Jul 24, 2016 at 18:25 comment added SaganRitual The first giant split in Christianity was over intellectual matters. Islam's was a much more practical matter. In Christianity, what you do is a sign of your salvation, but not the means of salvation. Christians can be bad and still be saved. My (limited) understanding of Islam is that you must be good. So Christians don't have to be as pragmatic? But I've barely even scratched the surface of Islam, so perhaps I'm totally missing something huge. And maybe this is all painfully obvious to everyone and/or not useful in any way. Just some thoughts.
Jul 24, 2016 at 18:24 comment added SaganRitual I've been re-reading and re-thinking your answer ever since you posted it. I've wondered what makes christianity.SE different. I think it has something to do with the approach to doctrine. In Christianity, what you believe is more important than anything else. So they spend a lot of time masticating minutia, which attracts people who like to specialize and intellectualize. It seems to me that Islam is not nearly so doctrine-oriented. I see arguments over Abu Bakr and Ali, but none of the doctrinal hair-splitting that causes Christians to burn each other at the stake.
