In Islam, Muslims are to help Allah's insecurity by fighting against those that don't believe in him. In Christianity, If someone doesn't accept the message, you move on. It's not YOUR message to begin with.
Koran: Fighting is obligatory for you, much as you dislike it. - Sura 2:216
Bible: If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave. - Matthew 10:14
In Islam, Allah needs the help of Muslims to punish those who offend him. In Christianity, God takes out his own trash.
Koran: Make war on them until idolatry is no more and Allah's religion reigns supreme - Sura 8:39
Bible: Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,"says the Lord. - Romans 12:19
In Islam, Allah encourages all Muslims to pick up their swords and fight for him. In Christianity, Jesus encourages all Christians to lay down their swords and pray for them.
Koran: Allah has purchased of their faithful lives and worldly goods, and in return has promised them the Garden. They will fight for His cause, kill and be killed. - Sura 9:111
Bible: You have heard the law that says, Love your neighbor and hate your enemy. But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you! - Matthew 5:43-44
What separates Christianity from all other religions can be summed up in Kirk's question. In Christianity, God doesn't NEED you or your star-ship. He desires you. He loves you. There is no concept of love in Islam, only fear. In Islam, martyrdom will get you into heaven via the express lane. Allah desires that you "Slay the infidels wherever you find them". Jesus didn't come to slay the world, He came to BE slain. After being spit on, whipped, beaten, and nailed to a cross, Jesus looked up and said, "Father, forgive them." Compare that to the next time you see Muslims making death threats when their God is mocked.
My God isn't codependent, insecure, or nervous about people who don't agree with Him, but Allah seems to be a little sensitive when it comes to unbelieving mortals. When Kirk refuses to bring the star-ship closer, the entity gets visibly upset and attacks Captain Kirk. Suddenly, everyone starts doubting the entity after realizing that this "god" is helpless without them. Yup, that's pretty much how I came to the same conclusion. The god of Sha Ka Ree needs a star-ship, Mohammad needs a sword, the Wizard of Oz needs a curtain, and Jesus wants ME. I'll take the one who wants me over the one who needs me any day.
For God loved the world so much that he gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16
