Muhammad,

The link you provided to another one of your postings was a very good reading. I must confess I made my first post and then read that posting the next day (before you responded to mine) and felt bad for the combative language that I chose to use. Please except my apology.

You seem like a good level headed person with an open mind. Religion has become a sensitive subject to me the older i get. I believe in God I just don't believe in religions anymore. I speak to God through my day constantly and feel his presence with me. It just seems like most religions ( I include Islam, Christianity, Judism in this) must have been created by Satan himself. As a way of turning Gods childern against each other and seducing us into committing some of the most horrifying sins against each other in the name of God. I believe on 911 God cried and Satan rolled on the floor laughing in his head off.

The problem with hatred is once it starts it's like a runaway freight train. No one is happy unless their the one who gets to inflict the last blow. Hatred is easy, vengence is bitter sweet, true tolerance and love is the hardest path to follow. And we're all failing at this path !!!!!! I believe there's some truth in all the religions but there is no one religion that is completely or the only one that is correct. So when I hear people saying that the quran is the direct word of Allah or that it is perfect and it's prophet was perfect and that Islam is the religion of peace blah blah blah blah blah............I just want to scream SHUT UP !!!!!! And Jerry Farwell saying that the only way to God is through Jesus (he's actually saying the only way is through his religion) I want to smack him across the face and say SHUT UP !!!!!!! So please except my apology , my anger was not with you. It is with humanity and their tribal pack animal mentality that always produces nothing but hate and hypocricy.

Best of wishes to you and yours.

Timothy
