I know. But there's no Jesus figure. Muslims most certainly do not worship Muhammed.
Are you suggesting that the Qu'ran doesn't have some wild 'imaginary' tales among its Suras.
No I'm not.
Most meaningless death?... 180 degree opposite...it was the most important event ever.
I just don't buy into it.
The explanations I hear - like for instance
His death had to take place to open what had been closed by Adam's sin - I just find them to be meaningless words.
If I laid down my life so that my sons could live, well, that death might be said to have 'meaning'.
Jesus didn't really die and He was God anyway, well, the only 'meaning' it has seems to be that it was a meaningless gesture. It proved nothing. Achieved nothing. Except it's given rise to a lot of mumbo-jumbo which - when you dissect it, looking for it's so-called "meaning" - just kind of disappears.
