Do you honestly mean to tell me that you believe there is no difference between the Triune Godhead of Christianity and Allah of Islam?
Worshipping is not about observing ethical behavior or determing the 'purity' (as you define it) of texts. Worship is about discovering Truth and standing in its light and fire.
Decide where Truth is first. The rest will then come.
isn't truth a subjective term? Exactly. The Truth isn't a subjective term. But opinions are! you may be right. Truth itself is indeed objective. Opinions however as to what that objective truth is, are subjective. Which means anyone could be right. And anyone could be wrong.

Is it true the Earth has a moon? Does this change if someone says it does not? Or that it's not really a moon? Or if you cannot see the moon it doesn't exist? No, there is still a moon. Amongst all the opinions and rational understandings of the universe, there is one TRUTH. One real thing. Their either is a God, or many, or none. There is either morality or their is none. There is either a pepperoni pizza, or their is none. Can that Truth be known? Christians would say yes. There is One God. There is an absolute morality. Under this lense then everything can be viewed. For example, witchcraft: Is it demonic? Ask a wiccan and they'll say no. It's nature, and spirits, and orgies (  ). BUT if there is ONE Truth, and that Truth is Christianity, then it is not real. Their magick, spirits, and immorality are infact demonic seductions. So, which lens do you use? Or do you prefer not to offend....

Muslim say the moon was split in half with the miracle Mohammad performed ? Is that possible ? http://alisina.org/blog/2010/11/30/moon-split-or-islamic-hoax/This would of been recorded in history for such a phenomenon to happen i:e the earth would of lost its axis tilt and the waters would of flooded some parts of the world then others. They Claim that the Quran is a scientific book also. What are all your thoughts on this?

The article doesn't say exactly why or how Muslims came to believe in this claim, which would be analogous perhaps to small 't' tradition, not big 'T' Tradition. The Qur'an is a scientific book, to the extent that it explains the ultimate origin of the cosmos (the origin being God, of course).

I suppose it's a question of ecclesiology: do you believe that the Church (whatever flaws she might have) is theanthropic, or no? If she is theanthropic, then she is a truth-telling thing (Chesterton).

You have to realize that Muslims didn't forcibly convert as many people as you would like. Christianity was way more effective at spreading with the sword than Islam ever was.
Bull. Being fair, they did pretty much convert all of western Europe--along with South and Central America--through violence. That's one and a half continents that were converted through force. Islam converted almost the entire Middle East--which is a part of Asia--and about all of Africa. That's like one and a half continents too. They seem about equal in regards to bloodshed and violence.

Well, 'Christianity' is different from 'the Church'.  Depends on what you consider Christianity. If you think anything that calls itself Christian is part of Christianity, then yes. If you think there is only one Christianity and the rest is heresy... then no.

what defines truth?
Its the opposite of a fictional lie. For example, science has a "criteria" of things that determine the truth.

What's with people only converting to the Abrahamic religions? Why not the cool, developed intelligent eastern religions like Buddhism? A religion that isn't outdated...
Buddhism is 500 years older than Christianity so how would it not be 'outdated' (assuming religions have sell by dates) first? Besides, the core of Buddhism, which is living a wholesome life and avoiding doing things which cause painful/unwholesome/destructive reactions is practicable by anyone of any religion.

If you give up pride of place for yourself to God, you will find your soul and eternity.. if you insist on putting yourself before God you will loose yourself eternally.
