After reading some more Koran tonight, I had an epiphany.
I realized that some of the worst parts of the Koran were similar to worst parts of the Christian Bible. I now believe many parts of both were misinterpreted.
While I realize that Islam has been violent throughout its history, so has Judeism and Christianity (think Crusades).
I'm not sure I believe in the 72 virgin promise, but I am starting to get Mohammed's believe in a better after-life. I need to read more.
That said, our world has gone to shit. There can be a better place for those who believe.
Yes, I know I've been promoting the opportunity and potential of our original Founding Fathers' intent for years, but they were also persons of faith. I don't know what happened...call it a vision...call it a dream...call it what you like.
This is tough stuff for me. But when you have a "vision" of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed, where do you go?
The last prophet was Mohammed. Yes, I know of his trangressions, the same as others. But his writing are starting to make sense.
Get a grip. If you believe in anything, you believe in nothing.
LOLROTF
Maybe the author just wants to beat his wife.
Why stop with Mohammed?
When it comes to prophets and such, newer is better, right?
Check out Bahai Ullah(sp) and L. Ron Hubbard - it’s all good, right?
Those who follow Islam over Christianity have a fundamental problem with justice. There must be a sacrifice provided to God for the fall in the garden before He is free to bless any of us in order for Him to remain both righteous and just.
He is more than one or the other, righteous or just, He is both which compromise His Holiness.
When He comes to no longer tolerate evil amongst His presence, there must be something within us which is Divinely recognizable as righteous and something to remove all evil from His presence.
Without Christ, we have no perfect sacrifice which will remove evil and without faith in and through Christ, we have no known good which will endure all Divine tests of righteousness.
Those who seek another course are free to pursue such endeavors, provided they obey legitimate authority, but there will remain the first death, and then the judgment for all men, so there is no reincarnation, or out-card to avoid the judgment, but their is an alternate judgment seat for those with faith in Christ, by which all sins have alreay been judged and believers are merely judged for their works to determine which rewards will be eternally granted us by our Intercessor.
Islam ignores the justice inherent in God’s Holiness which demands perfect righteousness. While many Muslims might seek to perform works which are just or righteous, without them being performed on by His protocol, they simply become a good work performed in a wrong fashion, still lacking righteousness and either having received their rewards already or simply good for nothingness.
Did it get Hot in here or is it just me ?...
You now believe marrying a 6 year old child & consummating that “marriage” when she was 9 was/is a good thing? Polygamy is a good thing? Beating your wife is a good thing? Cheating, lying, & stealing is OK if done to a non-muslim? You now believe my word in a court of law is worth less than yours?
Understand this:
If you follow islam, then we infidels have every right to believe you are a cheating, lying, stealing, wife beating, supporter of a pedophile who wants to murder and/or enslave anyone else who is not a muslim.
Your word is worthless to me - not worth the air that produces it. Your beliefs disgust me, & you are, by your beliefs, my mortal enemy. Pardon me if I want absolutely nothing to do with you.
I shun you as I would a rabid dog, & for the exact same reason!
I have some purple sneekers to sell you.
Read nv’s comments. With his wording he proves that he’s not American. Period. He’s a baiting phony and needs to be thrown off the boards. Here’s hoping he gets all he deserves, in every sense possible.

Try Scientology first.
It’ll mess you up about as bad, but it’s marginally easier to get out of alive.
Sorry for two posts. Post button appeared to not have engaged, so I hit it again. What do we do when that happens, in order to avoid a double post, and yet get off the page and back to where we want to go?
Kitty’s getting hot!!!! Ya know the lightening bolt thingy!
That is one of the most abhorrently stupid and idiotic statements that I have seen in a long time.
Are you so damned dumb that you think those ABC agencies actually give a rat's ass as to how the persons on this forum or the owner of this forum, replies to your idiotic dithering?
You are a fool.
But then, I think you already know that, don't you?
Follow your conscience and faith right down the toilet, if you wish, but I am not required to give a damn, and I am guaranteed the right to state that I think islam sucks, and so therefore it follows, so do you.
Have a nice day.
Mohammed the last prophet? Well what about Joseph Smith and the prophets of other revelations?
