Just to clarify Blue, Al Ghazali's "The Incoherence of the Philosopher" was far more nuanced than just smacking down all philosophers. He wrote the book because he was worried about philosophers taking things too far.
Like Ghazali was a strong Muslim and it was his prime objective to use all form of reason to connect back to Islam. What he was worried about was some philosophers wasting their time and energy discussing things hypothetical and philosophical scenarios that served to benefited to society and Islam. Basically, he thought philosophers were diving in so deep that the philosophy no longer had any practical application. He feared questions were being asked just for the sake of discussion instead of furthering religious understating. This is the "incoherence" he refers to in the title.
But a lot of people in the West have misinterpreted Ghazali's wirings are rebuking all of philosophy. This is way too broad of a statement and a notoriously Orientalist viewpoint. Ghazali was not rebuking all of philosophy, he was just criticizing how many philosophers at the time were straying from actually productive philosophy. They were wasting time with impossible hypotheticals instead of tackling issues that human beings as they related to Islam and introspections.
Like philosopher. He 100% understood its uses, which is why he made his critique of how philosophers at his time were straying form the true purpose philosophy should have.
The real one who despised all philosophy and logic though was Ibn Taymiyya who is the prototype of Salafism and Wahhabism (the ideologies producing terrorism).
Anti-philosophical views is rather anathema in Islamic thought (as reason and studying the natural world are heavily promoted by the Qur'an itself). Sunnism and especially Shi'ism have always heavily utilized philosophical study, sometimes their native Islamic philosophy (such as what was actively spoken of and taught by thr Ahl al-Bayt) and other times synthesizing Greek thought (while also being critical of it too) but nonetheless has always held a strong position in the Islamic worldview.

Three videos in three days?! This is great! I have no idea how long Blue can keep this pace up, but I'm just going to enjoy it.

I think hes just covering for Red XD
Right ?!
First, before I say anything else, I want to say that I really, really enjoyed all three of these videos. They were a really nice perspective and, as always, very informative. I can tell the amount of love and work that went into making these, and I really appreciate it! Thank you for making these videos, and I'm going to show them to all my friends.
I remember when I was young, I was sitting in church and the pastor was talking about this woman that Jesus had met at a well. A Samaritan woman, as it were. And she asked him about where the proper place to worship was. She said, and I'm paraphrasing, "Our ancestors worship on this mountain, but the Jews say that we must worship in Jerusalem." The pastor stopped reading and said, "Do you understand what that means? They worship the same God. The Jews and the Samaritans both worship the God of Jacob, the God of Abraham, the very same God. But they were separated over religious and political differences, despite being children of the same Father. Isn't that tragic?"
Edit: I found the passage; it's the Gospel of John, Chapter 4, if anyone was interested.
Fun fact: The Samaritans were 'half breed' Jews- the children of those taken into captivity. They were a mixed people, and were kicked out of the Jewish cities by the religious leaders of the day to retain a pure, chosen people. Makes it even more tragic, huh?
Fun fact : all the abrahamic religions are poorly plagiarized from a dozen older religions, historic events and people. All religions are inventions of fascism for social and economic control of the people.
@@moodist1er First, no, that's demonstrably false, and second, fascism is actually a VERY young form of government while religion is ANCIENT, so how can something as ancient as religion be invented by something as young as fascism?
@@DavidbarZeus1 Because to quote a good friend of mine: "People are STUPID"
@@thethirdsicily4802 people are stupid is the rationale behind fascism making up religion while religion has been demonstrably existant for millenia before the concept of fascism let alone implementation?

Is it finished yet?
@@joelstephenson8017 Who are you and how did you find this comment?
Unfortunately I stopped working on it but I’ve been trying to tell myself to try again. Maybe when I’m done with school.
