    Ok guys, first of all to introduce myself i'm a guy that randomly came upon this website..I'm a doing a research about different religions..for I am interested. I'll be glad to take some info. As I have read some other topics on this general discussions page and I think there's a quite good community here.

    I'v read the terms and conditions. And I would to inform you guys that I'm not WITH ANY OF THE FOLLOWING SIDES. I'M JUST A RESEARCHER LOOKING FOR INFO. So if everyone could keep it clean i'd be glad and thankful.

    Ok, so guys i'v been through a lot of religion books. But I manly found out that the most interesting and linked books were the bible and the quraan. I'm not a believer of any.

    So to get to the point, i'v came upon this video on youtube that i'd like to share with you guys.

    To make it clear, the video is about an american muslim who calls in a Christian radio or chat line called "the jesus chat line" and they have a really interesting debate. --> Link <-- *Note: I would like you to watch all of the video before commenting.

    I was really amazed by this video. I'd like to see your thoughts of this.. Please leave a comment,and thank you. If this turns to a debate then please keep it clean. Or I will ask for this topic to be deleted personally. But the thing is i'm not a believer of any of those sides and I just need to know more about these 2 religions..And i'd like to see believers of each side debating, WITH COMPLETE RESPECT.

    The glasses guy in this video doesn't know what he's talking about, and the other guy is just trolling. Why are you using this video in your research again?

    @Latios master Well according to this video Islam shows its priority over Christianity..But I still don't know (because I ain't a Muslim nor a Christian) if the guys on the chat line even know their religion correctly. So I wanted to get answers to these question by other believers of the bible to see if the Christian religion really goes in that or to check what the Christians reaction to this would be for some info. on my research. And I still didn't get explanation nor full thoughts. Like if you think the guy with glasses doesn't know what he's talking about, could you answer some of those questions for me, i'm really interested..

    Alright, my explanation of this video is that some (bored) guy decided to call into a christian talk show hosted by an incompetent dunce who doesn't know the first thing about the religion that he is (supposedly) advocating. Both parties come off as arrogant and annoying, and I don't know how I stomached the entire 14 minutes because they are both so insufferable. The host of the show is a bumbling fool that has no idea what he is talking about and the caller makes the mistake of trying to argue religious priority by appealing to logic, which doesn't make sense, since the foundation of most major religions (Christianity especially) is that of faith, not logic or reason.

    To be honest the only reason I watched the video and am keeping an eye on this thread is because we have had flame wars break out in the past over religious stuff, and I couldn't tell if you're actually looking for intelligent feedback or just wanting to run a social experiment in which everyone gets mad and yells at each other using large capital letters over the internet.

    Anyways, tl;dr- I thought the video was dumb, but I wish you the best in your research.

    Edit: I don't remember the specific things the glasses dude messed up, but he pretty much got everything wrong all the time. And the caller got the stuff about the New Testament scriptures not being written by disciples wrong. IIRC, Christian Canon says that the "John" they were talking about was probably the Apostle John, who was a disciple of Jesus and also wrote the Book of John as well as Revelation. Not trying to be patronizing or anything, but wikipedia would probably help you out a lot better than I could on this kind of stuff: Link
