"And there are Muslim fanatics blowing themselves up with suicide vests, does that also make them right? Same stuff, different religion."

That's not even apples and oranges.

It is entirely different to have a reasoning belief based on evidence, and to have an irrational belief system based on dogma.

It is also entirely different to be unwilling to renounce one's faith even in the face of torture and death, compared to attempts to coerce people to adhere to your religious beliefs and kill them and yourself if they refuse.

You are comparing true religion with the antithesis of it. You are comparing God centered faith with Satanism. And yes, Satanic religion comes in many disguises: Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Atheism, AND Christianity (any many others). Just because people call themselves something does not make it so. You can tell who is truly a follower of Jesus because they do what He did.

Matthew 7:21-23

Not every one [who calls Me] Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the will of my Father Who is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in Your name? and in Your name have cast out demons? and in Your name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess to them, I never knew you: depart from me, you who work iniquity.

Sorry, Unlearner, but every religion is convinced that they are the one true religion, and everyone elses religion is the spawn of Satan.

It is not a convincing argument.

Creationism is not a reasoning belief based on evidence, it is indeed an irrational belief system based on dogma.

You have no other evidence besides the bible to back up your beliefs, this is called circular reasoning, and is unacceptable in a scientific context or discussion.

The only evidence there is for creationism is the bible, the bible is correct because it says it is. Sorry, doesn't hold water in an evidence based, scientific context.
