Q: You dont like Christianity? Why?
A: If you would even read the bible (I never have so idk) you would see that it is obviosly all lies. I would recommend you pick up a Qur'an and read that, you can find it in the nonfiction section at your local library OR you can get one for free here:

First Islam takes over the Middle East via the Arab Spring, and now Blockland? If you're going to promote this sick religion and discredit the Bible (especially without any real factual information), then I will raise issue with it. Ironically the Quran is just a rip-off of the Bible and is full of errors, which is obvious if you actually study it's origin ("
Are there errors in the Qur'an?"
http://www.gotquestions.org/errors-Quran.html and "
Ravi Zacharias: Why the Bible and not the Quran?"
http://www.bible-quran.com/Ravi-Zacharias-bible-quran/).
Also, the Bible predicted the revival of Israel (becoming a state in one day - May 14, 1948 - after the Jews were scattered from their homeland, which was an absolute miracle), fertility of the land of Israel (which used to be a barren wasteland prior), etc.:
"Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the Earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children." (Isaiah 66:8)
"He will set up a banner for the nations, and will assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the Earth." (Isaiah 11:12)
"Thus says the Lord God: 'Surely I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, wherever they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own Land." (Ezekiel 37:21)
"The desert and the parched land will be glad; the wilderness will rejoice and blossom.
Like the crocus, it will burst into bloom; it will rejoice greatly and shout for joy." (Isaiah 35:1-2)
By the way, the book of Isaiah was written
between 701 and 681 B.C., Ezekiel was written
between 593 and 565 B.C.
These prophecies were not fulfilled until just recently; what has the quran predicted (that isn't a rip off of Biblical prphecies)? The Bible even predicts what's going to happen in the Middle East very soon, such as the destruction of Damascus, the capital of Syria, and judgment of Syria itself.
This is in the process of being fulfilled now (prophesied in Isaiah 17):
“See, Damascus will no longer be a city but will become a heap of ruins." (Isaiah 17:1)
"Syrian Rebels Battle In Assad’s Damascus Stronghold" (

There are many others, in which I can provide information if you wish.
Other prophecies are even being fulfilled now, i.e. Isaiah 19:2-4 with the Egyptian presidential elections (The Egyptians had plans for a democratic Egypt, and their plans are falling apart now that a radical Islamist is now president):
“I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian brother will fight against brother, neighbor against neighbor, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing; they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the spiritists. I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them,” declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty. (Isaiah 19:2-4)

Also, countless Muslims are fleeing that demonic religion and coming to Christ at an amazing rate because they know Islam has nothing to offer them (

http://www.meforum.org/2646/worldwide-trends-in-honor-killings, etc.
What is salvation according to the quran? The Bible claims that we have all sinned and fallen short of God's glory (Romans 3:23), and since we are wicked by nature (Jeremiah 17:9) we must suffer the consequences - God's infinite wrath, i.e. Hell. But, God is long-suffering towards us and loves us so much that He doesn't want anyone to perish (2 Peter 3:9), and willingly took the punishment that we deserved so that we could be free to live with Him (Romans 5:6). allah, nor any other false god, has shown such love. Hell wasn't made for us, it was made for the devil and his angels (Matthew 25:41). If we refuse to repent, God is just and will send us there (Hebrews 3:18). But, He doesn't delight in the destruction of the wicked (Ezekiel 18:32, Proverbs 24:17). The way to be saved is simple, repent and believe (Mark 1:15, Jeremiah 29:13) - That's it.
I want people to be aware of how dangerous, hypocritical and evil Islam is, and if you are promoting it then you need to be aware too. I am aware that someone will try to make the argument of the hypocrisy of Christianity or of the Old Testament, and I am willing to answer such questions.
"For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!" (Ezekiel 18:32)
"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God." (Hebrews 10:26-27)
