I guess since I'm an atheist, you have nothing negative like this to say to me, since I don't believe any of the mind-control experts mentioned in ancient books that talk about communicating with invisible supernatural beings with names like "god" and "allah."

Anyone who literally believes ancient texts is just gullible, sTs. I don't care what language it was written in or how many years one has been a so-called "scholar." Mohammed, Moses, and all the rest made it all up. It gave them personal power over large numbers of people--they were power-mongers, not prophets. And they--and their followers--still dupe people today. Better, indeed! They were geniuses at brainwashing.
