It is the very nature of the characters represented that make them so diverse. Of course, the faith in a God will reflect in one\u2019s behavior. If I worshiped a deceptive god as Allah is, every contract, truce, and promise made would be broken without any remorse. The history of Islam proves this. But faith in an infinitely holy God of truth will reflect in my actions as to make a man of honesty and integrity. Even nominal Christians can have such morals. But a Muslim who does would essentially be a hypocrite and apostate deserving of death according to his own religion. How one could trust this Allah for eternal life is beyond logic. Christ invites everyone to \u201cCome unto me, all <em>ye<\/em> that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke <em>is<\/em> easy, and my burden is light.\u201d (Matthew 11:28-30) To know the only true living God and how you can receive eternal life from Him, read &#8220;The Gospel&#8221; at <a
