As an atheist, I
shouldn't know more about religion than religious people. And yet, here we are.
Not only that, but I wasn't born a "vegetarian", and had more time exploring different meats than most people before I settled on vegetarianism. I was born eating pork (Christianity), but then studied beef (Judaism), lamb (Islam), chicken (Hinduism), fish (Taoism), etc. So you see I may even be uniquely qualified to compare, considering many people have not dabbled.
What has struck me is that people seem to think that Christianity and Islam are at odds so very much. From my perspective, they're simply variations on the theme of Abrahamism, but even from the perspective of a Christian, if you line them up side by side, the similarities are staggering. This thread is about studying the similarities from a theological or philosophical standpoint, so as to educate and explore.
Can we get this back on track now, please?
