I'm asking an honest question. If you are a Muslim, have you ever read the Christian Bible? Or do you simply rely on what you are told about it? I've had many many many discussions about both religions and what I find is that most Muslims are woefully ignorant of the Bible and of Christianity. But I think for most of our Muslim friends, even owning a bible is illegal or at least REALLY frowned apon, so I can't really blame them for not knowing anything. You see, I have read the Quran, I own a copy. I've actually done ALOT of research about Islam. Now, you might disagree with my findings, but still, I can say that I've at least read your Holy book. Now, can you say the same about the Bible? I promise to be nice in this discussion. :) Fri, 09 Feb 2007 21:49:42 GMT sndcain http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1710915.aspx Proving that a God does not exist is not the same as proving that there are no God(s). Proving that there is no God would be like proving that there is not a donkey in orbit around the earth waiting to carry the next prophet away. The God of Abraham was supposedly YHWH, represented by the Tetragammaton. About 1400 BCE the tribe known as the Shasu worshipped this same deity among others. Abraham supposedly lived about 2000 BCE; He had Camels (domesticated about 1000 BCE). He visited Gerar, (Founded about 1050 BCE) and it's King Abimelech (Ruled about 850 BCE). Abraham is called Ibrahim in the Quran but the Muslims accepting the Judaic beliefs are as wrong about Abraham as the others. There is no evidence anywhere that a historical Abraham ever existed, there is evidence that the tale is based on several ancient tales so the logical conclusion is no Abraham and since there was no Abraham all three religions are a fraud. All these three religions further go on to praise Moses. There was never a Moses and historians such as D. B. Redford among a great many other believe the foundation of the story was the expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt by a Pharaoh named (A) Moses. When this Pharaoh was found the A and often an Ah was added to the name to remove the obvious connection. The tale of the baby in the crib which floated down the river to become a famous king was Sargon the Great. Other tales are also mixed in the story but we need not concern ourselves with them here. There was no Moses who delivered the Israelites from bondage; there is no record of the tale from before the Babylonian captivity. No Moses means that all three religions are fraud and there is no reason to go any further. The wise king Solomon is also in all three religions and Solomon is a composite person who got his name and wisdom from the great Greek lawgiver Solon; his many wives was modeled from an Egyptian King so this tale is also a composition indicating all three religions are fraud and we need go no further. The fact is there is nothing which can be tested about the three religions which can’t be shown to be fraud. There is a whole book of example’s waiting but for brevity’s sake this should do. These examples indicate that no God as envisioned by these three religious denominations existed. The people who worshipped the God of the Israelites were not monotheistic; they were called Shasu. They most assuredly adopted monotheism during the Seleucid Empire (312-60 BCE) Christians falsified material such as Josephus and “Histories” in order to give them credibility proving that besides having a faulty foundation they are dishonest. Christianity was adopted by Emperor Constantine as soldiers living in a fantasy world after this life are over made better soldiers due to not fearing death. Mohammad proved himself a con-man with the three portents and he founded a religion conning young men to fight for him with a promise of innumerable obedient females in an afterlife. These three religions is an epidemic preventing civilization from coming about. They thwart scientific advancement and stifle spiritual growth. Don’t you think it is about time we employed a sound foundation to base our lives on? Shouldn't we safeguard our children from the terrorism of these three religions?
