You DON'T know who the Islamic God is, DO you? I CHALLENGE you to tell
me just WHO the Islamic God IS (and "Allah" is NOT an acceptable answer)
VIS-A-VIS THE GOD OF THE JEWS AND OF THE CHRISTIANS...in fact, I
challenge you to INTELLIGENTLY discuss ANY tenet of the Islamic faith...
And you DON'T have any PROOF that any other religion attempts to 'prove'
their religion, DO you?
But to answer your question, ANY one seeking to 'prove' ANY religion via
physical means cheapens their religion....the thing is, only pseudo-
Christians who lack faith, will, and intelligence are doing it...and all
your arguments of "well what about other religions doing it?" is
meaningless, SINCE NO OTHER RELIGION DOES!

Because you display total lack of faith, of will, and intelligence by
doing so, since you need cheap trinkets to 'prove' your beliefs...
And if other religions do so, what of it? Why DRAG Christianity down to
that level? Rather, you should be endeavoring to RAISE it, by displaying
a strong faith, a strong will, and a strong intelligence, by not needing
'things of the flesh' to 'prove' to others what SHOULD be an intrinsic
belief and understanding...

I AM a Christian. A TRUE Christian, who unlike you is strong in
her faith, and therefore has no need to drag the religion into the mud
via a sick need to 'prove' anything to anyone regarding her faith...
Just what trinket do you NEED, to 'prove' YOUR faith?
