Yes ... all religions have a foundation myth.  Some stories are more mythical than others.  Political parties have an ideological myth.  This is why politics and religion work so well together ;-(

This is a 10 part series.  Very good.

The Quran and the biography of Muhammad was the creation of the already existing Arabic Empire based initially in Damascus.  It was basically N Arabian, not W Arabian.

No, parents of teenagers are oxy-morons ;-)  Ask any teenager.

Except it lasted more than 5 mins, and was a recap of the foundation myth.  Are you a prophet? ;-)

Hard to believe Brigitte's rant about Islam.

We all know that Islam is peaceful, and to state that this murderous supremacist idea is been around for 1400 years?
Preposterous.
What school or college is teaching this? None.

Our governments constantly assure us that Islam means peace.
I believe it.
Enough of this Islamophobia. It is not right.

It is worth reminding people sometimes that all theisms are equally idiotic.  People who think their special nonsense is unique need a kick in the ass.

Well, you picked Christianity and Judaism only.
All the other religions are OK? There are hundreds more.
We need to know.

I have said many times that all theisms are equally idiotic.  So I'll repeat that.

ALL THEISMS ARE EQUALLY IDIOTIC.

I can't copy the list but you can find it one http://www.humanreligions.info/religions.html.
