If you had to convert...

If only there were some proof of this happening other than imagination and PR, perhaps your claims would be more believable.

 

I am a believer.

 

My claim that it is said? Do you really read any of the comments you respond to?

 

I am religious.

 

No, you're a muslim, not a Christian.

 

I'm not sure I'd call Buddhism a religion. No god, most schools aren't overly dogmatic and most practitioners (excluding the atheists) follow some other, actual religion. Buddhism is "I'm spiritual, not religious'" taken to its logical conclusion.

 

Yes, you are religious, but you're not a believer.

 

Muslims are just anti-Roman Christians. If Muslims aren't Christians, neither are Protestants or Mormons.

 

I disagree that muslims are Christians. Christians believe Jesus is God in the flesh, muslims do not. I agree Mormons aren't Christians. Explain to me how Protestants aren't Christians.

 

But a believer.

Christians are exclusive this way. Muslims consider Christians and Jews believers in a general sense. In an Islamic sense they are not as they don't believe in Muhammad, but they believe in the God of Abraham so they worship the same God, the real God, hence they are believers.

All Christians don't believer Jesus is God.

 

Only that he was the messiah. Being a god isn't a universal belief and wasn't established as official dogma until a few centuries after Christianity became a thing. All Muslims believe he was the messiah and will return to fight the anti-Christ. If Muhammad had been born in Nepali instead of Mecca you wouldn't be disagreeing with me now.

 

You're not a believer of Jesus. If you don't believe Jesus is God, you're not a Christian. Period.

 

I understand it's not a universal belief. There are many that call themselves Christians, but aren't. The New Testament is explicit. Jesus is God. If you don't believe the New Testament, you're not a Christian.

 

How so? What am I denying?

 

The fact that you have no proof, only repeating what you have been told and never questioning it.

 

No proof of what??? What claims have I made that you require proof on?

 

You're not just excluding individuals, but entire nations from Christianity despite them saying they are.

 

The New Testament was written by Roman politicians...

 

Of course they say they are. People lie.

 

Catholicism.

 

My self respect is at stake.

 

Is there a history of atheist martyrs?

 

People love to die for all kids of causes. If they didn't, they would never go off to wars against people they never met.

 

Sure but at least that's a reason. The atheist who dies because he won't recant and convert is literally dying for no reason.

 

You might classify yourself as a believer but what do you believe in? Some people say that they believe in the Jesus character but not one person in human history has ever had any faith in him. Some people claim to believe in Mohammed's fairy tale but they don't follow his teachings because they know that they are silly.
