Xenophanes famously noted that if horses could draw, they would draw their gods as horses.

Akhenaten continued the cult of the Pharaoh, proclaiming himself the son of Aten and encouraging the Egyptian people to worship him. The Egyptian people were to worship Akhenaten, and only Akhenaten and Nefertiti could worship Aten directly.

Compare the simplicity of the Shahada to the convoluted complexities of the Nicene creeed whose purpose only makes sense in the explanation I have given: of Christians wanting to be special and better than Jews and Muslims through their blasphemous and idolatrous doctrine of the Trinity which nobody really believes now anyway.

The conceptual superiority and unity of the Koran and its source compared to the ragtag nature of Christian scripture: at the most conflicting accounts of events said to be by Matthew, Mark, Luke and John as well as various epistles written decades after the death of Christ.  The Koran is believed by Muslims to be the directly transcribed Word of God addressing us in Arabic revealed through Muhammad while the New Testament is the reported speech and deeds of an executed revolutionary by different people with different accounts.

I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the Lord do all these things.

In the beginning there was the Word

In the beginning there was a Consciousness that wished to communicate itself to all who had a consciousness and who also wished to communicate with others who had Consciousness. 

That is why words are important.

If we respect this Consciousness, we should take care to speak, spell and express ourselves logically and accurately.

Grammar is the Logic of Language.

God, if He exists, would be supremely rational and logical.  

And that is why we suffer when we think irrationally, express irrationally and act irrationally - in other words when we do not practise what the Buddha recommended: "Right thought, right speech, right action."

So fuck the female-dominated "progressive" teaching establishment who are part the Demented Matriarchal Liberal Establishment who doesn't think grammar, punctuation and spelling are either necessary or desirable and who are no longer capable of teaching it.  Fuck them to fucking hell.

God behaving badly

1:03:00  CLAIRE  KHAW joins to say God in the Koran is more reasonable than God in the Old Testament, but there is only one Abrahamic God.  ...
