Christianity is false, but that doesn't mean that all interpretations are equally valid. Christ was more pacifist than secular warrior-king.

Valid according to which metric tho? How do you define validity in this context?

You do realize Christianity can and has been used to justify violence. Ever heard of the Crusades?

Where does Christ call for establishing worldly power or waging war against infidels? Not all religious "founders" preached the same things.

It's quite obvious from that verse that he is talking metaphorically abt families being split between believers & disbelievers, not violence

You've demonstrated that you're not willing to engage seriously on this topic, so I'm not going to discuss this further. Enjoy your day.

How am I not willing to engage seriously? What am I dismissing? I'd be curious as to your thoughts about this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F78zzjX_8eg&t=15m41s …

There's nothing I can add to this convo that I haven't already stated in my report. If you read it carefully it'll answer all your questions

Read it. Excellent. Just questioning the assumption that Abduh's interpretation is as valid as the Wahhabi one re: jihad, apostasy, etc.

That's for Muslims to decide.