Blue you little cinnamon roll, I love your perspective on how we could look on the philosophical side of things instead of theological to come to a common ground. Keep it up👍
@Enetheru1999 Nobody is ignoring that the religions are incompatible, but simply pointing out that they do have many similarities, especially in ethics. They can find common ground in the fact that a society that has all of them can still function in peace, even though they disagree. Actually, religions are even closer to each other than political beliefs are, since it's easier to function daily with people that disagree with you about somewhat apstract things (such as creation of the universe) than with people that you disagree with about human rights, distribution of wealth etc.
Just... I wanna say I love your enthusiasm for history, and the respect you have for it, and other cultures. I may seem narcissistic, but it reminds me of myself, and my dad.
Thank you for this. In thousands of years, when our civilization is all but unrecognizable, I hope someone finds this video and makes good use of it. I think there’s something worth listening to.
When Al Ghazalis titled his book “incoherence of the philosopher”, he didn’t take into account centuries later people will judge him purely on the title without reading a single page and having 0 context of the debate around his time.
Idk why but that kinda hurts 😅
Ya hi told us the holes in those philosophers thinking but he bring down hole thinking house of Baghdad
Guys, before this war. I like you. You dont cause unnecessary trouble. Lets be friends. Party at my place.
i actually am a bit late :(
who are you talking to?
Where
You may, or may not believe in God, but we're all children under him. We just have different prophets.
What was I on 2 years ago? It's cringier when you realise I was 19 saying that. Eejit🤣
this is one of my favorite videos i have seen of yours so far. thank you for being accurate as possible, and fair to all of the aspects of this big umbrella topic that i have been a part of most of my life.
you guys are my absolute favorite - I mean it was fate when Red saud her favorite animes were Fullmetal and Inuyasha - but the chosen content is exactly what I think people should know and you guys go a bit deeper into specific Empires events or stories and provide content that is hard to get across in a super quick crash course video. anyway, I like the way you work it (yo diggity)
I always enjoy your take on history, (even the touchy bits that some people get triggered over easily,) and the humor you add make me smile. Not killing each other is good table manners. 😉
A lot of great info! Great use of pictures to help engage and tell a story. Excellent video! Enjoyed 🙌🏻
That was very well thought out and u expressed it magnificently. Far too often we look only at the difference between us and refusing to put in the work to find what we have in common
I don't have anything clever or profound to say. I just love these dang videos, and this video was really well done. Love y'all
I LOVE how well this is made! I especially love his neutral stance where he praises ALL of these religions! There is so much to learn from everyone around us! :)
Akkah akbar for knowledge!

Having a marathon of your videos! whooo! ✨ Great job! We appreciate you! 💞
six plus another thumbs up! excellent series! But now I need to ask, think you'd ever take us for a glance at deeper Sufi/Eastern Orthodox (theosis)/ Jewish Merkabah thought/history? They lean more on Plato then Aristotle but still fascinating!
Ah yes , the old "Al-Ghazali ended everything" myth. thanks Neil Tyson
First of all Al-Ghazali's criticisms were mostly at Noeplatonic metaphysics, not at philoophy as a whole.
Secondly, he was not like the supreme ruler of all Muslims, and there were many significant philosophers after him, like Mulla Sadra
Yeah the sack of Baghdad didn't help it either, however, al-ghazali had a lot of influence so he might not be the only reason but certainly one of them. IIRC ghazali's followers went ahead and were even more radical than he was.
First: wow dude..you must be really fast to upload 3 large topics like these in such few days
Second: the arab side of me is kinda pulling me to hug you now xD your words are of gold. Thank you for your everlasting entertaining yet educational videos *thumbs up*
Zeinab 16 “Your words are of gold” is one of the coolest compliments I’ve ever heard. Is it a quote, or something that you came up with?
@@MeshakhadI come from 4 years… my words you’ll probably not read but I’ll just explain it… they translated the Arabic كلامك ذهب to “words of gold”
I tried posting some of your videos to groups I'd think would value the subject matter, but I got a complaint that you don't cite your sources and thus they can't verify the info and by extension don't trust your content. I assume its some college textbooks and secondary supporting history books, but the complaint I received would be forgiven for not thinking "probably some textbook" is a sufficient answer. How do you feel about the necessity of source citation in your videos?
