Christians, such as myself, believe that the main purpose of life on earth is to save the lost (unbelievers), and to glorify God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in everything that we do, which we do with all of our might.

These goals are in SHARP contrast to those (Arabs) who blow themselves and others up just so that they might have a chance at heaven with a bunch of virgins. By the way, the virgins thing is just for the men, as the women are left out in the cold.

Is Satan called prince of heir?

No. Close. "Prince of the Air." This is reference to, many Christians feel, the earth. He has authority on earth for the time being. He is an "heir" only to everlasting doom and despair, as prepared for him, as he has prepared himself for.

Similarities between christianity and hinduism'?

Hinduism is a polytheistic religion. Christianity has one God in the form of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. Both believe that God sends representatives to Earth. Both believe in a supreme God. Both believe that God is present in blessed food. Both have a commandment not to kill. Both believe that loving God is your first duty in life.More Similarities:Both believe that a god exists.They believe that stuff is here for a reason.They believe that science will eventually prove them more correct.They are both religions.Both can believe in god incarnate. (Hinduism is such a diverse religion that making comparisons between it and another religion is really hard as some Hindus believe the exact opposite of what others do.)Both Hindus and Christians believe life is sacred and that material things are not important.They are both religionsDifferences:The Basic Belief in the Vedas The Vedas are the holy books of the Hindu faith. They are accepted as correct. This parallels the Christian belief in the absolute correctness of the BibleThe Existence of an Enduring Soul Both religions accept that there is an enduring portion of the human existence that transcends corporeal existenceReincarnation based on Karmic Burden Hinduism believes in a succession of lives in which the soul learns and progresses towards perfection (See below). Christians believe in one existence as a physical being and a continued post death existence in a Heaven or Hell (See below)Belief in One or More of a Pantheon of Gods Hindus have a pantheon of gods that are never the less ultimately one god. The worshipper can chose one or many of these aspects to worship. Christians believe in a three fold god that is ultimately one God. The rules for which one to worship are confusingGoal of Existence The goal of existence to a Hindu is to escape the ongoing cycle of birth an death and joining into the godhead as a drop of water in an ocean or eternal being in god's presence (it varies with sects). Christians have an after death goal of attaining an eternal reward in Heaven and avoiding eternal punishment in Hell.Although Hinduism is thousands of years older than Christianity, the main similarities between the two religions is that Hinduism was the first of the two to teach about 1) monotheism [belief in one Creator God, called "Vishnu" in Sanskrit] and 2) the Hindu version of what Christians call "The Golden Rule."Although in many respects very different religions, there are a few similarities. Both religions teach that good deeds in this life will pay off in the next. However in Hinduism you are repaid by being reincarnated as something better than you already are, whereas in Christianity you rest in heaven forever.In Christianity, God is a Trinity: The Father, the Son, & the Holy Spirit. In Hinduism, God is a Trimurti: Brahma, Vishnu, & Shiva.
