The Prophet Muhammad

[smokey the elder]

Thank you, Popcornbird, for sharing your faith with us. It is very refreshing to see such things. Technically, according to The Ten Commandments, Jews and Christians aren't supposed to have images of God. I think images of Jesus Christ are inconsistent with the Ten Commandments. I find myself comparing faiths to find their similarities and shake my head at people picking on the (often insignificant) differences. I guess this is why, as humans, we have a lot to learn yet.

One can, I think, go through the history of any religion or belief and find hurt and angry people who will cause destruction and harm, thinking they are 'fighting for their faith'.

It seems to me that there are certain Christian religions that do not have pictures of Jesus or any holy figure, because of creating an idol that way.

There is a book I have which has this line: "Be quick to see where religious people are right. Make use of what they offer."

Let's look at the good, too - the peace that all these leaders of different faiths wanted - and the 'free will' of the humans that decided otherwise.

As I heard once, 'some people make God in their own image.'

Thanks popcornbird, for sharing!
