Yes, I know – I’m not asking if you believe in your idea of God; of course you do and of course it makes sense to you.
I’m asking if it is possible for someone else’s ideas to be true instead of only your idea. Some people have believed there are more than one God. I am asking: Is it possible there are five Gods? Yes, this makes the assumption that you will not think about your version of God and entertain the notion that there are 5 Gods.
Again: Is it possible there are five Gods?
The question is very straight forward: Is it possible Mohammad was not a Prophet?
The same could said for Shinto beliefs. They are much older than Islam and billions of people believed. I know MANY Japanese that still do. As a matter of fact, almost all Japanese have, what I would yes consider superstitious, beliefs. Even people I would have thought otherwise.
Anyway, your argument could be made for Buddhism, Hinduism, African nature worship, Christianity, Zeus, Jupiter, Thor, etc…
The same rational could also be used for the Baha’i (who also claim Mohammad was a Prophet – just not the last). As evidence they would show that the oldest Qur’an are different than the modern and thus it has been corrupted and then point to how most Islamic countries are crap and lots of Muslims have many superstitious beliefs and all this is evidence that Islam is corrupt and as such a new prophet was needed bla bla bla. (In your own religious teaching this fits rather well. Yet I am sure you are not Baha’i.)
Is it possible that Mohammad was NOT the last Prophet and that Bahá'u'lláh was the Last Prophet?
Also note:
Alexander was worshiped as a God for nearly the same length of time that Mohammadism has been around.
So I’ll ask again:
Is it possible Mohammad was not a Prophet?
(note: there is certainly no Hubris is asking a question. People were considered Hubris and executed by the church for suggesting the Earth orbited the Sun and was not the center of the Universe. Such Hubris!!!)
Hubris? Not all – some. Many when they get overseas act in a manner they’d surely not act at home. I think it’s some sort of defense mechanism? Hubris is not my character, but in a debate - I will debate the point. I realize that many, probably most, of my ideas are wrong.
Actually, I wish Sciforums had a sub-forum specifically for “debate” and that during debate each person who enters agreed to answer each question posited to them by ticking a box and that if they didn't answer the question they conceded the point. That would make things quicker.
I was reading very quickly. I have said many times before that I think Mahammedism initiated from conservative Jews that adopted the ways of Arabs. I said before that I thought Mohammad was Jewish-ish
IMHO anyway.
So I naturally agreed with the writer's over arching assertion that all of the Jewish parts of the Qur’an (70%) were plagiarized from Judaism. It’s either that or an Angle whispered in Mohammad’s ear. I’m going with plagiarism. However, I also, as I posted in this thread, said that the I was told an Ethiopian Christian provided the Christian literature and a Persian Zoroastrian the Zoroastrian literature. And obviously the Arab practices would have come from Mohammad’s own back ground.
Anyway, yes it was weird the the name Mohammad was duplicated and so was the word Qur'an. Or at least I thought it was weird to me.
As to Reza, he might get a little mad but I will send you his MySpace page when I get it. Maybe today?
