FreakyKBH. I've been looking up on the many debates on here for quite a while now. Each time I found that you're defensive and gave illogical responses. But this particular post I find that your argument is sensible. At least something for a change!
Very interesting argument and makes a lot of sense. But let's leave the lottery and coin toss for a moment ...[text shortened]... having the same sin; and therefore same punishment? So which lever should we pull?
Am/did not! Am/did not! Am/did not!
Even further muddying the waters of the choice you have reduced it to, both Muslims and Christians have historically engaged in power struggles unrelated to either of their core beliefs. Moreover, both sides have claimed that eternal outcomes hinge on adoption/rejection of their political aims, totally antithetical to the issue of salvation.
The answer is for each individual to determine, without coercion from politically-minded groups masquerading as representatives of spiritual schools of thought. Whether God is accurately represented by either the tenets of Christian or Muslim beliefs, one thing is certain: He honors man's autonomy in the choice.
