I'm an atheist - but I do find religious discussions to be interesting.
Since it informs so much of culture and history - plus there is something exciting about people coming to the opposite and contradictory explanations when trying to answer the biggest questions of all.
Anyway - I just stumbled across this fun 9 minute long clip. It is a Muslim scholar answering a question from a Christian about the divinity of Jesus.
Christians say Jesus was the son of God - Muslims say he was just an ordinary human being (who happened also to be a messenger of God).
Anyway - it is a fun watch. I can't believe how knowledgeable these Muslim scholars are - he seems to have memorized the old testament, the new testament and the koran.
And he gives such a convincing answer - that the Christian guy ends up converting to Islam (as shown at the end of the video).
It could be a set up - but it seems convincing.
Either way - it is interesting hear an expert Muslim scholar speak in such a knowledgeable way about such a contentious issue. I love nothing more than seeing smart people speak off the top of their head in this way. It is the highest form of intellectual combat.

PS Not wanting to start a flame war here. And besides I don't think there will be many Muslims on this forum to get involved in one. I just have an odd taste in entertainment that I feel like sharing from time to time.
