of him, to be crucified). He did no longer get reincarnated. he's in Heaven staring at for the time of antichrist to kill him. Jesus will come lower back.. it is each and all the perspectives of the Muslims. that's what i think of is the version

Answer 7

The concepts are nearly impossible for some to believe. The Bible says God will use the foolish things of this world to confound the wise.

Blessed Be

Answer 8

Skepticism is the correct scientific and philosophical attitude. Everything is assumed to be false until proven true. Therefore, god is assumed to not exist until someone can prove he exists. No one has been able to yet.

This skepticism also led to the field of modern medicine, which has allowed us to live much longer and healthier than we ever could before. If you're against skepticism, then you should stick to your beliefs and never visit a hospital.

Answer 9

NO offense, but I am a Christian and islam and Christianity are not similiar to me, We preach JESUS CHRIST AS THE SON OF GOD AND RECOGNIZES WHAT HE HAS DONE ON THE CROSS!!!!! AND I Have muslim friends who do not believe what I do, so in saying this we are not similiar!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

Dont worry about why they treat Chrsitians and Islam the way they do. Even if we ever understood why, it would not stop them from continuing with it. Just do what God tells us to do with people like that...

Matthew 5:44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

Answer 11

Because anyone with half a brain soon realizes that these belief systems are internally inconsistent on a fundamental level....hence they cannot be true.
