Actually, Buddha said he wasn't a prophet. Those fat bald statues in temples are not of Siddhartha Gautama, either.

The last link I saw on here was this one: The Universe and the Quran 4
I'm not even remotely interested in the Quran even though it says infinitely more than you and makes more sense.

I'm not the one playing games. Apparently, you've been at some other forum as a troll, according to Pockets, and have now moved here. So you have nothing to say of any interest to me.
BTW when I post "*shrugs*" means I am indifferent to your comments. I hope that satisfies your "????".

If only Muslims could also express freely their personal opinion about Mohammed's status but no, instead, they have to worship an idol like this black stone hidden in the Kaaba.
Such is the idolatry and associating Budda with God
SJP, this is the idolatry and the association with God, coming from the enthusiasm about many religious leaders.
· In fact all idolaters and associaters say they do not worship idols, and that they do worship God their Creator, and that they sanctify their prophets and religious men, and make statues for them: in order that such religious men and prophets may intercede before God for their behalf.
See my thread in this CC forum:

· Another point common among all idolaters and associaters: they say God is the Most High and He is not concerned with their trivial daily life affairs, so they resort to their associates of God: their patrons: like
Budda (Buddists), Jesus and other patron saints (Christians), Simeon Bar Yoḥai and Rachel the wife of Israel (Jews) and Imam Ali and his sons (like what some Muslims do).
And we find this is true even with the worshippers of Satan and the devils: they say: We know God is the Creator, but we worship Satan to be safe of him, while God He is Most Merciful and Most Gracious!
Moreover, those, who worship the cow in India, say: We worship God, but this cow, being without sins, so we worship it in order that it will intercede for us before God.
This is in the Quran 10: 18
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مَا لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلاَ يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَؤُلاء شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللّهِ قُلْ أَتُنَبِّئُونَ اللّهَ بِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
وَيَعْبُدُونَ مِن دُونِ اللّهِ مَا لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ وَلاَ يَنفَعُهُمْ وَيَقُولُونَ هَؤُلاء شُفَعَاؤُنَا عِندَ اللّهِ قُلْ أَتُنَبِّئُونَ اللّهَ بِمَا لاَ يَعْلَمُ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَلاَ فِي الأَرْضِ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ
The explanation:
(They worship, apart from God, what [can] neither hurt them nor profit them, and they say: "These [idols] are our intercessors with God!"
(They worship, apart from God, what [can] neither hurt them nor profit them, and they say: "These [idols] are our intercessors with God!"
Say [O Mohammed, to them]: "Will you inform God of that which does not know [anything] in the [ethereal] heavens nor in the [material] earth? Celebrated be His praise, and exalted be He above what [created beings] they associate [with Him!]")

Ah, the Taliban opinion: Islam was once a great power but Allah has turned his face away from us because we're not following his rules, all we have to do is return to the old ways and he will smile upon us again and all will be put right, he will destroy our enemies and exalt us over all people. Fundamentalist Judaism and Christianity make the same claims, the Old Testament prophets made the same claims, and they're all wrong. Europe defeated the Islamic invasion at the gates of Vienna centuries ago, and Allah had nothing to do with it. He wasn't there then, and he's not here now, he's a human invention. Try reading something other than the Quran, you might get some perspective.
So what do you follow and what is your religion and doctrine, in summary and clearly.
If you could stop jerking and see that Mohammed is the servant of God, which is his title; and the black stone is only part of the building of the Ancient House of God at Mecca; and that anyone who asks his needs from this stone, then he has slipped away from God's religion.
This stone was the mark for Abraham where he should build the House of God at Mecca for pilgrimage and God's worshipping, and it might be a meteorite that God sent for Abraham to lead him to the place where the House of God had been built by Adam before.
This is in the Quran 22: 32-34
ذَلِكَ وَمَن يُعَظِّمْ شَعَائِرَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهَا مِن تَقْوَى الْقُلُوبِ .لَكُمْ فِيهَا مَنَافِعُ إِلَى أَجَلٍ مُّسَمًّى ثُمَّ مَحِلُّهَا إِلَى الْبَيْتِ الْعَتِيقِ .وَلِكُلِّ أُمَّةٍ جَعَلْنَا مَنسَكًا لِيَذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَى مَا رَزَقَهُم مِّن بَهِيمَةِ الْأَنْعَامِ فَإِلَهُكُمْ إِلَهٌ وَاحِدٌ فَلَهُ أَسْلِمُوا وَبَشِّرِ الْمُخْبِتِينَ
The explanation:
(That is so – and anyone who honors the rituals of God; surely it comes from [piety and] the guarding of hearts [against the disobedience and wrath of God.]
In them you have benefits for a term appointed, then to be free of the 'Ihram' state will be concluded by the Ancient House [of God.]
We have appointed for every nation [: Jews, Christians and Muslims] a house of worship, that they may mention God's name on the cattle [when they sacrifice them] which He provides them with.
But your God is One God, so submit [yourselves] to Him [and be Muslims],
and [O Mohammed] give the glad tidings [of admission into Paradise] to those who trust [in God alone] with sure faith.)

I follow evidence and seek wisdom.
I don't have a religion. I am agnostic. If there are gods, they don't care what goes on here. I think if there are gods, there is definitely more than one. If there is only one left and it is all=powerful, then it is a vicious, immoral tyrant.
