A Simple Idea

[Uberpod]

The Old Testament is Classic Coke, the New Testament is New Coke, and Islam is Pepsi. All inter-religious strife is about brand loyalty - plain and simple.

 

[Uberpod]

But Classic Coke is clearly the best.

Buddhism is water. It won't **** you up.

Lol. Atheism must be an empty can?

 

[Unveiled Artist]

Atheism is a glass of salt. xD

You must know from experience, lol. I threw the can away.

If "brand loyalty" is the only difference between Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, "simple" isn't the word I'd choose to describe this idea.

There's a world of difference between how those religions understand the nature of God, the role and nature of evil, Divine reward and punishment, the nature of man......
It's far more than just picking the one you think tastes best with rum.

You confuse "plain and simple" and "painfully simplistic."

What are you complaining about, he's equating the Jews with the best flavour.

 

[Uberpod]

To Islam's credit, this faith acknowledges Judaism and Christianity as viable soft drinks.

Atheism is the glass. You can chose to put something nutritious in there instead of something both artificial and sickly sweet.

There is no difference between Islam and Christianity. They taste the same to me. Judaism is a little more palatable but it isn't a fruit smoothie by any means.

Each have a very weird after taste.

Satanism is the world's Spiciest Hot Sauce from HELL!!!

Just don't drink the Kool-aid.

If you really think there's no difference between the two, then I'd suggest using your brain for more than silly metaphors.

And that's supposed to mean something?

All three are similarly treated. Moses parted the sea, Mohammed split the moon. Yaweh split himself into three.

To believers. From an outsider's perspectives, their points of commonality usually overshadow the small points of disagreement. So while the points of disagreement are very important to consumers of Judaism, Christianity and Islam, an outsider is fairly comfortable with the description "Abrahamic." Similarly, "cola" can be used for various Pepsi and Coke products.

I think you're using far too broad a brush. In my years here I've conversed with many non-believers, and quite a few of them knew far more about religion than practitioners.

If anyone here, "believer" or not, honestly sees no difference between those three religions, they should indulge in a health dose of research to remedy their ignorance.

Very well said.

This should be in the joke or debate section. Just sayin.

That is little more than sloppy selection bias from someone who is, I suspect, functionally ignorant when it comes to Judaism at least.

Now now, let's play nice here.
