Disapointed in people

What you mention about pulling something out then taking it out of context to use in an unintended fashion is exactly what's going on in the world currently with people claiming they are Muslims and doing terrible things.

To condemn anyone, you must first actually know facts. There are many interfaith groups in most big cities who get together to understand each others religions and work together to dispel ignorance. If anyone actually cares about truth, this is a good avenue to learn. MN has a strong group of learned Christians, Jews and Muslims (all people of the book) who gather regularly for the last 25 years. Other religious and non religious groups attend, it's just organized by these three.

See what is funny about that statement is, I can throw it right out knowing this peaceful religion was a straight copy off of the Bible. Than the usual twists and tricks. As well as a certain prophet dying and never having risen from the dead as he claimed he would.

Whereas in the Bible this isn't the case. Those who claim otherwise are illiterate and illogical naysayers that are clinging to their disbelief (or as many would like to say humanist belief/faith), based on irrational...be it fear..? That their humanist faith is in fact crumbling and has been for decades if not longer.

When it comes down to these things one has to chuckle.. I'm starting to see my time spent here leaving a comment was a waste and I feel we're about to jump onto a merry-go-round of useless claims. Full of wasted time for the fact that people cannot educate themselves on simple facts. Such as earlier taking a section from the Bible, how the Quran came to be, what things have been proven yet people still claim otherwise..it's really quite sad and pathetic.

Do with this what you may.

I really don't care what anyone's beliefs are. As I mentioned, if you are a good person by most people's standards, that's all that matters.

I would like to correct something you said. While the three religions are overlapping in most the prophets, stories etc. None were derived from the other. Each religion believes their book was created through a specific prophet by God (originally).

As far as a prophet coming back. Our belief is he is coming back at the end of time (fwiw).