He should just puke all sources in the description without the extra effort to organize it
Citing sources is necessary in academia. It's a way of ensuring that your subject really is dead. It's also mind-numbingly boring. Meh.
@@timflatus Fuck citing your sources, I like to go with the motto "trust me bro". Although, it doesn't help me on my college papers.
these videos rly helped me in my debate on religion in europe course, thanks!
this is such a great channel!
I'm definitely going to be showing this video to my English or History students next time I have the chance. Thank you so much.
i really love the content of this channel it really deserve more attention and views ... keep with the good work (y)
I like the age of empires music in the background there. This was interesting to listen to and informative, thank you.
These videos are very interesting.I really enjoyed them all

Good analysis of how plato and Aristotle impacted all three faiths, but little heavy handed on the “lets all get along.” But really, I cant blame you Blue. I loved the video.

I discovered this channel through a friend and I love it! Everything about it is great.
"They fought. Like, a lot."
Blue over here acting like they stopped at any point...
I really like your channel and your videos and thoroughly enjoy them!!! The part of Al Ghazali stopping the advancement of Muslim thought is an orientalist argument though since intellectuals in the Islamic world continued coming well after his death....
Beautiful commentary!
This is your best video really. I hope we can learn some lessons today.
1:30
Major problem with that: You can say that about any religion.
The fact of the matter is that, in this day and age where most of the United State's population has NOT read from the bible, or any other religious teaching, allowing a lot of people to misquote and sometimes even fabricate what said teachings say.
People love to take quotes from the bible about how horrible Christianity is, but for those who have not read it, that means nothing for today's standards because the same thing could be said for any number of other religious factions which people seemingly refuse to do.
I mean, how many people in this comment section have actually read the bible, or any Muslim teachings? (Don't answer that, we'd be here all day). To me, it doesn't even matter what the bible said because most Christians nowadays don't follow the same religious teachings and the bible has since become one of the go-to guides for "why-you-suck" speeches which acts more as a personal attack rather than a proper argument.
I see it as more important to look at what people are doing NOW rather than what they DID because otherwise we would be judging people for things that are entirely unrelated to them in the present day. We can't do anything about the Crusades and how horrible they were to both parties. We CAN stop terrorist organizations like ISIS, the KKK, and other prejudiced killers who attack people (I would say "based upon the color of their skin" but that is completely irrelevant. People are people, no matter what).
the fast answer is: all religious teachings are hypocritical, because humans are hypocritical beings and religion is a human invention.
@@simon8242 Do it fast or do it right fam, pretending to believe in ideals and values when you don't is hypocritical and fake. Actually believing in those values but admitting that you can fail to live up to them is being human. "Religion is a human invention" is a non-sequitur.
@@sethn1094 Literally your whole comment is a non sequitur. It has nothing to do with my comment.
@@simon8242 I was answering the "hypocrisy" religious people apperently have, and you never mentioned how you reasoned this apperent truth that religion is a human invention, and I'd like to know why with due respect.
People , you can live with a religion without being a monster just as long as you don’t lose sight of the core message of your religion for one out there passage from your sacred text. For example I am a Catholic I try to love my neighbor as my self because of that I don’t hurt gays because it conflicts with the message of Jesus and was probably added there after the fact
I genuinely like how you tackle this issue and the biggest thing of a civil discussion between Christians, Jews and Muslims and getting to heart of what each is. I do have on slight thing to add about what you said of the Christian scholastics saying "heresy!!! God is not a mover He is a trinity!" I believe that to be underselling the magnitude of the theology of God in Christian teaching- correct He is Three- but Three are He. The Mystery of the Holy Trinity is consistent with that of Aristotle's early concept of a great Mover because of the clause that God is the Mover (one) yet is of Three. That would explain why Saint Thomas Aquinas and his contemporaries didn't refute the pagan thinker- but at essence the concept is in line with that of the Faith. A bit rudimentary but in fact, correct. Fun fact: for the Catholic Church, the feast of the Mystery of the Holy Trinity was yesterday.
