Question
Aren’t all religions basically the same?
They agree that the world is not as it should be. They disagree, sharply, about the diagnosis and the cure.
Jews and Christians disagree about whether Jesus is the Messiah. That is not a seasoning difference. Buddhists and Christians disagree about the self, desire, and grace. A smorgasbord approach produces a god in your own image, as J.P. Moreland warns, and never requires you to change.

Talking points
- Ask ‘the same in what respect?’ Moral maxims are not the same as claims about Jesus’ empty tomb.
Say this
I can honor a devout Muslim’s sincerity and still say we cannot both be right about Jesus. That is not hate. That is the law of non-contradiction wearing shoes.
“There is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.”
