In fact to tell you the truth, the only monotheistic religion on the face of the Earth is Islam.

Yes I agree, mainstream trinitarian Christianity, which means catholicism, orthodox christianity, and most of the protestant churches, are not monotheistic, they are tritheistic or polytheistic. There are only a few isolated denominations, like oneness pentecostal, unitarian, and maybe jehovah's witness which might be considered as monotheistic, but christianity on a whole is not monotheistic.
I have a Jehovahs Witness friend and I learned a lot of their beliefs from her. They dont believe in divinity of Jesus, and a lot of their belief is actually similar to Islam and Sunnis, with Jesus coming back. Of course they believe Jesus died on the cross, but they dont worship him. Also, God isnt a man or look like a man.

Peace to all,
trinitarian christians say they are monotheist, they just say that the trinity concept is still one God, i was taugh this my entire life and it never felt right to me, i would ask about trinity and the priest would say, we believe the father, son and holy spirit are all the same so we are still monotheist, but then he would say, i know its hard to understand but the important thing to do is just believe in it, it was what they called the great mystery, and its better to just believe than try to understand it and question it,
i really cant believe that i used to believe in that,

Great Mystery. No offense, I call it the Great Deception. Reason being is because there have been other polytheistic religion that did the same thing. Basically, its a way of merging a polythiestic belief and make it sound monotheistic.
It goes against the very definition of monotheism. Its ok, I was taught this as well. I never believed it myself, but still, to ascribe to that belief...

This is why christianity is wrong, they claim their doctrines are "mysterious", whereas in Islam whatever Allah has revealed is obviously doubtless and clear. Christians don't understand some of their core beliefs (Because they are illogical and stupid) they resort to such rhetoric "just believe and don't worry".

Be sure not to offend Yusha, not all of what you say can be proven. I do agree that polytheism is a problem in Christianity. What exactly is this list? I didn't know anyone was making a list of monotheistic religions. Though I had an idea about abrahamic monotheism, I call the idea "religious anarchy" where there is absolutely no religious authority whatsoever and belief is based on a personal level. There would be some basic principles (ten commandments maybe?) laid out.

What about Judaism and Sikhism?

I was watching Gods Warriors on CNN and it reminded me of what they say on TV. Always, the "Great Monotheistic Religions", which I have no clue how Christianity fits in it, yet they are the ones that calls us a Pagan religion.

There are many Christians who can and will give you a run for your money, please do not be so hasty. Please explain how their following Taurat with sunnah of Jesus via their four hadeeth books (Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and the Muwatta can be Paul) makes them any worse than you following Quran with sunnah of Muhammad via Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud and Malik.
With reference please.

Calling someone a pagan nowadays seems to be pretty common. With the amount of times its been used its kind of lost its value as an insult. Im probably a pagan to someone else. polythiesm =/= paganism.