"Mystery" means "not even known to be true". If the Holy Trinity was a thing it wouldn't be a "mystery".
@@PeterGregoryKelly Pretty sure they're calling it a "mystery" because how an entity can be 1 singular being and also 3 separate and distinct beings at the same time doesn't work in human logic and we have no way of reconciling that with our own experiences. Christians can say thats its true, and believe that its true, but it is impossible to comprehend *how* its true.
@@TheBossSapp If it is impossible to comprehend how it is true then you do not really know if it is true.
If God behaves in ways consistent with the nature claimed for him, like the beautiful flowers and butterfly than of course that is what you expect from God. If you're talking about the bot fly larvae which burrows into the eye and through to the brain of a young child, or the typhoon which kills 3,000 people, then you roll out the "mystery of God". You glorify the good and mystify the evil so that what is observed in the world does not falsify the essential "goodness" of God.
@@PeterGregoryKelly Why do Christians portray God as human when he does not resemble humans and his form is unknown
Great videos. I really respect this channel.
I love his voice so much... Its so soothing and refined.
This is an old video, but I love the notion of cultural dialogue and the benefit of cross-cultural discussion. I am an atheist but I can't deny the huge weight of thought that went into this era and anyone that wants to champion it.
It is SO interesting that 3 religions that definitely didn't like pagans, based their philosophy on pagan philosophers.
Islam didn't taken there philosophy from prgans
@@saaem6900It is indirectly taken since all 3 developed parallel to each other.
Fascinating and fun! I think your message here is nice.
Those 3 videos were incredible!
Love your videos and love the message. I really do, but looking at the similarities you see that they are VERY surface level. Not that I think its impossible for the three to live in peace. But there are large differences, thats all I'm saying
Not that much diffrence but more so history. Christans wont forgive Muslims nor Muslims will forgive Christans.
Much like how diffrent sects of a religon don't get along so well.
I just want to say THANK YOU! Thank you so much for treating the Abrahamic religions with respect. I avoided watching this and your other videos on religion and the Crusades because I've run into *way* too much hate aimed at religion in general and Christianity in particular. College was not a fun time for me.
Thank you, thank you, *thank you!* You *get it!* Faith and reason aren't diametrically opposed! Philosophy and science arose from religious thinkers. Yes, the crusades were a mess, putting it mildly. An occasionally well-intentioned mess, but still a *mess.* The Catholic Church may be founded and upheld by God, but it's still made up of humans. Messing up is what we do. Thank you for understanding that last part, even if you don't believe the first.
All Abrahamic religions suck
@@human3213 And there's the hate. At least it's two years after the fact.
@@brigidtheirish as a muslim, i respect you and this video is actually criminally well made and well analyzed.
@@alifimran9049 Thank you for the respect, and same. I think most of us try our best to find the truth and live by it.
@The Caliphate What, Catholics have to be extra careful not to be jerks? Sorry, but jerk behavior isn't restricted to any one denomination or even one religion. We're also not the ones who've been protesting LGBT events with signs reading "God Hates You."
That was a damn good video. Thanks for that.
Took me a while to get into this one, not sure if it's because I'm used to the fast talking style of red and came into this expecting the same, or just have just been over saturated with the over abundance of philosophical history videos on UA-cam... Either way good vid. Just feels like something's missing.

This channel is pure gold. 'Nuf said.
You just did a better job of explaining this
than an entire semester of a course in this exact subject did...
Though to be fair to my professor, he was very fond of chasing the philosophy and language bunnies...I learned a lot, just not about THIS.
As a small personal observation - I find a great deal of the conflict between Christians - er, Protestants that is - seems to spring from the pervading urge to "witness to" the non-believers. I don't know enough general "church" history to say if proselytizing was ALWAYS a big deal, but for the Methodist and Baptist sects of Protestantism, it's very nearly more central to their daily faith than the deity. I'm not trying to blast them, nor to hold them up as a good example, here: just relating what I've seen over and over (and over) through my forty-ish years of life. Folks are fine discussing the broad strokes, they get tense when the talk edges into theology as you said...but get into any kind of "this is how I personally interact with the ideas of my faith" and wham, respect goes out the window in the most alarming manner...
