@xankarn I'm a Muslim--albeit one who began his study of theology as a Catholic. I'm also scientist. One of the things I've always tried to do in my social media presence is to speak across these traditions to highlight their synergy; to illustrate what the Parliament of the World's Religions found back in 1991: that humans innately recognize and agree on about 85% of what constitutes moral truth.

There is a creative force in the universe. I call it God; maybe you call it Physics, but we agree that it is there. There is evil in the world that takes delight in destruction of beauty and in the pain of others, and tries to lure us toward the way of selfishness that creates those outcomes. I call it the devil; Ash-Shaytan; maybe you call it human nature, but we agree that it is there.

And it's only the latter that wins when we get all argumentative about what to call them & how to follow the former, and start fighting EACH OTHER rather than uniting against the latter. If there's a God to CARE ABOUT IT at all, He's made it plain that He alone can judge with full justice whether each one of us "did it right" -- and only after we've breathed our last.

"To thee We sent the Scripture in truth, confirming the scripture that came before it, and guarding it in safety: so judge between them by what Allah hath revealed, and follow not their vain desires, diverging from the Truth that hath come to thee. To each among you have we prescribed a law and an open way. If Allah had so willed, He would have made you a single people, but (His plan is) to test you in what He hath given you: so strive as in a race in all virtues. The goal of you all is to Allah; it is He that will show you the truth of the matters in which ye dispute;" (Qur'an 5:48)
