I believe in God: One God without associate.
And I see the pearls of the Quran; but others don't want to consider; so it is useless to try to let them understand; the speaking to disbelievers: atheists and associaters will be useless like the air in the net - a parable.

This is in the Quran 2: 171
وَمَثَلُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ كَمَثَلِ الَّذِي يَنْعِقُ بِمَا لاَ يَسْمَعُ إِلاَّ دُعَاء وَنِدَاء صُمٌّ بُكْمٌ عُمْيٌ فَهُمْ لاَ يَعْقِلُونَ
The explanation:
(The likeness of those who unbelieve is as the likeness of one who cries at that which does not hear: nothing but calling and crying. Deaf, dumb, blind and they do not understand.)

The interpretation:
God tells Mohammed that your speaking with these disbelievers is like the speaking of Prophet Abraham with the stone idols: he said to the idols:
Will you eat, what ails you that you don't speak? And so he started to break the idols up. Therefore, your speaking, Mohammed, with these disbelieves is like the speaking of Abraham with the idols, will be useless because of their stubbornness and extreme pride; your words will be useless and go the way of the wind.

Like I said, the Quran is only words. A person wrote the words and people can make mistakes, lie, and guess about stuff they know nothing about. So in no way, shape, or form can the Quran be considered as containing fact without verifying what it says. And that cannot be done, so it's just another book like Dr. Seuss's "Horton Hears a Who".

In comparison to the Bible, the Quran is far more eloquinent, poetic and far more beautifully scripted. It's definetly a masterpiece.

Fiction or non fiction it is hard to deny that it's well written.

It's a hell of a lot easier to follow than Inferno.

Reading it in Arabic would probably be worth while if you can read it, but it loses something in the translation.
Inferno or the Quran? I had to read Inferno in Latin but in Arabic? 8O

The ****ty things you'll do for 3 measly farts credits. Ars sine scienta nihil est.

You only repeat and insist on your words and do not consider all my replies about this obvious subject.
We said that God, Allah and Yahweh are the synonyms of God the Creator Most Gracious and Almighty, in English, Arabic and Hebrew.
About God there isn't any doubt: the Splitter of the planets and the earth after being one mass.
This is in the Quran 14: 10
قَالَتْ رُسُلُهُمْ أَفِي اللّهِ شَكٌّ فَاطِرِ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَدْعُوكُمْ لِيَغْفِرَ لَكُم مِّن ذُنُوبِكُمْ وَيُؤَخِّرَكُمْ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى
The explanation:
(Their messengers said: Is there any doubt regarding God, the Splitter of the heavens and the earth, Who calls you [to serve Him] that He may forgive you your sins and reprieve you to a stated term?)Quran Interpretation
Oh my my - what's with the "We said'? You know, your remark, "We said that God, Allah and Yahweh are the synonyms of God the Creator Most Gracious and Almighty, in English, Arabic and Hebrew."? Are there two Eanassers?

Actually Hinduism was replaced in 2006 as the oldest religion. Another clue that humans originated in Africa is that really ancient artifacts (like 70,000 year old items) have been discovered that indicate humans worshipped snakes a lot time before Hinduism came about. The Vedas were only written about 1500 BCE. Zoroastrianism seems to go back to the 13th or 14th century BCE.
It helps to check one's facts before shooting off mouth. ;)

Good on you
