Dear friend, as a Christian, I belive that Christianity is a fellowship with God, and there are many reasons why we think other religions are false and its based upon the Holy Bible, the word of God.
And about hinduism, its a culture more than a religion, as an Indian, i respect my culture and I am proud to say that its one of the finest cultures in the world. But Hinduism says that there are 330,000,000 Gods. which I personally believe as non sense.
About Islam, Historical evidences, impartial logic, well versed references and all available circumstantial judgments can very well prove that—
(a) Allah name of deity was pre-existed much before the arrival of Islam,
(b) Pre-Islamic Pagan peoples worshipped Allah as their supreme deity (moon-god). Allah’s name existed in pre-Islamic Arab. In ancient Arab the Allah was considered to be the supreme God/deity (as Moon-God) and Arab Pagans worshipped Allah before Islam arrived.
Allah is the name of the only God in Islam. Allah is a pre-Islamic name coming from the compound Arabic word Al-ilah which means the God, which is derived from al (the) ilah (deity). It was formerly the name of the chief god among the numerous idols (360) in the Kaaba in Mecca before Mohammed made them into monotheists. Today a Muslim is one who submits to the God Allah.
Mecca was the place where the idol Allah was located, so the people would face in that direction when they prayed. Prior to Islam the people would pray 5 times a day facing Mecca (The Encyclopedia of Islam p.303) Prior to Islam's beginning each Arab tribe used Allah to refer to its own particular high god. This is why Hubal, the Moon god, (known by other names) was the central focus of prayer at the Kaabah and people prayed to Hubal and they used the name Allah. The crescent moon was the symbol of the moon God Allah (Hubal) and is still used as a symbol of Islam today (although they have changed the meaning to be -from Mecca to the moon Islam will spread). Today there is hardly a Muslim that knows its ancient origin. History records it as an ancient pagan fertility symbol that is found throughout the Middle East. Mohammed smashed all the idols that led the people into idolatry but the black stone was kept which Muslims continue to kiss today. This was another practice that preceded Mohammad.
Thus Islamic Allah is a fictious god created by Mohammad.

You obviously have a lot of misconceptions regarding Christianity. You base your beliefs about Christianity on what you imagine Christians believe. Why not actually learn more about what you're making comments on. I used to believe in evolution. In fact, I believed in it for most of my life. Then, I researched and investigated for myself instead of listening to everyone else. I realize you're not talking about evolution here, I was only using this as an example of how your perspective can change when you find out things for yourself. Also, what Christians really believe is just as much their right to believe and express as anyone else's opinions, including yours. I have been much more civil than you in expressing what I think of your beliefs and I don't have the first clue as to how you came to be so misinformed, but the solution is to read, study, research, investigate and learn all you can about an issue which apparently bothers you a great deal. By the way, I'm not the devil and most certainly neither is Jesus. Since I don't know anything about Hinduism, I will refrain from making comments about this religion and those who practice it. You might consider extending Christians the same courtesy.

why did you ask so many questions in one question?! holy cow!
lots of people seemed threatened by christianity...i have nothing against hinduism but it seems like you're doubting. when i'm in doubt i turn to truth...maybe you should check the bible out. the bible is God's inspired words through His people. Things prophesied in the Old Testament came to pass in the New Testament. You can't deny those things. Religions are being formed every day. The thing about christianity is that it's more than a religion...it's a relationship with the King of King's, the son of God who came to earth so He could know what we go thru...we can talk to Him & He can answer us. You don't get that with religion.

Other religion is by the devil. Why? The story is like this. Once Lucifer and his army has been thrown away from heaven, they surely know they will be cast into hell soon. Thats why they want to get human to join them to hell as well.
How? They whisper human mind and heart to sin; do drugs, free sex, idolatry, lust and many more.
Why human? Because God loves human very much and human are created based on God's images (read Genesis).
Why devil hates human? Because if human have faith on Lord Jesus, they will have power over the devil. By praying in the name of Jesus, devil can be cast away (and devil really scared to hear Jesus' name).
Human knows take opportunity and avoid bad things. But how they get into the devil's trap? Example, drug dealer nicely offer a free drug supply to this good guy. After a few weeks, this good guy turn to be drug addicted and ask for more. He willing to rob and kill just to get money to get a shot of drug.
Another sample, a sexy looking girl offer a free sex to this guy. But after receiving the offer, the guy already fall into the traps. Drug and free sex are sin.
Try to convert from Christian to other religion, you will surely see nothing happened to you. But try to convert from other religion to Christian. You will be ignore by your family, will be jailed (in certain country) and people will hate you for being Christian. Believe it, or not. (Try it yourself to see).
Sad things if you're not a Christian is that, you pray to nothing but devil. Imagine calling a number and it says "this number is not available". But you keep assume its a voice of human but actually its only an answering 'bot'.

First of all, All Christians don't say that. Do you have any idea how hard it would be to have all Christians agree on everything. We all agree that Jesus Christ, as God's son, died on the cross that we might have ever lasting life. That is about the only thing that I believe all Christians agree on. There are many religions that believe many differnt things. We think we are right, just as others think they are right. I have bet my life on my religion. That is how sure I am that I am right. You and all others have the right to choose for your selves in whom or in what you stake your lives.

You know that adherents of each religion claim that their own religion is the one and only true one, while other religions are fake.
I say to each their own.
That was an interesting picture. However, the resolution and angle leads me to believe that what appears to be a bridge is merely an optical illusion caused by cloud formations.
If I am wrong, I am delighted, as it is a fascinating picture indeed. Thanks for sharing.
Peace.

Because Christians are clueless people. They don't practice what they preach and the don't even know the book they swear by. If they would open their minds and learn about the history of Christianity then maybe they would stop that nonsense.
