The mohammedans are also sure of their destiny. You and I may well disagree with them as to their destiny, but their certainty remains.
my experience with Catholicism as a whole
is whatever it is that it is. I cannot change it, nor do I know (beyond your own claims) what it actually is. My experience with Protestantism is so thoroughly and completely negative that in weaker moments, I wonder if it is even appropriate to call Protestantism "Christian" in any meaningful sense of the word.
f you rad my post to MD, you’ll see my comments about Protestants
I did, and I did. I don't often post on these threads any more, but I do read them.
I'd hazard a guess that on an individual level, they're not so sure. Otherwise, why the need for the promise of heaven for those who martyr themselves?
Well actually they're not....they hope the balance of good works will offset their badness....most fear death...but Islam teaches no certainty unless you blow yourself up. You know the rest of that story.
