| NolSinkler said: It is because Christianity is the most practiced, most powerful, most financially supported religion in the world. With the dominance of Western society, it is probably the most widely-known religion (as in, people know the most about it). Furthermore, most people on the forums here are from Western countries, where Christianity has historically predominated, has served as the base of much of modern philosophy, and so is prevalent in modern day Western thought. Finally, most other religions are not exclusive in the same way as Christianity. For example, in Islam, what is unforgivable is Shirk - the associating of partners with God (I.E., an active sin), whereas what is unforgivable for the Christian is Blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is interpreted as an active sin by Christians ('an active resistance to the Holy Spirit') but in all seriousness includes such things as not affirming Christian doctrine as true (I.E. not knowing). Because of the exclusive nature of Christianity, which requires its adherents to conform to a certain specified set of thoughts and to affirm them as true (whilst simultaneously denying the validity of any contradicting ideas) many people no doubt feel the need to examine Christianity while not feeling the same way about other religions. |
Love God and Love your fellow man - there's really nothing more to Christianity. So are you saying that this differs from other religions?
