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.
Why an I “toll” because I find a new faith?
On second thought after reading you have no faith to begin with it’s no wonder your taking the bait. You’ve been had.
Of course the Bible is full of stories of war, death etc...and history before it...why do you think God stepped into the fray in the person of Jesus Christ?????
.. He stepped into mans History of death and distruction to show him a way of escape...but not all take it. If they don’t then they are open to what ever counterfeit the world wants to offer....and many get had. But then that is your choice. One leads to life the other to death and a lifestyle of death.
Actually I figure your old enough to know better than to even consider Islam...you haven’t done your homework on it or you wouldn’t be toying on the edges of it...then again might be you are the OLD TROLL as some have said ..if so............
....you better watch out for those kitties that will give you lightening vision you’ll never forget!
I see you have gone from the medical marijuana to the crack pipe in one easy move. Islam is intolerant and incompatible with all other religions. You have just discovered the # 1 mental illness in the world.
You appear to agree with the oft repeated claim that there is truth at the core of all the great religions. This isn’t a new thought and it is an oft repeated error.
There is a central untruth at the core of every religion except Christianity.
If you wish, we can engage over this assertion or yours.
Put the bottle down brother and go sleep it off.
The Koran and it’s hadiths are directly and diametrically in opposition to the Word of Jehovah. There is NO WAY that Mohammad is a prophet of Jehovah, as his prophecy is not built upon the prophets of old.
God does not change, ergo, neither do His prophets.
You have seen in error.
As Jesus is the perfect and sinless Son of God, what trangressions are you ascribing Him with?
Dude.. I got this vest I want you try. A little bulky and I think it has an ON/OFF button (probably a heater). Try it on and show your friends.
I'm sure you two can have fun discussing your (un)holy book.
Me? I'll use that book for an asswipe the next chance I get.
By the way - what navy are you a vet of? Somalia?
So you went crazy eh?
And what point(s) would that be?
That the United States is The Great Satan?
That the Jews are the children of Satan and Israel
should be wiped off of the face of the earth?
That all infidels, (Christians & Jews) must die?
Are these the points you're speaking of?
Please are you really that confused or “only” trying to spread confusion?
Only ignorant can take your point without a second and specific sight!
Tell us if you can what “worst parts” of the Christian Bible can be compared and assimilated to some parts of the Koran!
The definite answer to your rough(and Politically Correct) statement is the comparison of Jesus-Christ’s and Muhamad’s lives and fates! Their first disciples or followers have had also very different fates...
And violence is clearly on the muslim’s side SINCE THE VERY BEGINING.
Last but not least you bring back again the usual Crusades’ stuff without making the begining of a sensible point on that period!
As a straight answer i’d say that Crusades were fully legitimate after the massive attacks by arabo-muslims and afterward by turks against the christian byzantine empire and against “Spain” “France” “Italy”...
But i am wondering if you really believe in your craps and if not what is your goal and agenda
Funny, just last month you didn’t trust Muslims, and your writing style has changed. Have you poached an ID?
What have you been taught about the mission of the Crusades?
The violence of Judaism and Christianity is the size of a peanut compared to the violence of Islam that is the size of an elephant.
Don't blame you for asking. I'm surprised myself. Awakenings happen. Allah Ackbar!
You Don’t Even Know What Tonite IZZ Do Ya’?,,,
TRICK OR TREAT AZZHOLE!!!...
