Thanks for supporting my points with your reply runner. Shows I'm correct. Nice of you. Thanks.

May May,

"Yuyutsu, you wrote "Did Jesus seek power and domination? No he didn't". That's factually incorrect I'm afraid. Here's the proof with Jesus' own words, spoken by Jesus Himself in the New Testament "So I will cast her on a bed of suffering, and I shall make those who commit adultery with her suffer intensely, unless they repent of her ways. I will strike her children dead. Then all the churches will know that I am He, who searches hearts and minds, and I will repay each of you according to your deeds" Rev 2:22.23."

My my, you do need to increase your comprehension, the words are not Jesus' own words as spoken by him but the words written by John in Revelations and in very similar vein to the revelations given to Muhammad, except that Muhammad came later and seems to have borrowed (plagiarized) from John.

couragous French woman says it for how it is.

Dear May,

<<Here's the proof with Jesus' own words, Rev 2:22.23>>

The book of revelation was written around the years 81-96, so none of Jesus' disciples were alive. Someone "John" said that "Jesus said" - so what? Likewise, Abu Bakr said that "Muhammad said"...

It's sadly true that some who are considered "Christian" have done evil in the name of God: that's using God's name in vain, that's desecration of His holy name, evil people do these things all the time - because they aren't religious, they only pretend to be.

Dear A.J. Philips,

People who practice religion arrive at a common experience, no matter which religion they were using to get there. Those who do not arrive at this experience or at least had a glimpse, have nothing to hold on and being blind they can only latch onto external phenomena such as the specifics of the culture of those who practice religion.

Just because one is colour-blind, one should not use the word 'blue' to describe the shape, weight or temperature of some blue object.

Dear Constance,

All that we know today about Muhammad, is what Abu Bakr and his gang wanted us to know. How much of it is true? How can we tell?

What I CAN tell, is that some people receive profound religious experiences from following [some of] the practices of Islam, hence I think that Muhammad was up to something highly spiritual.

I am not contesting that those calling themselves Muslims are causing problems, which they do: I contest the belief as if they follow the teachings and life of the prophet Muhammad. If they also could discover that they aren't truly following Muhammad, then they too will want to stay away from terror, abuse and hatred.

<<I did not mean to include cults.>>

The difference is only in the size of the organisation, which is superficial. What matters is only whether or not one has effective religious practices which can help people come closer to God.

Yuyutsu, you posted a comment to me saying - "There is no need for anyone to "adapt and progress with the rest of the world". Demanding that others do so places you in line with oppressive regimes, including Islamic ones. Suffice that we refrain from violence, that we live our own lives while letting others live theirs."

I really don't follow your logic at all. Firstly I did not demand that Islam adapt and progress, but I did point out that not doing so is creating a problem for the rest of the world.

Do you honestly think if we (the West) refrains from violence that the followers of Islam will suddenly see the Light and the world will begin to live in harmony?

Evolution is a natural process; criticising Islam for consciously choosing to not evolve and opting to stay in a medieval mindset whilst taking advantage of the modern weapons on offer does not make me as bad as a dictator.
