The insanity of it all. Why would one explore any religion where their God wants the followers to kill people for him? I am amazed that anyone would follow such junk! People say things to me that are akin to what I have just said; however, I have been without and with faith in God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit as the triune God. I went through the time as Sinome speaks of when I searched out many avenues, but when I found what I have now there is nothing that compares. It is totally non-understandable without the power of the Holy Spirit. It is a most unusual and lovely knowing.

I have read some of the Quoran. As a child I lived for two years in Iran while my dad worked in an oil refinery there... At the local school ( an American School mind you) they taught the quoran for the benefit of the children of the local workers Girls were separated from boys and since there were only about a dozen girls we all stayed for the lectures on the quoran as well as the muslim girls attended the catequism ( it was a pogressive school loll , fact that at the time I did not realize but now I see). I don't remember much of the lectures back then, but in college I also dabbled in it during my "I must look for the meaning of it all" phase . Both as a little girl and as a college student I was shocked at the fact that they could combine the sometimes quite poetic language of some passages with the total craziness of others, but one thing I learned from all that: women are not human beings for them... rather they are considered property and are spoken about in two ways... sometimes as we in the 21 century US would speak of a farm animal we owned... others as if we women were children incapable of thinking on our own... It is sad that so many ( because there are certainly a lot of them) think so little of us women... Be well Naut :-) xoxoxo

I was already questioning some of the other proclamations in the book anyway. And of course the time periods do make a difference in translating what was written in the Quran. I do find that Islam just doesn't seem to keep up with the evolution, except for those who learned how to spoil themselves with lavish amount of oil incomes...
