The name Mohammad is given to sons to show respect

The name Mohammad is given to sons to show respect. Why is the name Jesus not given the same respect?

Many cultures pass on names of those they wish to show respect to. The Muslim community pass on the name Mohamad more than Christians do with the name of Jesus. This name respect is lacking in the Christian cultures.

I think it is due to the fact that none in the Abrahamic cults can justify Yahweh/Jesus’ genocide of mankind.

Yahweh’s son Jesus has not been deemed worthy of respect for moral reasons. Christians recognize the imperfections and agree with the ostracising of the name Jesus. Hence their not passing on the name and showing disrespect. Jesus is as unworthy to literal reading people in the myriad of Christian cults, as is Yahweh.

Are the myriad of Christian and Catholic cults showing a lack of respect for the name of Jesus as compared to the respect Muslims show the name Mohammad?

Greatest I am: I disagree a bit. If you go to very Christian places like Mexico, the name Jesus is not uncommon.

Greatest I am: I would say the opposite. Unlike Mohammed, who was merely a prophet, Jesus is the Son of God. Naming your kids Jesus can be seen as equating them to Jesus, something they don't deserve.
I'm probably the person next to you.

I agree that Spanish speakers do us Jesus more than most Christian nations of other languages. It is more of a linguistic blip than for respect I

To a very small extent for sure, but not anywhere near the respect levels that Muslims use for Mohammad.

So I guess you do not think that those who do use the name Jesus do not deserve to. Oh well.

I call that discrimination without a just cause.

As to your Jesus is God view; impossible as God cannot die and Jesus did, sort of.
