I feel I should be more clear with the problems I am having. As I go back over the other thread and read everything, I feel bad asking you or anyone else to basically go over the same things with me that were said to Josh.
All of the arguments and statements I read were/are things I've heard and read before.
In my opinion, much of the dialogue surrounding Islam involves having to put other religions down. Just as one example, to establish the Quran as the true word of God, it's often stated that the Bible has been corrupted, it's tampered with and wrong, yet the Quran has no changes.
But frankly, neither of the above statements is true. And if that is all that Islam has to stand on, then that is not enough to convince me.
Or then, some people will try to prove that Jesus prophesied about Muhammad's coming and frankly..... He did not. Each scripture I have seen must be twisted, and pulled and distorted (the same thing that Christians are accused of) to make it fit Muhammad (or any other human being for that matter).
You know what? I apologize for taking up time and space here. I guess that at this point, I've heard all the arguments that I'm ever going to hear.
I still believe in what I believe and feel confident in it.
You don't have to respond. Please forgive my rantings... :-)