And may I say, many months late - it makes me really happy to once again see the smartest people I've encountered in the world saying this kind of thing. Reason and compassion HAVE to win...eventually. Right?
10:20
A Fantastical start it would be.
If only we can be less like ourselves and more like we should be..
While I'm no longer religous, I very much appreciate these videos for showing me the historical context for said religion. I won't lie, Christianity is a bear when the priests and deacons won't explain it in context with the actual history behind the stories.
This has been the most interesting series yet
Great video!
Yep as in Quran said "Your religion are yours, and my religion is mine". That's it. No need to point fingers to someone that you claim is wrong.
*Just duel him with his idea with philosophy writing*
It's sad that most Muslims today don't understand what Islam is about. The book itself tells you to be neutral about everyone regardless of whatever their nature is or what they are interested in (as long as they're reasonable anyway)
Yet you still have people who ab*se, sometimes murder people who aren't religious. I'm Muslim, and I'm extremely ashamed.
Your summaries on these topics (these 5+ videos), I thought, were well thought out, and well represented (and your videos are always on point too).
As a Christian who thinks outside the box/doesn't prescribe to what the norm teaches, I thank you for representing it, and the histories, fairly.
Well done, as always!
I like this and find it a fascinating video, though I'm not sure how useful it is to attempt to find common ground in the philosophies of different religions as a route to peace, because I think it's reversing the order of operations somewhat. Interfaith cooperation & acceptance should be the starting point, whether or not the religious worldviews can cohere. Afterwards, if you wanna talk philosophy, that's fun and often a worthwhile pursuit, but I don't think you can _get_ to peace that way -- what happens if the views do turn out to be too disparate?
Also, a minor quibble: Passover is only a single weeklong thing, not a multi-week fast.
Groupthink, I learned about that in my psychology class! I'm just happy to hear smthg I'm learning in use :)
It honestly makes me sad that three religions that came from the same person pray to the same god have the same fundamental basis of life hate each other to the point they are ready to kill each other whenever they have the. As part of one of these religions (Islam) it makes me sad , disappointed and honestly angry on all the mistakes that have been made by my community and I pray for people who lost their lives fight wars for fools and the people who lost their lives and loved ones because of those fools. Who couldn’t see the beauty these three religions have they are like a brother hood. I want this generation to find common ground and improve. Get rid of all this hatred. I with all my heart apologize to people who have lost their lives to the atrocities of ISIS taliban and alqueda I ask you all to think of them as People with no god no faith and no moral restrictions and not as Muslim.
7:21 St Thomas Aquinas indeed respected Maimonides and Averroes for competence, but he was against some of their ideas : both were "liberal theologians" - he, like Bishop Tempier, was not (though, Stephen II Tempier of Paris did suspect him of it, at times, one can imagine, since he was so into Aristotle).
Who exactly are you quoting when you say "liberal theologians", because I'm pretty sure it isn't Aquinas.
@@garrusn7702 No, St. Thomas Aquinas was not a liberal theologian, but Averroes and Maimonides, by contrast, were.

Is your question answered now?
@@hglundahl How could they be "liberal theologians" when liberalism wouldn't exist for hundreds of years?
7:58 Yes, large parts of Aristotle were believed by Averroes, and gently, respectfully, corrected by Aquinas "you know, he was a Pagan and didn't know better".
Can you please do Cassandra for miscellaneous myths? I love her story and its pretty cool
I think uniting people through common ground on humanistic philosiphies would do the world SO much good in today's day and age! But that also doesn't mean we shouldn't critique religious doctrine and the uses by those who practice it, either. (Not that Blue was suggestion we shouldn't, I'm just making the point that "Being nice to good people" and "Criticizing religion" don't have to be mutually exclusive.)
