So you too are saying that Christianity and Islam are the same because they are both religions? You're saying that they both must be equivalent because they offer an externally defined objective moral code? And if that isn't it... maybe you could elaborate for me on what way they are similar to you?
I think I've been pretty clear about my view on the whole thing and I don't think either of your arguments negates it.
No, I am saying that they are both religions, both believe in a God and both try to conform to his will. Just what God wants is different in Islam from in Christianity, as it's different in Judaism. There may be more overlap between the three religions than you're apparently willing to concede, but they aren't identical.
I'm not saying all religions are the same. I'm just saying that this whole "winners vs. losers" thing doesn't have much appeal for me, and that plenty of religious people would probably feel the same way.
The thing is, though, that religions, especially Western monotheistic religions, don't focus on getting what you want but on conforming to some divine will. I don't think you can write a sentence like this unless you completely misunderstand the role of religion in a society. No disrespect intended, but maybe you had better go read up a bit before you try to carry this argument any further.
