Polytheists and pantheism are/is different to the main abrahamic religions that most of the worlds population is made up of.
Yes, I agree, their Gods and Goddess exist in a different religious paradigm. My question is:
Is polytheistic Shinto Faith
equally valid as Islam?
** Think about the term: "Abrahamic". Why would someone say:
The God of Abraham IF all of the Gods and Goddesses of the world were from the same source? I mean, the God of Abraham is the God of everyone. All the other deities - they're all the same God. So? Why say: God of Abraham? Just say God. Which, if we are to take your platitude of "
They just follow different prophets (The one for their time)" to mean Prophets were sent to Japan and founded the Shinto faith, prophets were sent to Native America and founded their faith, prophets were sent to Easter Island and Hawaii and founded their faiths. See, the way I see it, when people say "Abrahamic" or "The God of Abraham" the seem to forget the implicit idea that when this religion arose, there were many other Gods and Goddesses in existence. The "Abraham God" being just one of them.
But, just to be clear, you are saying that the Mormon Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. was a
real Prophet from God? Prophet Joseph Smith Jr. was in real communication with Allah and the Book of Mormon is divine revelation? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly.
Slandering a prophet and god is not allowed there, so don;t do it. Can;t you restrain yourself from cursing at things?.
Apparently for most Muslims, as was evidenced in the statistic analysis, Apostasy IS a slander. THAT is a problem for me.
Have you truly studied Religion? or have you just studied whats on fox news or articles "about religion" from other people who have skimmed over a segment of one culture?
I don't watch Fox news and don't have cable (if it's on cable - I don't watch TV so I wouldn't know). I do watch Youtube, I suppose I might have seen a Fox clip?
I find it interesting that I was asked to provide evidence most Muslims are Religiously Bigoted. I find evidence in the form of Blasphemy Law. That's overlooked. I then find a very recent poll done by Pew Polls (a reputable organization) that did a representative survey of Muslims from South East Asia, the sub-content, the Middle East, North ME, North Africa and Africa, some moderate nations, some conservative. The data showed that approximately 50% of Muslims support Death to Apostate Kaffir. Now, one would think that this would be of interest. But it's not. Instead people bury their head in the sand, question the poll statistics, blame the Joos, blame the "Colonists", blame America, blame anyone and anything but the root of the problem, make excuse, after excuse, after excuse and don't deal with the issue.
One wonders: WHY?
Is religious Bigotry Off the Table?
I mean, my Gods, supporting
DEATH for Apostasy?
Isn't that something WE (as Kaffir Apostates) might want to take an interest in? Especially considering the
legal ramifications of the
Blasphemy Laws (which every single so-called Islamic Nation has. Including the "moderate" Indonesians who just pasted a new Blasphemy Law in 2010).
We're talking about calling for Death!
Are we living in the Middle Ages? I mean,
kill someone.... for their personal superstition
?!?!
It's ludicrous.
Yet, here we are, nearly 50% of Muslims support out-right Death, well, you can be damn sure there's at least half that again that support a more lenient punishment (I'd like to say twice that, but you can't double 50%) and obviously would be bigoted towards Apostate Kaffir (such as not shaking their hand). If you want to know
why so many people in the world have a distaste for Islam, don't blame Fox news, they didn't run the poll, don't blame Whitey (just as many Asians and other Africans feel the same) instead think about the implications of those statistics.
How did a certain segment of the human population come think this it's just to murder another human for differences in superstitious ideas?
I find this to be interesting.
