Yes indeed. Do be silly!
I've got a neighbour who's called Abraham.
Best man I've ever known.
And he's got a multitude of beautiful daughters.
hehehe
getitrite said... Jerami, take that thought once step further and you will quickly see that corrupt individuals CREATED the religions rather than just took control of them.
Again ... religion is not God.. God ain't religion.
Yes; Religion was created by mankind.
Concepts of what/who God is was created by man?
That says nothing to the question of is there something/someone else out there.
I can hide in a cave and see nothing but the walls. I can sit there a know that there is nothing else out side the walls of what I see; or I can go out side and look around and see that there is something else. And I will not live long enough to see it all.
I can explain my beliefs all day long and you will not truthfully understand what I am saying because people impose their own concepts upon what they hear others saying.
There are many things that can not be explained; the best that can be done is to compare them to what I might think your concept of it would be.
**Edit-This comment was not from Getitrite, it was from Q.
Can't you just be content with the fact that you, and no one else knows anything about who or what god is--or if it really exists at all? That is the irrefutible truth, isn't it?
Your analogies all lead to the strawman fallacy.
Strawman Fallacy=an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.
[1] To "attack a straw man" is to create the illusion of having refuted a proposition by substituting a superficially similar proposition (the "straw man"), and refuting it, without ever having actually refuted the original position.
Jerami, Q is not proposing that there is no god. He is questioning your belief in your specific concept(It at come point came under the control of corrupted individuals)...and based upon the evidence, your beliefs are irrational.

Hi friend "Q"
Please see our belief:
THE BELIEF IN THE
PROPHETS
This belief in principle in the truth of the founding prophets and also the minor prophets of other religions is a unique declaration of the Quran, absent in all other divine books. It throws light on the universality of creation as well as on the universality of Islam itself. If the Quranic claim that the teachings of the Quran are for the entire world is true, then it has to recognise the truth of all prophets. Otherwise the followers of so many different religions will not find any connecting bridge between themselves and Islam.
The recognition of the truth of all books and the recognition of the truth of all prophets is a revolutionary declaration which has many benefits for man as a whole. Among other things, it powerfully paves the way for inter-religious peace and harmony. How can one be at peace with the followers of other religions if one considers them to be impostors and if one monopolises the truth only for the religious divines of one's own faith?

And it is a very peaceful belief. Is it not?
Thanks

Indoctrination and delusion are the connecting bridges.
It wouldn't be considered peaceful even if my head were screwed on upside down and backwards.
Hi friend (Q)
Please keep your head straight on your shoulders; it is only a friendly discussion in search of truth; no compulsion.
Thanks

One God - One Message for all Mankind
The Message from the Creator- God Allah YHWH has always primarily been the same; belief in ONE-God and following Word of Revelation descended on the Messenger/s Prophet/s. With the lapse of time people forgot the message and lost it. It is the grace of the Creator-God Allah YHWH that he always revived it for the ethical, moral and spiritual uplift of the human beings.
I express my belief with reason; others could freely differ with me with reasons.
Thanks

Jung described the archetypes which manifest from the unconcious mind. These archetypes are manifested by way of symbols or motifs. The outer symbols and motifs vary from one individual or culture to another, but the underlying archetypes remain the same. Furthermore, in nature, in the world about us, in society, and in family are reflections of these same archetypes. From the archetypes, our symbols emerge from the unconcious mind into our conciousness. In the concious mind, they become codified and arranged to form systems of thought and belief. While the symbols and the mythologies appear to change from location to location and culture to culture, the truth of the matter is they all originate from the same place and have essentially the same underlying archetypes. We as humans pass from these beliefs from one generation to the next for the explicit purpose of assigning MEANING to the world around us. Maybe we can debate the TRUTH of the MEANING, but the bottom line is: there is a basic urge for humans to make SENSE of the WORLD/UNIVERSE about us, to ponder the expanse and observe the miniscule, to exercise our intellect and find PURPOSE for our existence. I could debate the existence of your intellect and whether you have any purpose for being, but that really is no concern of mine. "If the six turned out to be nine..."(-J. Hendrix)

Why do people of different religions constantly argue which is the the "true" religion?It seems like a never ending cycle. It seems like a war of words. I became caught in it at one time myself. I don't know that anyone will ever win it?

We often think of the parable of the talents as a lesson in utilizing your gifts, and doing best with what you are given. (Matthew 25:14-30)What I would like to present is the relationship between different churches in regard to this parable. With so many people born into so many churches, what...
