But there is only one of you. One is quite enough. And I, with my mistaken beliefs, and your friend, with his more accurate beliefs, respect the one narses.
There are very grave disagreements between the Catholic Church and Islam, in dogma and in the accompanying philosophies and moral codes. They are mistaken about God in important ways.
But they believe God is the creator, that he had a special relationship with Abraham, and that he will judge us all at the end of the world. We also believe that God is merciful and compassionate, though we obviously have very different ideas about what that means "on the ground."
There are not two gods who created all things, who loved Abraham, and who will judge at the end of time.
So Christians are, within the framework of this analogy, like God's best friend, while the Muslims are are ignorant and mistaken about him on many things.
The narses in my mind is not narses. The God in my mind is not God.
It does not seem hard to me to say that Christians and Muslims adore (pray to) the same God, but, wow, are they wrong about him!
Never before have I been used to analogize God. An interesting experience. Thank you. I think.
