Victor just called me to tell me about a conversation that he had with one of his Muslim friends. As far as he knows, she's a pretty hardcore about her faith and all that. But apparently, she doesn't mind that her boyfriendish person is a Christian because Muslims and Christians ultimately believe in the same God.

Here's what I think about that. Yes, ultimately both religions do believe in the same God, but they're completely different religions. And if you really think about it, aren't all religions ultimately worshipping the same God? They might not call him or her "God," but most religions have one god that's all powerful, all knowing, the one that creates and distroys. Isn't that what our God is? That doesn't make Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Christianity, Hindu the same things. In fact, there are sects within those religions that argue about different beliefs and rituals, and who's right or wrong.

I think Victor and I came to the conclusion that her point of view is very broad and general, and she probably just wants things to work out with her boyfriend. I dunno...when it comes to religion, there are just way too many things to generalize like that. I mean, Andrew and I have arguements about religion, and he's Catholic and I'm Lutheran! The two closest denominations in Christianity, and we still have differences to talk about. Oh well. I hope everything works out for them...religion or not.