We need more ponies tho.
Hey red can u do some more on Egypt the last one was awesome
Blue can you do the war of the roses I think even red would like it (hopefully)
thank you for trying to bring a little bit of peace and commonsense to the world we shouldn't hate or even dislike someone just because of religious defenses we should try to find common ground respect one another and be friends although if everyone actual lived the whole love thy neighbor thing there would be world peace
Awesome video, some corrections though:
- Augustine wasn´t properly "platonic" in the sense he interacted directly with Plato´s works, he didn´t read greek and his access to Platonistic philosophy came from commentators and biased interpretation from the neo-platonic school, greatest amongst these, Plotinus who had a HUGE influence over Augustine. That said, this isn´t to say Augustine was ignorant, he knew by heart many of the religious doctrine and philosophy of his day.
- Also, the idea that philosophy and theology as independent of one another would only begin with Duns Scotus, before that, until and including Thomas Aquinas, Theology had prominence over Philosophy and the latter was seen as an accessory to the first. So you can´t really say there was a "religious philosophy" strictly speaking, only philosophical ideas inspired by religious doctrine and, most of it, subordinate to it.
- Also Thomas Aquinas and most of the scholastics only knew Aristotle either by commentaries or rough translations of the originals to Latin, and translations of philosophical works are, at best, (very) well-informed guesswork, since the comprehension of many concepts (and hence their translation) depend on understanding the many layers of meaning of words in the original works, greek especially is extremely polysemic, that is, words can have a multitude of meanings that are to be understood through context. This means many of Thomas Aquinas ideas, as much of an incredible genius as he was (and boy, he was), was written from incomplete information of the Aristotelian Corpus.
"[Prophet], have you considered the person who denies the Judgement?
It is he who pushes aside the orphan
And does not urge others to feed the needy
So woe to those who pray
But are heedless of their prayer
Those who are all show
And forbid common kindnesses"
Quran chapter 107 verse 1-7
The children of Abraham are nothing but bros. It's some of the fucktards among us who fuck things up and spoil it for everybody. I'm a muslim cause muhammad said to worship no one other than the One who created existence itself, I am a christian because i'm certainly a follower of christ who said "Do not let your hearts be troubled, Trust in God; trust also in me" and I am a jew because moses said "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might."
Maybe i should fight myself.
Replace "God" with "yourself" in your own text and go party with yourself.
You banned adoption
abrahamic religions are obvi invented by man, never trust them. NImrod was right
. you are technichly correct as god never created religion

GeN0SiDe Nega I get the impression that you don't understand the two distinct meanings of "rhetorical".
This video touched my soul :')
Wow! It would be much helpful if you cited your sources, I would love to read those.
Nonetheless, Kudos!
You're right. All of us followers of the Abraham faiths must get along, SO THAT WE CAN ANNIHILATE THOSE WHO FOLLOW THE DHARMIC RELIGIONS! ALLAH VAULT! YAHWEH VAULT! DEUS VAULT!
Respectful Iconoclast Buddhist brothers unite! We shall teach those Monotheists respect!
Why don't we follow in Al-Farabi's footsteps and maybe try to reconcile Abrahamic and Dharmic philosophies? I'd be up for that :)

PAGANS. We shall unite and fight against the pagans and polytheists hindus and buddhism/eastern chinese paganism.
I think it's written "vult"
Also, Join me Atheist brothers and sisters, let us show them the light of reason!
Now Christian theologians and philosophers either become mad men from either seeing too much or understand too much or something more horrifyingly indescribable
Or they went full "fuck it, let's do apologetic"
Lovely. Thank you.
The ending of this one brought a tear to my eye :')
I think it's time to make videos on the Islamic Golden Age (instead of it being relegated synoptic references within videos of tangential thematology) and also the Mongols.
And, of course, Aristotle.
I would like to cast 6 votes for the Mongols.
Elouj Time Reaver ill cast a few votes for videos on the Mongols. I'd love to learn more about them.
