If you have the specific intent of trying to preach Islam to us I'm sorry to say you're going to get a mostly negative reaction on these boards. Not because anyone here is anti-muslim. I for one dislike the thought of anyone hating someone strictly because of thier beliefs. Now to me all religion has good points. Most tell us to live together in harmony don't kill and all that. What I dislike about religion is that it tries in some instances to A) Make decisions for you or B) tries to convince you that you are an evil person. Now I've read the Quran and the Bible. They are for the most part the same book ust worded differently. I take no stock in the truth of either. The morals and teachings in both are invaluable to the human race but these are things that can be taught parent to child now. 2000 years ago they probably did need a book to lay it out for them. It's just not the same today. I hold the same values in those religious texts. It doesn't mean I'm gonna I'm going to church on Sunday or that I'm making a pilgrimage to Mecca anytime soon. It just means that 2000 years of molding the human mind has made it's mark. I know I shouldn't kill or steal but hey I love a good pork chop and I don't care if gay people wanna get married. The bottom line is most of humanity would do fine without organized religion. Most people who are of a certain faith are so mostly because thier parents were before them. Both my parents were Cathlic and I was raised as such and went through the usual trials ie First Holy Communion, Confirmation, etc. As I grew up I realised that my parents had done such a good job raising me that I didn't need religion.
