Ethnicity has nothing to do with belief in Christ.
They are all Muslims

If they don't have faith in Christ, apparently God didn't grant them faith.
What are you not grasping? Regardless of faith in Christ or whether God didn't grant them faith, Muslims and Christians come to believe in God in the SAME EXACT way. So what is the difference?
I don’t know. I’m not sure that I’m more inclined than anyone else to recognize patterns, but I do think I’m probably more inclined to believe in God. Don’t know why but I assume it has at least something to do with my very religious upbringing. But, rationally, I do agree that the order I do see does contribute to confirming my belief in an intelligence and consciousness underlying/foundational to our reality.
and he believes in a deist type god ... so to me, its kind of the same thing.
Oh, I didn't know that.
Well, I don't believe in a distant, disconnected god, so perhaps that's the difference?
TY for info, I am not that well versed in the types of gods and religious beliefs.
But its interesting to me that believers and people of other religions can attack different religions so hard for being "so" wrong. It astounds me that they even think that reasonable. I can see not liking jerks in the religion, but they attack the whole thing.
AntI christian spin
Belief in god is a mental defect
But anti christian and atheist are not the same
True atheists are not anti anything they are rational and as a whole pretty moral
The Bible tells us that all people will feel God's wrath because they're sinful if they do not have a savior. Their ethnicity or nationality is irrelevant.
This is the problem. Good people will burn alongside mass killers, but people who believe the right doctrine will be ok. Well, it stinks, and that of course, is what the other doctrines think about you.

That's even worse. Now it's not just royal pardons for party members, but God picking names out of a hat.

Well, Belief in God is not rational but it is perhaps instinctive.
And I am a bit uncomfortable with terms like 'anti - Christian'. Never mind 'True Atheist'. The only False ones I know of are Theists pretending to be atheists to snipe at us from within the camp.
Let me guess - 'True Atheists' are the ones that keep their potato -traps shut?

They give themselves away. It's easy to fake being a theist. It's hard to fake being an atheist.
If ALL god beliefs are just a product of the brain, how would that make it anti-Christian? That would be arguing because Christians do not believe in other gods, they must be anti-Christian.

No one is arguing it is a mental defect. But god beliefs may just be a false product of the brain, and not real. But you do raise an interesting question, should this have been posted in the atheist and agnostic section of this forum.

There is no need for the word 'true', one either believe in gods or one do not.
But thank you for the compliments.
