I'm just curious of what people think about this question. Are religions connected in some way or another? Most all religions have similar 'stories' that match other religions' stories. For example, the great flood. Each religion has it's own way of telling the story, of course, but very similar in the point of the story. So are all religions connected? Does all our different religions stem from one particular religion? If so, which one?

Other questions:

Who actually wrote the "Old Testament"? The Jews? The Muslims? Christians weren't exactly in place at that time....no offense to Christians.

How much of the Holy Bible is correct? Is it literal?

How much of the Holy Qur`an is correct? Is it literal?

Were the parables of Jesus literal or merely examples? How much of each were examples?

Was Mohammed the last prophet?

Why is Mohammed held higher above other prophets?




do you really want us to answer those?

Yes. I would like to discuss this with friends here. NOT for anger or anything of that sort. Just a simple discussion. I've been thinking about many of these questions lately. Just curious of what others think. I like to get other opinions and put it all together to understand. image
