re: #350 Cato the Elder

Enough with the squishy Karen-Armstrong all-religions-are-the-same-at-heart PC nonsense.

I think that’s an unfair characterization. There is a lot of serious theological debate about whether the abrahamic religions worship the same god or not. It’s an important question for the catholic religion, for example, and there are people trying to argue that because of this common root, the christian churches should have an ecomenical relationship with islam. The official line is that at the very least, muslims and christians have a special kinship that is closer then the relation either has to wisdom religions or atheists.
Personally, I’ve always thought it doubtful that any two persons worship the same god, and it seems pretty obvious to me that not all Christians do.
