FWIW, the form of Judaism I was raised in entails the assertion that Jesus Christ was not the Messiah, so is logically incompatible with most forms of Christianity.

That aside, though, I'm content to restrict our discussion to non-sectarian claims; thanks for clarifying that. I've tried to formalize this a little more in a different thread; probably best to let this thread drop here.

Judaism

You're right, silly me, I honestly should have remembered that. Judaism seems less...open...in that way. But I still think that details of the nature of God aside, the general message of each of these religions, namely "la ilaha ila allah," is the same. ("There is no God but God," that is. It's much more elegant in Arabic.)

This whole mess is certainly in need of some threads being dropped or relocated. Good idea—where is it?
