    I think if you treat people with courtesy and respect that is usually what you get in return.

    I do not do "believing."

    If you are thanking me for indicating I respect your right to stick with your own blind guesses about the true nature of the REALITY of existence...rather than accepting someone else's blind guesses...you are welcome.

    That's called freedom of thought and religion.

    Good thing I am not inclined to waste time reading the undoubtedly boring ramblings of bigots.

    Always worth reminding myself that away from the rightwing bigotry of social misfits and sociopaths on obscure message boards, there is a whole world of progressive Christians, free thinkers, and theological scholars who recognize the fellowship and fraternity of the two religious traditions of Islam and Christianity.

    The Presbyterian Church (USA)

    "Christians and Muslims"


    The nature of the relationship between Christians and Muslims is significant to the whole human family. We have been in contact with one another for more than fourteen centuries. Today both together comprise nearly half the world’s population.

    Christians respond to the challenges of our contemporary encounters with Islam through faith in the sovereignty of God over the world. Our search for faithful living must be motivated by a desire to love God, to be obedient to God’s will, and to love neighbors as ourselves—whether they be “neighbors” or “enemies.” Where this may lead and how it will bring new understanding between Christians and Muslims rest in the mercy and grace of God. Both Christians and Muslims are challenged to allow God to guide them into a future free from hatred, free from fear, and directed by hopeful love. The future holds the possibility that in our shared life, Christians and Muslims may faithfully respond to God and realize the peace and justice so desperately needed.

    Support the search to promote understanding:

    • Get to know and become friends with Muslim neighbors. Plan reciprocal visits, as appropriate.
    • Identify and counteract prejudicial and abusive behavior toward Muslims in your community and our society.
    • Be sensitive to stereotypical characterizations of Islam and Muslims.
    • Consider questions arising from key dialogue issues facing Christians and Muslims.
    • Study about Islam.

    Support the search for cooperation:

    • Promote relationships and dialogue with Muslims, giving attention to practical, theological, and historical dimensions.
    • Identify common concerns with Muslims. Explore ways to address concerns cooperatively and to engage in joint efforts.
