Your anger is authorized.
And you should be angry.
We should all become angry at false religion and its absurdity.
But do not band together false religion with true religion.
You do not know true religion..................so please make it clear to what religion your anger is directed.
If it is Christianity say so.
If it is Islam say so.
Ho ...[text shortened]... rds their fellow man in sectarian violence.
The Vaisnavas are the followers of TRUE religion.
Did you mean it's justified?

Yeah?
I wish I had a whole team of religious nuts authorizing what I can and cant get emotional about. That would leave a lot more spare time for chess and that.
for you?

Originally posted by vistesdThe same could be said for those being uncomfortable with only one right meaning. To say that there is a "right" meaning or a "right" path would be to say that we might be on the wrong one. The thought of this is uncomfortable. I think many take comfort in thinking that there is no right or wrong so that they will never be held accountable for a wrong path. Then again, the thought of there being no right or wrong seems rather ludicrous as well, just as the moral outrage for Abraham possibly sacrificing his son does attest.
> I know that many are uncomfortable with the absence of “one right meaning”—generally being the one that they adhere to. Some people are also uncomfortable with poetic language that requires interpreting metaphors with many possibilities (perhaps the major portion of the Torah is written poetically, despite what we have come to see as a poetic layout on the page).

Also, just because there is a "right" meaning does not mean that there is only one right meaning. However, to use two different names is to give two different meanings. The obvious implication here is that Mohammad's blood line is the one true blood line and following him is the one right path.

But I think DASA, whilst entitled to his opinions within the boundaries set by the mod's, is not even pretending to debate the issues he raises.
He is more of a vitriolic, and intentionally abrasive 'Town Cry'r' than a genuine poster.

Originally posted by vistesdI'm finding this discussion most enlighting, thanks.
Since Jewish interpretation has been mentioned, and since I haven’t worked with this stuff for some time (and my Hebrew is even rustier than it was), even though non-dualistic Judaism was my personal way for some years, after I discovered about the age of 50 that I had a long-kept-hidden Jewish heritage (and I am contemplating revisiting it)—
Judaism, bei ...[text shortened]... religion of dualistic theism.
Other than those points, I am not intending to defend anything.

Indeed its rather interesting that all the prophets regraded as prophets by both Jews

etc etc and that there should suddenly arise, without precedent, one from the line of
Ishmael is suspicious to say the least. There is some difference of opinion among

no concept of a propitiatory sacrifice.
