Ever noticed no one argues over religions like Druids, Witches, tribes, statanism and pagan? Whether you like it or not, they keep themselves to themselves and don't ram their beliefs down anyones neck. Most other religions, prime example of christianity and muslim, cause that much heartache and fighting it's unreal. Agree?

It has always struck me as strange, this fighting between the Jews, Christians and Muslims. They all have more or less the same book with just a few bits added or taken away.
If there were a God it might have some point.
The other religions just have the element of persecution from authorities and Theistic religions so they don't need to fight amounts themselves.

discussions and arguing, can be something negative, if the two or more persons involved don't know what they are arguing about it. I have notice many things in this my life time, and different opinions are acceptable until they don't become an attack, or an insult, that can destroy, the persons, moral values, and principals that each of us, can have to approach life in this material world, in the best possible way, we can discover how, to follow the Predetermined path, we will need to follow, "In pursue of some of God desires for man to become and achieved", have you notice that the groups and sects that you mention, don't love each others?, as Christians do, love each others? This is real, although not the reality in which all Christians will like to live, but we are working at it, not just walking, in an effort to copy some others attitude, because that is what others religions other than Christianity offers to their followers.

It's true because Christians (and I believe Muslims also) believe it is their duty to inform others. Believe me, most Christians aren't very good at this and would rather not do it. Others take their job very seriously. It's sort of like finding a million dollars and knowing that everybody else could get it too... it's pretty hard to keep a secret! That's how Christians feel. We know what others are missing out on and are, in essence, obligated to tell them!
Don't be threatened by it, they do it out of love, whether they do it well or not... well... we're all human!
Be blessed.

Druids keep to themselves because if they come out their beliefs will be laughed at? Really? Surely they don't believe in ridiculous things like virgins giving birth and people coming back from the dead, do they? Druids and witches have no reason to be ashamed of their beliefs, because their weirdness just pales in comparison to some religions that I know

Have you noticed that in the history of time it's always been the Buddhists that never caused any trouble and never tried to force their religion down other people's throat. They never punished 'misbehaving' followers or anything like that. And still, after a few thousand years, they are one of the 5 main religions that we consider as main religions. This is just proof that a religion could and, indeed should, survive without having to cause wars and kill people.

'The reason is... there is indisputably only ONE God..Christians,Muslims and Jews all agree with this.
The other so-called religions are only superstition..and who would worship the Devil anyhow??Psychopaths etc. '
LOL! What would you base that belief on? The Bible? The Qur'an? You will find that many religions have holy books that claim only their religion is correct.
To answer the main question; Christianity and Islam; being two of the largest religions naturally see the most argument; people are more used to them and there are more people believing in them to argue/ argue with. Christianity and Islam do and have caused much suffering and many wars whilst claiming to be the only way to be truly moral. This contradiction ignites much argument along with the incredibly stubborn faith that many practitioners of those two religions maintain. When stubborn faith faces evidence and logic there will be large arguments. People tend not to come across stubborn people of druidic, wiccan etc. faith; being the smaller religions they are used to being surrounded by the beliefs of more dominant religions and subsequently their followers often are able to see outside their own religion and look at what others believe; many of them subsequently maintain their beliefs but are more tolerant than the mainstream religious whose stubbornness imbued by their upbringing incites arguments.

Because there is the basic difference. For some, mylord Christ is Divine, for others, mylord Jesus is God's creation, not God's son, not a god himself. Jesus Christ is a very highly exalted Holy Prophet of Islam ( a human ) whose coming into and going out of Earth is a mystery; to be solved when he comes again to Earth. Muslims believe that he shall come to them, as a Muslim... and inter alia shall kill the antiChrist... and lead the Muslims against oppressors and misbelievers.

The only religion is the religion of the creator God. He existed in Trinity to redeem his created human who were tested for their obedience and failed.
God forgives our sins if we repent, our past and future sins are covered by the blood of Christ.
The resurrection of Christ gives us everlasting life, because Christ conquered death.
The Holy Spirit then dwells in the heart of believers to sanctify them - make them less sinful every day.
One day we will reach heaven either through resurrection or rapture - where we will have sinless heavenly bodies
and enjoy existence in the presence of the true and loving God.
Go ahead all of you who wish otherwise - mock the true creator God - and when you die one day and wake up at the judgement seat of God- just continue sneering at the only righteous God and be sent to eternal separation from all that is good and everlasting.
Don't you know God allowed Satan to temp you away from
the truth with many false beliefs and you fell head over heels in love with Satan's lusts and godless pleasures of this earth, and you failed in obeying His Word(the Bible).
The bible warns against gaining the whole world and losing your soul.
The majority of Christian denominations are Satan influenced - so you should only pick the true denominations that preaches the infallibility of the Bible.
Infant Baptism has no place in the Bible. Only the Baptism of true repentance passes the test for Salvation.
REPENT AND BE BAPTIZED FOR THE REMISSION OF SINS _ TODAY!!

100%. Its childish and intolerant. I don't really give a fig what religion a person is, it's of no importance to me, so why do some people of faith behave like this. Live & Let Live, thats my motto.
Although having said that, I'm not a huge fan of Scientology, Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons. But that doesn't mean I would be rude or nasty to people who follow those paths, I'm just not that interested in them myself.

Well its something to do with the fact that Jesus said spread the word (Gospel) the good news. To be a obedient Christian we need to evangelise to the lost and be salt and light in the world. He also said you will be hated because people wont want to hear the truth preferring to live in darkness.
