And why these verses should boggle you? Father is of course a figurative term, just as my example of sun reflecting in mirror is figurative. None of the verses you copy pasted disprove my argument. In fact they validate it.

I am not a Christian. I love Jesus. I have a personal relationship with Jesus and no ties to any Christian or church. I also don't believe in most of the Bible, which I regard to be mostly fables.

I discovered Jesus when my spiritual eyes were opened. I am older than Jesus and a lot more educated than him I have access to the Internet and have read hundreds of books. I doubt Jesus had read a single book in his life. There were no book in print when he lived. Despite all the advantages that I have compared to Jesus, when I discover a spiritual truth I realize he had spoken of it already. How could he know these things if he was not connected to a spiritual source? They are unfortunately hidden. The Bible is like a gold mine, which means most of it is dirt. You need to have a spiritual eye to be able to see the gold. Miners know that not every rock that shines contain gold.

You say Muslims would rather become atheist than Christian. That is fine with me. I am not here to promote Christianity. When I was an atheist I did not promote atheism. I am a rationalist. I base my beliefs on reason. At this moment I am spiritually a Christian, ethically a Buddhist and philosophically a Hindu. But each person has to choose his or her own path. If atheism is for you, that is fine with me. Even if you are an atheist, I encourage you to be a humanist atheist. Without that moral component, atheism can be very dangerous. Materialistic atheism wreaked havoc in the last century. When I was an atheist, I was a humanist atheist. I don't see anything wrong in that. Now that I have gained a new spiritual insight, it no longer satisfies me. It was a necessary step in my personal evolution.

I will remove any copy paste material Shabeer posts. If he can\'t have a normal conversation like anyone else I will remove him too from the forum.

Islam is a very stupid cult. Muhammad copied his ideas from Judaism and Christianity. Most of the times he was wrong but even when he understood it correctly, he was merely rehashing what he had heard.

But in Christianity there is no death. The body dies but the soul is eternal.

John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.

1 John 5:13-14
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

Proverbs 11:30-31
The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.

That is your definition of God. I have a different understanding of God. The fact that we are eternal means we are God. If we are eternal, it means we are uncreated. If we are uncreated it means we must have existed in God. We are therefore pieces of God in the same way that water molecules everywhere on earth are pieces of the ocean. The ocean does not create rain. It sends out pieces of itself as vapor to bring life to the earth.

You think God is distinct from his creation like a carpenter from what he creates. In my view the creation and God are the same thing. Everything is energy and that energy is God. The universe is conscious and extremely intelligent. Yes you can still pray to God, as I do now. You can still call God your heavenly father, as I do now. But at the same time I know God is in me and I am in God. I am never apart from my source, even though at this moment I am blinded by the dense matter. The purpose of life is to live it. That is all. We don't have to do anything else, but to live our life and be happy, makes others also happy, bring joy and laughter where there is sorrow, bring peace where there is war, bring love where there is hate, bring understanding where there is ignorance, and just be. God is experiencing himself through us, in the same way the ocean experiences the land through the water molecules that it sends out. Imagine that the rain drops bring back to the ocean all their experience.

Without money there is no shooting. So the date of shooting is not something I can decide. If I get commitment today, we will start the pre-production within two or three months, after the legal issues are ironed out and four months after that we will be shooting, which will take about 14 weeks.

The posts must be yours. People don't read your long copy-pastes. Don't you see you don't get any replies? These posts do nothing other than clog this site with spams. Now if you can interact with others and discuss the issues, you are most welcome to post here. You can quote short passages to back your claim. Short means a couple of sentences or a paragraph. But I will delete all your long copy pastes because they are of no value to this site and do not contribute to the discussions. I am sure you don't read them either.

I believe if the movie is made and made right so people want to see it for its artistic value, many Muslims will leave Islam. This movie can open a new chapter in the history of mankind. It is no exaggeration to say Islam will not survive after it. It will of course start a debate on Islam, more moivies will emerge, and eventually all that will lead to the demise of Islam.

Yes I agree that Muslims must be kicked out of the non-Muslim countries, including India and we should tell them to send to us all the non-Muslims and apostates living in Islamic countries. As impractical as this may sound I am afraid it is the only viable and non-violent solution, unless Muslims pull their heads out of the sands and face the truth that the man they believe was a prophet was a madman. However, we should not even entertain the thought of killing. That is lunacy. Expelling Muslims is one thing I fully support, but killing them no.

Dear Emma,

This person whom you call husband says you are materialist for wanting to build a home and think about your future. He is not expressing an extremist view. This is very much the mindset of the mainstream and moderate Islam. Please see see this article where I have shown what the two biggest luminaries of Islam of all times al Gazzali and Rumi denigrated women for thinking of \"material things.\" http://alisina.org/blog/2012/08/03/the-place-of-w...
