Yeah, that was just the usual "Jesus was a peaceful bro but Mo was a bad dude" bollocks, Jesus said ""Don't imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword." So they were both a little sword happy, Mo just got more swords on his shit.
As for all that crap about Allah being a moon deity, Yahweh had a wife called Asherah so wasn't any more monotheistic or less pagan than Allah. Anyway I'm saying this to a Catholic, you guys have more weird little gods than the Hindus. You just call them saints.
I'm an atheist. I don't care what imaginary flim flam you bring to the table, it's all the same to me!
The difference is that Jesus was saying that there would be Christians would be persecuted so Christians would have to fight in self defense. Islam preaches offensive warfare which they call jihad. The Apostles were not violent, they travelled throughout the Empire preaching their faith. So since Christianity spread peacefully, how did Christianity gain so many followers in such a short period of time.
And where did you get the bullshit that Yahweh had a wife?
Jihad, Crusade tomato tomato and Yahweh was just another iron-age mountain dwelling godlet who of course had a wife because he was based on human kings, same as Zues and Odin. Tomato, tomato.
They didn’t get nearly as many converts as Christianity did in such a short period of time.
Islam did! Too bad, so sad.
1. It says that Aserah was the wife of the Canaanite god El not Yahweh.
“El, "the kind, the compassionate," "the creator of creatures," was the chief of the Canaanite gods,[31] and he, not Yahweh, was the original "God of Israel"—the word "Israel" is based on the name El rather than Yahweh.[32] He lived in a tent on a mountain from whose base originated all the fresh waters of the world, with the goddess Asherah as his consort.”
As the prophet Jacob lived in Canaan, it is likely that his later name Israel(who the Israelites were descended from) would have a name similar to the name El.
2. As I said, Islam gained converts through jihad, massacres, and forced conversions. How could Christianity gain so many followers if it did not spread by the sword like Islam did?
