Islam
Some of the 10 Commandments that are the hardest to keep are - adultery/lust, hate/anger/rage, and not coveting your neighbors stuff.
In Islam, it seems that they are taught to Hate (anger and rage) against anyone different, even other Muslims In Islam, coveting your neighbors stuff doesn't apply when you are busy conquering the world. In Islam, lust and adultery is Ok if the victims of your perversion are not Muslim.
I was surprised at the videos reference to abducting Christian women to fill the Harems of the Sultans. I guess I had never thought of it before.
There is so much evil surrounding Islam Is Allah the devil?

Here is some religious mumbo jumbo for ya. Evidently some people think being made in God's image makes us mini gods.All our lives we've heard that we're "made in the image of God." It's a nice thought, and probably one we've clung to when we need a reminder of our own value. But have you ever stopped to think about what it really means? "Made in the image of God" is an audacious claim—and one that probably carries some responsibility with it. We all know we are not gods—though if we're honest, we know we often think we are the god of our own lives, even if we'd never admit it. The truth is, you are not God. But you are godlike. Our confusion about whether or not we are God arises from our godlikeness. It's described in the first chapter of the Bible. Genesis 1:26-27 reveals, "Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, in our likeness' ... So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them." Read more at www.relevantmagazine.com/god/deeper-walk/features/23549-qmade-in-the-image-of-godq#8ojLbJYr98USmh0x.99Personally speaking only, if I were to compare my present state to God, I wouldn't even make it to miniscule godhood!
Christian Science and out American Indians also embrace the idea that God is in all things. Split open a rock and there He is. A lot of Christian commentary argue against this pagan belief, but in light of the discussion about God BARA the heavens in Gen 1:1 this idea of everything consisting of God is not all that bazar.
I guess the pagan part of it is praying to those spirits individually versus directing your prayers to the Great Spirit specifically.

I have reading different things here and at your parent webpage. There are some interesting ideas here, but in my Christian walk over the years I have two basic questions that are never answered to my satisfaction by Church.
If God only does good and only greates good things, then where did evil come from?
The Church is actually suggesting another creative event by another creator. After all, if evil exist (which I am sure we all agree that it does) God did not create it, then someone else did, or it created itself. Again, I say, 2 creative events by two different creators.
If Satan was a glorious angel before he choose to be evil then Satan must have had the FREE WILL to do so; but my Church teaches that angels don't have the FREE Will to choose.
I understand why you call the website pondering confusion, Ant thoughts?

The idea of a Great Contest is not a new idea at all. It is similar to many American Indian theologies.
I agree that the Lord is not also the bad guy, but He did allow the Devil to come into existence for this very purpose.
This world, our animal desires, our physical fears, and our doubts are all products of being physical and therefore of this world. The struggle to rise above this plane is the Contest, of which you speak.
We are spiritual beings that are having a physical experience. It is that physical existence that holds us down, holds us back, keeps us from maturing back into that spiritual realm.
I believe this.

UFO TV Shows
These shows have to have material to report. So they report anything they can get their hands on. As long as there is a hint of (we don't know what we saw) the UFO reports instantly spread. One real report followed by and endless stream of maybe's and could be's just cast doubt on the entire reporting process.
I might believe in UFOs, but just not the 7 thousand endless reports of it might have been.
Repeat a lie long enough and people think it to be real. This is also by design. Report enough stories that the public doubts, then when a real report emerges the doubt remains. Therefore, they can slip UfOs in and out, in the open, and no one believes what they are seeing.
