good strategy. semantics.... that'll always fool any supreme being...
BPB had it right earlier. Baha'is believe in the prophetical Jesus and Muhammad, along with Buddha, Moses, and of course, Bahá'u'lláh. Each are accepted as God's messengers and the "oneness of religion" is the basic tenet.
Do you think, maybe, the original poster wants a dollar-each-way on Pascal's Wager?

Why can't cello be just as confused as Jim, (who makes his living pretending to be something that he's not) ?

Quote:Priest goes Muslim, but remains Christian
Episcopalian prays at mosque Fridays, joins in church service Sunday mornings

SEATTLE - A veteran Episcopal priest says she became a Muslim just over a year ago and now worships at a mosque Fridays - but that hasn't stopped her from donning her white collar Sunday mornings.
"I am both Muslim and Christian, just like I'm both an American of African descent and a woman. I'm 100 percent both," Rev. Ann Holmes Redding told the Seattle Times.....................She was ordained an Episcopal priest in 1984 but has always challenged her church, calling Christianity the "world religion of privilege."
She has never believed in the Christian doctrine of original sin, and for years she struggled with the nature of Jesus' divinity, the Times said, concluding Jesus is the son of God insofar as all humans are the children of God, and that Jesus is divine, just as all humans are divine ?- because God dwells in all humans.....................
Basically, she doesn't believe Christian teaching, but was ordained by a liberal denomination which considered it trendy to ordain women who sought the ministry, no matter what they believed.
So, yeah you can call yourself a Muslim and a Christian , but that doesn't make you either one.

$2 on the Christian-Muslim quinella in the final race.
Identifying strongly with a particular religion is a sign of ego. All the religions speak the truth to some degree (when there is real understanding), and it may be appropriate to follow one or the other, depending on your life situation and culture. However, to see fundamental disagreements between the various religions is a result of giving too much importance to the incidental, as opposed to the deeper wisdom contained in the sacred scriptures. Take up real spiritual practice and in time you will experience the Divine directly. I know what I am speaking about. It happened to me, and to many others. God is not just something you read about in a book and think about. God is a direct personal experience. When you experience a profound spiritual transformation, you will find the answers to your questions.

You can have as many religions as you like ! :wink:
Sophists can but not real people.
