The task at hand is quite impossible, especially in a ten-page
             paper. I am about to compare two entire religions, that is two
             entire belief systems that certain individuals have devoted
             their entire lives towards; that generations have sought to
             follow, further, and protect with their lives. I will attempt
             to do this, but please bear in mind that my personal views

             to taking sides. I believe in fact that these two systems are
             poles apart and have very few similarities indeed. In this
             sense I am forced to conclude that they are hugely
             incompatible and that very few people will be able to accept

             person then the one who is attracted to and is happy with
             Christianity. Let us begin with the obvious and proceed from
             there. While both of these religious systems reject the
