Be careful you don’t lose your balance from all that backpedaling
FMF: Start a thread about it. There is no religion that I seek to suggest is "true", but there may be people here who want to discuss it with you.I was replying to the poster who posted this: "If you have evidence to suggest that Christianity is false and that another religion is true feel free to present it."

What was the point of your hypothetical then? 🙄

Too bad it missed the mark by a country mile

It's a pity you have no real substance to offer to the OP apart from a silly hypothetical.

Christianity is unique in that its foundational text is not shared by another religion, no other religion believes Jesus Christ was/is God in the flesh and no other religion believes in salvation by faith alone and not works. There are probably many other unique characteristics of Christianity.
