Islam's origins

Submitted by Stephen Phillips (United States), Sep 8, 2006 at 18:12

Hello Z, I'm new to this blog, having started posting yesterday September 7. I want to say that I find your defense of Islam amazing. The origins of Islam is out there to be found by anyone who wants to know. Aren't you even a bit put off by the fact that Muhammad built Islam's foundations based on "visions" he had? the great majority of visions that men have that are not from the God of the bible can properly be classified as fables and hallucinations. Do you know what kind of person Muhammad was?

.... I'm a 45 year old Christian and I know the futility of arguing religion but I don't believe you place any value on truth. Also you cannot judge true Christianity by the actions of Americans, other western nations or the millions who claim to be Christian but make it perfectly clear to the Lord that He is not to interfere in their personal affairs and that he is only to shut up, dish out blessings and rescue them when disaster strikes. Americans have thrown Chritianity out of every place in society. Hollywood and Wall Street are the "Mecca" of Americans. Also catholicism is the epitome of Antichrist. Real Christians, for the most part, love and obey their God and surrender their lives to do his work. True Christians also love all people on Earth no matter what they do or what they believe. And this love comes from God. God chose me to become his son. But I didn't have to choose him to be my Father and Lord.

I chose to live God's life of christianity because I discovered that Christianity is good and it works and no man or evil spirit can stop it! But Islam is the complete opposite of Chritianity in the sense that if you don't agree with a Christian they go on loving you and pray for your well being. But if you don't agree with Islam you will be hated, tortured and killed. I pray that my God, who could be your God if you let him, would bless you with spiritual insight into the murderous foundation and accompanying laws of Islam and contrast it with his all powerful and unconditional love that is found in Christ.
