Any religion that convinces people to use violence against peaceful people is fundamentally flawed.

"married" an eight year old

She was 6. He fucked her when she was 9, and the dude was 53. This guy is what Muslims call "the perfect human being", and they make all kinds of excuses for what he did. Just utterly depraved.

The Bible says that God speaks to people in dreams.

Appeared directly to Solomon

other prophets not sure if a dream or a vision or real.

When there are prophets among you, I the Lord make myself known to them in visions; I speak to them in dreams. Not so with my servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house. With him I speak face to face— clearly, not in riddles; and he beholds the form of the Lord.

Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of his father David; only, he sacrificed and offered incense at the high places. The king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there, for that was the principal high place; Solomon used to offer a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night; and God said, “Ask what I should give you.”

"Islam" is better understood as a hijacked version of Solomon's life and example, imo.

make no mistake, false prophets like mohammed are supernaturally inspired.

or they really did just make it all up

anyone can lie. how far a lie goes depends on external factors.

Satan is real, he makes real efforts to destroy God's plans, Islam is one such effort.

Or... They have mental illness and are delusional. Delusions are worse that lies because the believer REALLY, REALLY believes the shit they are selling.

It's highly dependent on what is meant by "peaceful people." There's no lack of bloodshed in the old testament, but I assume Christians will rationalize, and so, too, will adherents of other faiths.

Christians only care what Christ says. And Christ basically said forget about the Old Testament.

I guess his referencing OT laws, prophets, and scripture = forget about the OT? I wasn't hating on the OT, just commenting on OP's statement.

Just because its in the old testament doesnt mean god condoned it... divorce is a key example.

you must have never heard of the crusades

The crusades were mostly justified defensive wars against Muslim invaders. Some local political leaders took advantage of them in the later Crusades, but the earlier ones were completely justified.

Pretty sure Jesus had nothing to do with the crusades. You are referring to the Catholic church and other earthly powers.

Even atheists rationalize the most dangerous faith of all:

What does the old testament have to do with Christianity?

tetelestai 1 point ago +1 / -0

A huge amount considering the whole bible is one distinct and complete message.

SellTheSun 1 point ago +1 / -0

Do you not realize that the religion of the old testament was Judaism and in the New Testament Jesus nullifies the old law? Instead of following Jesus, the the Jews did not recognize him as the Messiah and stuck to the old law - and everyone who followed Jesus Christ became a CHRISTian.

This is all very basic stuff in Christianity.

Nothing. It comes from Judaism.

They get shit done though. Gotta give them that.

Now western countries live in fear of them. Have to talk and tread carefully, because if you upset them you know there will probably be violent consequences. And now we’re letting them set up their own courts, live outside of society etc. It even makes them immune to crime because police are too scared to investigate. Almost no western leader has the balls to just say ‘no’.

Any system built on lies must suppress the truth. The more fundamental lies are to the system, the more suppression must be used.

Another reason why Hitler respected Islam.

Hitler was nice about Islam because he wanted to destabilise the Middle East One, it was a source of British power, influence, and war materiel. Two, it was a potential homeland for European Jews. Hitler had several plans to relocate Jews before war broke out, including what would eventual become Israel and Madagascar.

Hitler would've cosied up to literally anyone to achieve what he wanted for the German people. Look how cosy he was with Stalin for a time and he absolutely detested Bolsheviks.
