Dear Hindu friend,

May i ask you what makes the worship of idols so divine? I have heard so many a things about feeling god's presence in front of you when you worship but can you tell me one place where god is not? ANd how do you know what god or gods look like? Did they come down from the sky and say i am your god make idols of me and worship me? Is there any proof of what god looks like?

I have proof of the Qu'ran. Where is your holy book? God cannot be seen physically but by what he created; the moon, the sun, the planets, humans. In the Qu'ran it is said that the Prophet once went to an idol shrine in Makkah and smashed all the idols. When the people came they asked who had done it. THe Prophey simply said "Why do u not ask the idol gods?" So the day you give me proof that your clay figures are the real gods of the world, i will believe you.

Just sayin
