So so so. You lost. Muslims follow the Bible?

You didn’t answer this:

Who told Abraham to offer his son and why?

And your dodge of the whole universe thing hasn’t gone unnoticed.

I’m on my way to another Christmas party.

Bye for now.

1.) No, I certainly don't feel like I lost anything. Muslims follow a Bible of their own, called the Koran (I thought you knew this, sorry) and they do pretty much what Christians do. Pick what they like and explain away what they don't. That is why all religions have so many conflicting (sometimes even warring) factions. And every side has "proof" they are right.

2. IIRC, your God told a man to sacrifice his son. This is exactly the sort of thing you'd see out of the Middle East, and a perfect precursor to the Jesus story. You see, in the Middle East, a sacrifice of a son is the ultimate, because men are worth so much more than women, and the father makes the sacrifice because he CAN. He's the father. That's how that culture is. The Bible is an absolutely accurate reflection of that culture. What I am saying (for about the fourth time now) is that no American need bow to that culture. Whether you're bowing to Mecca or Jerusalem, you're bowing to the Middle East.

3. I didn't dodge any questions about the universe, I told you (or whoever) to check out Dr. Lawrence Krauss's youtube talk "A Universe From Nothing." I am not an astrophysicist and I cannot put his lecture in bumper-sticker form for you. If I had a question about the Bible, would I be better off asking you, or looking for myself? Well, the same goes for you. If you have a question about how the universe could theoretically have come from nothing, go right to the person who has the theory and is willing to explain it to you.
