Christianity and islamic beliefs to my mind parallel religions(in a broad sense) they sprang from the same Ideas and both have an agenda to do away with any nonbelievers in one form or the other.since they are the predominant faiths in the western world? I would like to hear everyones opinions about the parallel religions. and the possible reprocussions of a clash between the 2.

Islam is worse for women. It allows a man four wives and countless concubines. No matter how the women perceive it, cheating is not possible for an islamis man, he is not obliged to be faithful by his religions. Christian men cheat in defiance and disobedience to their religion.

I don't think Islam or Christianity are all that different from any religion, other than they made it to be the top two religions in the world. That has more to do with the societies that have those religions being successful as conquerors than any inherent quality to the religion.
All religions don't want you to be exposed to other religions. That brings outside thought and views in. Religions can't survive that, if they want to remain pure to themselves. For example, once people start to question the premise that the Earth is not 6,000 years old, then all of the Christian religion's premise's comes into question. Best not to ask any questions, and the best way to ensure that is to not be exposed to new ideas or thoughts.

Tao and Zen are not that way. But, those are more philosophies than religons.
However, most religons are quite exclusive of outside influence. Wonder why, is the premise that weak that it has to be protected from outside influences?

As you said...those two are not religions but philosophies...as are Buddhism and Hinduism
You ask if the "premise is that weak..." Indeed, nothing based on a negative or false statement will ever be strong.

It's not so much that the two religions have ridden on the coattails of sociieties it's the fact that they have driven these societies to conquor in their name.
the religions have been a driving force in the past and altho they have been less blatant about it in recent times it still is a motivation in politics.
The U.S. is involved in multiple wars due to politics that are endorsed by the religions.
Does this scare anyone?
both religions have fringe elements who want to bring about total war to bring about the stated end of the world to hasten the comming of their gods return.

Why, we let Cheney and Bush invade a country that did nothing to us based on a series of lies proven wrong replaced with more lies. Problem is, some of the crazy people have access to armies, so the sane people have to react with their armies.

Duchessa people do allow this to happen very often .ie hitler, stalin, tojo, pol pot, edie amin the list is endless .the differnce is now its easy to wage war from any where in the world.
The world has gotten so small that it is relativly easy to start a war any where at any time.

I think the worst offenders are the fanatics that take bits and pieces from their religious doctrines or from preachers and form a misguided, uninformative interpretation to condone their behaviors. It is a bunch of hypocrites that use religion as a means to justify their condescending, ignorant behaviors, beliefs and attitudes onto others.

My assertion is and always has been that the only difference
between the two is that western society has managed to stip
the religious leaders of any "real" power.
It's unfortunate that christians have a mental block when it comes to
their own history.
They all have this "that was then and this is now" mentality.
They all forget about the series of events through out history
that should be a warning to what can and has happened when you give these
leaders true power.
Everything from the dark ages to the inquisition to the burning of witches.
Power has been given and stripped (albeit not completely until recently) several times over.
What's frightening is that the religious leaders are counting on this short term memory
in order to seize control once again.
"But that was then and this is now and that would never happen again......right?"

What strange if you hear a minister in church he is telling the congregation "The bible is the virtual word of god"
Then after the service if you get in a debate with him he will point out that you can't take the scripture litarly thats just a parable or thats the old testament you must follow jesus's teachings.And in a couple of weeks later you read he was caught with a prostitute in a hotel room.

I was a teacher of Spanish Literature until 6/28. Needless to say in order to teach Lit. you must visit History...Well, colleague, the least I did was to care about PC....I forced my students to question everything and more, to research all possible ways, to ignore political correctness and to present their ideas in any way they wanted as long as they were respectful of e/o.

Any population that is willing to accept faith as a valid form of evidence can be convinced of anything. No religion is worse than any other. The real culprit is poverty and those who would use the tool of religion in what ever form, to convince those in despair that someone else is to blame.
If Christianity has the illusion of being more peaceful, it is only because relatively wealthy people don't strap bombs to their chest. They don't feel the compelling need to.

I disagree with you while both religiobs worship a higher being or entity. Niether religion will say god and allah are one on the same if that is the case there would be less of a reason for a holy war. And christinanty is only big cause of the many different sects that call themselves christians. It like saying pitbulls account for all the dogs that attck humans when that is not true so let get facts straight so there are some similarities but not enough facts the make a bold statemeny that parrellel each other.
