Well, but I mean, the accusation of being a pagan, you must admit, cuts a bit more deeply than just having a difference of opinion over the nature of God.
Like, in the instances you brought up with Islam and Mormonism, while I may not believe in the particulars of their respective religions, I still believe that they were inspired by God--that doesn't go away, and I don't think that I would ever suggest that they worship a different God. In fact, I've been invited to Mosques and have prayed the Friday Jumu'ah prayers with my friends when I--as a Christian--was part of the Muslim Students Association in high school. I was never told that I couldn't pray with them and the prayers they pray in Jumu'ah aren't heretical for Christians. I may have a difference of opinion, but I would never say that they don't worship the same God as me--that's, like, a next level kind of statement. I mean . . . you can see that, right?
Like if I accused you of being a pagan idolator . . . like, that's a whopping statement to make. Right?
But you have mentioned something interesting, now: That Christians are idolators in part. I . . . really need to think this over and do some reading on this subject.that,
