What shall I say unto them?” God responded, “I AM THAT I AM”. God’s answer reveals that we cannot completely describe Him in simple words or phrases.

Is there any difference between a fundamental Christianity and fundamental Islam? Both consist of adherents following the teachings of their respective religions meticulously and carefully.
