More than one religion can be true nature of existence.
Religions are like different paths leading towards a common destination i.e God. Follow any path with consistency and patience, you will surely reach your destination.
Have you watched the rivers of the world. They all originate from different parts of the world. They have different name. Some are longer and bigger. Some have clear water and some murky. But there is one common thing about all these rivers. They all end in the might ocean. Once the river reaches its end, it loses its identity and becomes one with the mighty ocean. It is then impossible to differentiate which part of the ocean water is from which river.
Similarly, all the different practices and doctrines of the different religions lose their identity in the realm of God. In His realm there is no Christian, no Muslim, no atheist etc.

Short answer, they are both wrong.
The Bible was written by men, not God, they are adaptations of religions that have existed since man first needed something. I am not an atheist, I believe in God, just don't think I need any middle man, of any religious dogmatic persuasion to tell me if I am a bad person or a good person, if my soul is condemned etc.
People that put so much time worrying about who is right and wrong miss the true wonder of the universe, or rather the tip of the iceberg that is our tiny universe.
I vote - The simple religion of "Do Unto Others" works best for all mankind.
P.S. Handel's Messiah is hardly a silly sounding church song, heh.

Christianity is more fun??? Is religion supposed to be about fake people (Santa, the Easter Bunny, etc...) and pagan based holidays? I don't think so. Christianity has many good ideas, but somewhere along the way has been corrupt by society and most of its holidays are no longer religion-based. When Christianity is practiced PROPERLY, I respect it very much. The Christianity of today, in my opinion, is about convenience and what feels good, versus what is right and true. This being said, I find Islam to be a more profound religion that has not lost its focus, which is worshiping God.

One group is not right and the other wrong. Both are wrong when they are killing and blaming the other group.
However, who is better between Christians and Muslims, who is right or wrong is a black or white sort of question.
Both Christians and Muslims have acted in the worst way that humans can act toward each other.
Both have given in to base angry and fear of the other peoples. Both Christians and Muslims are wrong when they act with intolerance and use force to get their way with the other Religious people.
The War in Iraq is a disaster of moral and ethical misbehavior on a grand scale. There is no acceptable excuse for this war. It shows that both Christean in America and Muslims in the Middle East do not pay attention to their own religious principles.
That Jesus would say American actions are noble or morally acceptable is laughable in a very sorry and bloody way.
The Muslims are also not acting according to "The better spirits of their nature" and religion.

I'm a Christian, and unbiasedly so, but I know the Muslims have a right to their own religion also. So does every other religion have a right to exist. So who is right and who is wrong?
I think believers in all religions, besides non believers those that are willing to work together in peace for the betterment of mankind are all right.
But you are right. One religion is right, that is true. But trust me, the right religion will not just win over the other religions, but over those ideologies that are not based on religion like communism, or humanism, or fascism, or socialism, etc.
When will it end? When the true God of the true religion decides when the end will come. No man can decide it. That is why religious wars between man is continuous. now.

I dispute your initial premise.
Since when do numbers of believers make an argument for reason?
Is it not possible that both the several sorts of Muslims and the huge variety of Christians are ALL wrong?
I do agree that, with certain exceptions, like hellfire, christianity is more fun. So why not skip all the theological nonsense and go straight for the easterbunny?

Like I said again and again..To each his own faith.
To you is Christian is right but for me..Islam is the true religion.
Get a life man, pushing your religion to others is not the way. If your religion is the true one, why you need to have this conversation at all. It shows that you yourself not sure thats why you need a poll to back your believe.

No, Our religion is the true one. Abrahim was a muslim, Isa was a muslim, Ishmael was a muslim, Moosa was a muslim, Sulayman was a muslim.
We are those who follow the straight path with a wide open gate.
We are the true followers of the lord of this world.
Ours will be the paradise with wine flowing and maids with wide eyes to serve us while we lay on couches.

You're a Muslim, right????
Are you sure that the Qua'ran is unblemished, unchanged???? Then, please explain to me why is there the Shi'a version???? The Sufi version???? The Baha'i version ???? And so on and so forth????
You're certain that you don't follow any "Pagan" or "Infidel" ways, right???? Please explain to me why is it that you go anti-clockwise around the Ka'aba seven times at increasing speeds, just like the ritual of the al Lah, father of al Lat, al Uzza and al Mannat; required his followers to do???? Why do you still kiss the al Hajarul Aswad, the metorite rock which is supposed to be the Sign of al Lah, the Moon God???? Why is the Qiblah [the direction of all prayers] towards where the al Hajarul Aswad is???? Why do you follow the 5 time prayers of the old cult of al Lah????
Puhlease, before you criticize us, take a look at your own background! Look at the charecter of your so-called "Prophet"!?
Also, please do try to remember that you Muslims are waiting for Isa Massihe [the Messiah Jesus] to come back and defeat the Imam Dajjal and take you all to Heaven along with your Christian Brethren!?!? Do not blaspheme!
All the best!
Cheers!

Well, you are correct....there is Absolute Truth. God is God.....above Him there is no other. But come one, the "ultimate battle"?? Why waste your time trying to cause conflict? We should not be doing that. Our time should be spent leading others to the truth of Jesus Christ, not fighting with one another on a point that let's face it, we will not agree on. I've never known a person to be lead to Jesus by argueing, fighting, being judgmental......all it does is cause others to doubt and turn away. We are called to spread the news of Jesus with the world, we are called to love one another, we are not called to "fight" for Jesus or judge one another........Tell others about Jesus, plant the seed of truth and then pray......only God can accomplish the rest.
You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.....same thing applies here. You can tell others about Jesus gift, but you can't make them accept it or believe it.
