Thanks for your comments. Maybe you are getting a clear picture or just one that you prefer to see of me.
Anyway, I am just saying things to help you think. Obviously the lies are within the Quran. As religion is man-made and leads to self edification.
The big question you should think about is do you really want to know God?
I used to be very religious, attend church, grew up a Baptist. I've had my share of abuse and mind control in religion. I'm free now because I didn't choose God. He chose me.
You remind me of some people I've met in the past. I'm wondering if you are a woman? Most women ask lots of questions or believe as you have.
I'm actually enjoying this dialogue. I rarely get a chance to talk with a Muslim.
Maybe if you lived close by we could drink some tea or soda and chat some.
Islam is the thinking mans religion. There are multiple verses instructing man to stop, think, reflect.
I am not one who thinks religion is man made. In fact i think this refutes the purpose of life. If you believe in God, then surely you believe he sent down some form of instruction?
I think Muslims know God best as they describe / know him through his names of which there are 99. Such as Al Quddus (the holy one), Al Wadud (the loving) and Al Halaq (the creator). There are actually more, but 99 is more "main stream" Islam. Do Buddhists have so many descriptions of God? Hindus? Idk.
My dad was a Baptist and my mother was a Witness. Both have passed on.
Sadly many use religion to abuse others, but you can't really judge a religion by those who claim to represent it. You have to look at what the faith itself actually teaches. Whats in its books and what its scholars say. Not what some youtuber puts out.
I'm male and i currently live in Texas. I was born and raised in Indiana, i have never left the US.
You can believe what you want. But I choose to believe truth, not errors as Quaran teach.
Religion is of man, not God. I wish I could help you to see the bigger picture here. But maybe with prayer and time you will see.
I pray 5 times a day 7 days a week, as is normal with most practicing Muslims. I worship the Creator, Allah in Islam, God the Father in Christianity. They are one in the same.
Connection with the Almighty is needed for many reasons, for one to tell truth from falsehood, especially in this age of deceit. Connection comes through prayer.
I bet you didnt even read the bible when you were following Churchianity as I call it.
If you had read the bible then ( its still not too late
)you'd not have changed over to Islam so quickly.
I remember one time when i was pretty young in Sunday school amongst a dozen kids or so. The teacher would call out a Biblical verse and whoever found it first would get a piece of candy. I won alot of these challenges because i was familiar with the Bible even as a child.
.. Idk what to comment on the "Muslim doctor". There are literally 2 billion Muslims on the planet today. Literally 1 in 4 humans. There is likely alot of Muslims in your reality, they just never mentioned it.
Bin Ladin was a scapegoat. 9/11 was all about getting the US into the middle east. Where we've been for 20 years now.
