Challenge Authority;  Challenge Your Religion

12/28/2001   (#98)
 

The 60's brought us the phrase to "challenge authority."  Although started by long haired hippies, moral conservatives adopted the concept to uncover political and corporate power and financial abuses.  Many a criminal politician has been toppled by those armed with truth.

Taking an impromptu poll around the 888WebToday office, I asked "did any of you ever challenge Christianity?"  Did anyone in the office ever doubt the claims Christianity makes?  The response was always the same: yes they had.  And why are all of us still Christians?  We ALL investigated the claims, and they were all true.  No one in our group is a Christian merely because our parents were.

My own father happened to be a Christian.  But he had the wisdom to teach me WHY I should become a Christian.

There are intelligent answers to every accusation made against Christianity.  What about the crusades?  They weren't following any teaching of Christ.  What gives skeptics any authority to call the crusaders Christians?  But the militant morons who flew planes into the World Trade center WERE following the written teachings of Mohammed.

But doesn't the Christian Bible claim ...(fill in the blank).  When you open the Bible and READ IT, you will frequently find it NEVER DID say things many skeptics claim.  And on the occasion that a verse does say something strange, it merely needs to be referred to someone familiar with the Greek, Hebrew or Arabic languages that were used when the original verse was written.  There are some known translation errors in our English version Bibles.  There are some known scribal errors.  But mainline Christianity builds its doctrine, not on any questionable verses, but on the bulk of the scripture that entirely agrees.  Salvation by faith in Jesus Christ and no other, the divinity of Christ, the concept of the Trinity, the commandment to first love God, then love your neighbor as yourself.  The ten commandments are accepted by all real Christians.  Even the concept of the Sabbath is still observed by all Christians of resting one day in seven.  It was moved from Saturday to Sunday to commemorate Christ's resurrection, but a day of rest per week is still observed.

So when I look at the fastest growing religion on the planet, Islam, I have to wonder:  who are these fools who buy into such outlandish claims without challenging the "used religion salesman" to prove ANYTHING Islam claims.  Would anyone buy a car covered with gang graffiti?  Why does anyone walk into a mosque with a crescent moon on the roof?  Doesn't the moon generate a question in their mind?  I know what a cross symbolizes.  But what does a moon symbolize to the Muslims?  If they research it, they will discover that Allah is the moon god.  One of 360 gods that Mohammed worshipped.

When Muslims are called to prayer all around the world, a phrase is used.  What is the EXACT translation of the words used.  Does ANY Muslim ask this?  The EXACT English translation is "Allah (the moon god's name) is greater"  Greater than what?  Mohammed claimed Allah was the greatest of all the gods he worshipped.  Oh?  What makes the other gods gods?  They don't exist, and neither does Allah.  There really is only one God, but his name is NOT Allah, He does not require believing followers to observe any of Islam's claims and he most certainly does not need any men to kill for him.  The REAL God created the Universe.  He can squash anyone or anything with any weapon of his choosing.  If the REAL God was angry with me, I would fear an asteroid falling on my head before I would expect a Muslim Cleric to come over and cut my hands off or some other asinine punishment dreamt up by fools.  When the moronic followers of Islam think THEY have to carry out their god's actions, don't they realize it is their own pride causing them to think they have more ability than their own god?

Once again, I must apologize to morons around the world.  A true moron cannot help their own level of non intelligence.  But EVERY follower of Islam USED to have a brain.  Why don't they use it and challenge their own religion.  It fails miserably on EVERY claim.

Stop the demonic foolishness that places every person on the planet into a "kill or be killed" situation. Islam does not own every weapon in the world.  Their unquestioning faith in a bogus religion will lead to the total extermination of their own followers in the long run.  If the current population wakes up, all the horrible weapons developed by man could soon be used against Islam.  Or worse yet, if they do tend to out militarize the innocent, the real God Himself can stop them dead in their tracks.

Christian Scripture says:
                        Mat 10:28
                                 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able
                                 to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to
                                 destroy both soul and body in hell.

My God, Jesus Christ was seen by hundreds AFTER he returned from the dead.

Mohammed is still dead and will never come back.  Allah NEVER existed.

Challenge ALL religions.  Islam doesn't have a leg to stand on.
