Thread: God's Name

Speaking of the Moon, I have to inform you that there is no such thing as the Moon. It's actually the left testicle of an ancient camel that has been mysteriously put in the orbit. Arabs knew that, so they worshiped the "Heavenly Testicle"; it was believed that the god of Moon would in that way save their camels from misfortune.

In 1969, when man finally conquered the Moon, the undeniable fact was revealed at last. But people in NASA decided not to tell anybody. Not a word about it. What? You think they should have let the cat out of the basket? Who would believe it then?

It was only quite recently that this greatest mystery of all times was made public. The Moon, the ornament of the skies, the glorious bride of heavens that has been a constant source of inspiration for poets, is in fact the left testicle of a camel.

Now go back to your Quran-burning ambitions.

In fact, since the ancient Egyptians the humankind knew the moon is not a god on its own, but just a manifestation of the deity. Similarly to animals. So, what Neil had seen was not in fact a testicle, but at most a manifestation of the testicle.

If you have something to debate, about concerning the previous information complete with links and sources which I posted, then perhaps you should try to articulate your point, because right now you come across as giving the typical emotional response of name calling and labeling that an ideologue often gives when confronted with information that he can not assimilate. Truth is never discovered through emotions!

I see now from your avatar that you claim to be currently in Iran. If you are Iranian you appear to have turned your back on your ancestors who resisted fiercely the men of Mohamed when they came for them. Great battles were fought and many men died trying to preserve their freedom from Islam back then. The original Iranians were called the Aryans who came down from Russia and settled where they are today.
History of the Ancient Aryans

Thanks for the tutorial about my ancestors. I know who the Aryans were and where they settled and so forth. Learned that stuff in third grade. And I have not "turned my back on them". You appear to have neglected a previous post of mine in which I said I'm not a religious person. Please don't view my opinions from that perspective.

Talking history is ticklish work, pal. If one allows his imagination too much freedom, his whole argument will be doomed. If you have finally chosen to desist from the kind of language you used to use, then I shall be glad to debate.

Mohammad was illiterate. He couldn't read the Bible. He knew nothing other than what an ordinary shepherd knows. The fact that in some early stage of his life he was employed by a wealthy tycoon, doesn't automatically imply that he went to the desert equivalent of Harvard University. The number of people who could read and write across the entire Arabian Peninsula is said to have been 17 at that time. If you could read a script, Arabs would look at you like you had just come from Mars. It was too great a rarity to go unnoticed.

The Quran is, therefore, not written by Prophet Mohammad. By whom, then? The second principle of the Islamic faith states: Mohammad was a messenger from Allah. [The first principle says that there is one God, and only one God.] Mohammad's new religion did not disregard the older Abrahamic religions of Christianity and Judaism. Quite the contrary: Islam was presented as a continuation of the string of monotheistic religions started by Abraham.

Your saying that Mohammad preached the opposite of Christ's teachings is, at best, a common fallacy among Christians. Pagan Arabs of that era were only slightly different from animals. The only things they knew in their lives this side of the grave were: desert, camels, and swords. Mohammad started his mission in such a troubled surrounding, and managed to make but a few real human beings out of those barbarian people. Judging by that alone, Islam was an utterly successful religion. Whether it works today as well is quite a different story.

So how's that for a start? Let's debate. Only, later on don't call me an ideologue, if you please. Because I'm not one. On this forum, I have already openly expressed my dislike of some of the things associated with Islam. Seeing that you've joined the forum a bit later than me, I'd like to know your own religious orientation, for the sake of clarity.

Peace