No one conquers Russia unless u are.....the Mongols.
at the end of the day it's not about religion it's about resources.
True
Hi there, I have a constructive suggestion for your videos. If you want to show text in the videos this needs to either match the spoken dialog of the narrator or simply be reserved for use in videos with no vocal narration at all. If you throw a load of text up on screen while saying something completely different over the top then it just ends up with people not being able to properly follow either element.
Hey, Blue! Will you please do a History Summarized of The Red Summer of 1919?
Hey, Red! Will you do a Classics Summarized of Frankenstein?
Brace yourself everyone, an shitstorm(flame war) will an appear here.
Still bracing oooor?
Nah, we're good.
The most thin that devides the 3 abrahamic is jesus
Judaism : they completely reject him
Christianity : he is the Messiah and the son of god and God ( don't ask me how it works ) , and that he was crucified .
Islam : he is the Messiah and messenger of God , not god or son of God , he wasn't crucified or killed because in Islam they don't believe that God dies or in the original sin .
Why wouldn't he be crucified though if they don't believe he's God? I don't understand that.
@@DsgSleazy we believe he was saved by the mercy of God and his prayers were answered. And Judas was given the image of jesus and was crucified in his place. Jesus the son of mary will then return to kill the anti christ on Gods orders
@@abdirahmanidris290 I find it so interesting how our two faiths are directly related but interpreted differently, God/Allah's word is great🙌🏿.

I question whether the three religions follow the same God. Muslims say that Jesus was a prophet and not God, and Christians claim Jesus is the Messiah, and therefore God, and Jews are still waiting for the Messiah, thus invalidating Jesus as God, and turning him into a heretic, and not a prophet as the Muslims would say. Also, Allah telling Muslims to slay the infidels is contrary to Jesus' teaching of love your enemy. So while yes, they do share similar roots, the three are fundementally different. Judaism is waiting and laws, Christianity is loving, and Islam literally translates to submission. And yes, there are exceptions, but in their most basic form, waiting, loving, or submission are the primary differences in spirit of the three religions.
Judaism: Law and Order
Christianity: Love and Peace
Islam: War and Submission
Except, you know, that's not the case. Those acts were done in self defense and the Koran says that Allah doesn't tolerate aggressors and that you should shelter non-Muslims and see them to safety.
hiimme101 based on that I'd say christianity is the outlier since god is incredibly violent in the old testament ordering the complete destruction of cities and their peoples without mercy.
Islam means submission to god, and can you please show me where it says slay the infidels, ive seen worst in the bible.
Reg Eric if we gotta be honest, all religious texts spout violence on one end and peace and love on the other. I’ve seen things just as bad in the Bible as I’ve seen in the Quran, all with God destroying whole civilizations and allowing what basically is a genocide of the Phillistines. At the end of the day, these were books made thousands of years ago in a time wholly different than our own so what you got to do is adapt your faith with the times you live in. If I lived off the Testament like one who lived when it was written, I’d probably not bat an eye at massacres against the infidels and sacrifice them because it’s gods will :)
Preaching to the choir, blue ;)
We're all interested in philosophy and history and tend to be pretty open minded.
However, I disagree on the assumption that all three religions 'basically worship the same God and should thus get along' because I think the image the three religions have of their deity is radically different.
Same God, it's just that one is looking at the kneecaps, another the nasal hairs and the other is considering the ear-wax.
Reminds me of _The Adventures of Hucleberry Finn_ where Miss Watson and widow Douglas both tell the title character about Providence. As it turns out, the two interpretations differ to the point that he "could see that there was two Providences".
"... and a poor chap would stand considerable show with the widow's Providence, but if Miss Watson's got him there warn't no help for him any more."
I think there is some degree of similarity between Jewish and Muslim perception of God.
So important!!!! Everyone love each other. Protect life on this planet
I fell like a moon pie is what I need after writing out a entire essay about toxic religious folk at 4am and I think that we can all agree try hat moon cakes are pretty good
