They may worship the one and only God if there is such as God, but their Pagans, Buddhists and Humanists don’t have a holy book and Confucianism is a philosophical concept, not a religion.
The Hindu scriptures (the Vedas, visions or knowings) are the oldest scriptures on earth, and they reveal one God who appears to men in many forms (modalism). The Mormons have their own scriptures, and so did many of the various Christian offshoots, such as the Gnostics, etc.
The Christians themselves have a variety of "canons", mutually exclusive, ever since Christians scriptures began to appear.
God has made you the custodian of your life.
How do you know that?
The Bible says you should not love the world.
I know that it can be very confusing and I don’t deny that Christians do sometimes disagree (and worse) with each other, in ways that are not very honouring to their calling
V, I came to this forum 11 years ago as a practicing Eastern Orthodox Christian and I became an agnostic on this forum after seeing the hate, discontent and thousands of "official truths" from Christians practicing anything but love and charity. The vile hateful post directed form one group of Christians to another is a plenty on any given day.
And they have no problems then praying to their God who says "love your neighbor as yourself." Hypoctites.
But such disagreements are found in other fields of life as well.
It doesn't matter; it's apples and oranges. Christians are under commandment to love their enemies, turn the other cheek, and love their neighbor as themselves. But, hey, Paul comes along and says all you need is faith, faith makes you "just' in God;s eyes, and nothing you do will change that. So, go for it, lambaste Armenians if you are a Calvinist, call those who doubt names, spout anti-Catholic venom, call anyone who doesn't belong to your church a "heretic", and so on and so on. Disingenuous.
You can' preach love and practice hate and expect others to see the good in you.
Well, if not you, who else?
The Bible says you should not love the world.
It does, but I don't understand how that connects to your argument...

Surely that kind of means they are bad at being Christians rather than that Christianity is wrong...
