    Transcendant Songs

    "Deadhead" by Devin Townsend would be one of my qualifiers (presuming that classical music is excluded here): (listen really loud with good headphones/speakers) Also from the same musician:

    Confused.

    If they're obsessed over graves then they're clearly not Sunni or Shia, they'd be Salafis. For an outsider it's kind of difficult to navigate the Muslim world, your experience is understandable (I'd think the same thing in your place). Respect of family and loved ones is a big thing in proper...

    help me find a community

    The kind of tone I am picking up feels more akin to Vaishnavism (the form of Hinduism that worships Vishnu as the supreme image of God). Although Vaishnavism does have avatar incarnations of Vishnu (the most well-known being Krishna) which is partially like the whole Prophet idea again...

    HaShem & Allah: Identical, substantially the same, or substantially different?

    I agree. I'd also add that if one is limited to the framing of a 'book character', I'd question to whether someone is really worshiping God at all. As for "identical or substantially different", it'd be wiser to start from a perspective that doesn't assume a closed off, canonical "Abrahamic...

    Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you

    Interestingly in the New Testament texts, God basically only gets lip service. With exception to the Apocalypse of St John which is merely a cryptic vision (well, when not seen as an esoteric, gnostic manifesto of the early Christian spiritual vision) with some callbacks to the vision of Ezekiel.

    Say not "Trinity": desist: it will be better for you

    There is no Trinity in the Bible, period.

    IMHO: Debate on "God exists (not)" is not sensible

    Obviously an atheist's semantic assumptions would be different (which is what makes such a statement inherently ironic) but God DOESN'T exist (which is exactly why I am a Theist and reject Atheism wholeheartedly). This is what makes God....God. If God existed, then God would be creation...

    Let there be no compulsion in religion

    Hmmm....do you pray or meditate at all? or do you just read books? I would question what you're doing if you're only reading books....

    Let there be no compulsion in religion

    Yes, well the very concept of forced conversion deeply contradicts the Islamic view on salvation. Salvation is not an outward thing either, the Qur'an itself makes the argument that people deceive each other by calling themselves something for their own advantages. Just read the opening of Surah...

    Manichaeism.

    I don't know about anybody else but I appreciate the Gospel of Mani a lot. Prophet Mani too is quite an inspiring, lesser-known Prophet. Gnostic or not, he had something to say.

    'Apologiz-ing' (1 Pet. 3:15) to Muslims and Islam

    Incorrect, the New Testament writers used the Septuagint, which contains the Apocrypha. This is basic factual history. The "apocrypha" can't be too bad if the New Testament authors quoted from it. Protestants are the only ones who took them out of the canon, Christians before you had and still...

    'Apologiz-ing' (1 Pet. 3:15) to Muslims and Islam

    No, the texts are anonymous and merely a selected handful out of the rest of texts titled "apocrypha". We cannot know what else was lost to history, let alone what took place before Jesus' "death" and the writing of the earliest NT text.

    'Apologiz-ing' (1 Pet. 3:15) to Muslims and Islam

    Sure but random poetry is also written in inspiration of God too, that's not an argument of the authority of a text. The only texts in the Bible that could be argued to have relationship to actual divine revelation are Deuteronomy and Isaiah but even both of those books have their issues of...

    'Apologiz-ing' (1 Pet. 3:15) to Muslims and Islam

    Even Mark itself is written 30 years after Jesus' "death" at the earliest, none of the NT writers were eyewitnesses to Jesus and that itself is the least of Christianity's problems (that itself is a massive problem when there is no Divine Revelation associated with Matthew mark luke and john...

    Apostle Paul?

    It's a complex topic but I think it's that he himself stands for the root over everything bad about Christianity, while at the same time standing for the things that he is claimed to be opposed to. Alongside that his very inclusion in the Bible debunks the Christian idea that Jesus ended...
