Would you want to have to ask, or would you want such adoration given

And looking around you, you see God's hand in everything.

As I look around *me*, I see many different religions all guessing that
their particular strain is the *only* religion. I also see that religion
in the UK is dying out except for the primitive Muslim religions. It's
true that as people get more informed and intelligent that they are
realising how misguided they have been.
It wasn't that long ago that people were worshipping the Moon/ the Sun
and many other objects as their god. Even today there are Scientologist
idiots believing in Aliens etc.
If you read the Bible or the Koran, you'll see that they are both
contradictory all the way through and the *believers* cherry pick what
they want to hear.


Oh brother. People fall away when they get affluent.

Cherry pick. Maybe. Christians are always in a state of
spiritual warfare. The Holy Spirit convicts us and eventually
we get better at following Jesus teachings.

Please do not lump the Koran and the Bible together. One
teaches hatred and violence to your neighbor, the other
teaches tolerance and love for your neighbor.

Hmm! "an eye for an eye". What a lovely sentiment.
Which of those two categories does that quote come from?
Surely you're not cherry picking!!? Are you?

Actually..he isnt. Calls for revenge are very..very limited in the
OLD Testement...yet are written in hundreds of Sutras in the Quoran

Care to provide cites for any in the New Testement?

Take as much space as necessary

I have an old Bible, but rarely read it and I am no expert so I couldn't
quote more than a few.
I started to read some babble in the Bible that was a pageful
of someone begatting someone else then someone else begatting another
person.
I ended up with a headache and couldn't make sense of the tosh.

So you are simply parrotting you have heard from others then. That is
hardly surprising. Even I have read the Bible (Old and New
Testament) the Tibetian Book of the Dead, the Q'uran, the Book of
Tears, and so on and so forth, right along with the Pali Canon of my
chosen way of life.

And I make NO grand prononcements that my "religion" is the only one
or the correct one. How can it be? The paths are more in number than
the stars in the sky.
