For Tim and breathing life in clay birds and the Qur'an says that Jesus was indeed God!

My dear Tim your Allah says in his book that Jesus did _breath life_ in clay birds albeit biidhin Allah (oh silly me you do not know any Arabic!). I'm sure that you would agree with me that only a God can breath life in let us say clay birds.

What does this mean?

1. It means that Jesus was indeed God.

2. Or even worse: Muahmmad did not mean that Jesus was a God and he was just the poor theologian that he was and that his command of logic and reason was defective and he only did mean to say that Jesus was a prophet but this is not what this aya is saying!

Therefore: congratulations my dear Tim: Jesus is your God.

What is most bizarre about all of this is that your Allah or is it Muhammad borrowed (plagiarized) this lame story from the Gnostic Gospel of Thomas! So much for the Qur'an being the word of Allah. Well, I guess your Allah plagiarized other stories from the Greeks and the Syrians (The story of the Romance of Alexander, and called it Dhul Qarnain, and the story of The seven sleepers of Ephesus and called it Ahl al-Kahf!) so why not the story of the clay birds?
