I attended an interfaith event last Friday & the evangelical pastor lamented to me,"America's lost her way because we've forgotten Jesus."

I responded, "As a Muslim I love Jesus too—but when exactly would you say America 'followed' Jesus? Was it during Native Genocide? Slavery? Jim Crow? Denying women equal rights? While invading Iraq?”

Deafening silence.

If you want to show me your faith, first show me your service to ALL humanity—regardless of faith or no faith. B/c faith w/o works is dead.

You are not wrong, of course, but the problem with all these types of arguments is that all sides based on beliefs of supernatural beings can claim superiority because of their belief that their claims are true and superior to other claims - without having to prove them. At worse case that priest could claim that your god has stood around and allowed evil things to happen too, so who are you to judge other gods other than yours?
