OK. Here are my comments.
The defense of Christianity differs from that other faiths because
it is not based in subjectivity (e.g.- feelings, meditations). It is based
in objectivity (e.g.- history, archeology).
As to the differences, they are not subtle and they are
multitudinous. E.g.- reincarnation, salvation by works, the existence of
hell.
My central worry is that people often base their faith on less than
the whole truth. Gene Hartquist hit it right on the head when he said,
"..the historicity of the Bible is important. Faith in and commitment to
Christ are important. And, the role of the Holy Spirit is VERY important in
affecting a belief in Christ."
