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. Thu, 22 May 2014 19:51:53 +0000 http://alisina.org/blog/2014/05/14/trinity-for-dummies/#IDComment833865926 http://alisina.org/blog/2014/05/14/trinity-for-dummies/#IDComment830298011 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.

If he can\\\'t have a normal conversation like anyone else I will remove him too from the forum.

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 5:13-14I 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 11:30-31The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, and he who wins souls is wise.

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. <br /> <br /> 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.\\\" <a href="http://alisina.org/blog/2012/08/03/the-place-of-women-in-islam/" target="_blank">http://alisina.org/blog/2012/08/03/the-place-of-w...</a> Sat, 9 Mar 2013 20:09:14 +0000 http://alisina.org/blog/2013/03/07/how-can-i-save-my-marriage-with-my-muslim-husband/#IDComment590799189 http://alisina.org/blog/2013/03/07/how-can-i-save-my-marriage-with-my-muslim-husband/#IDComment590788302 \\\"The day we even wipe out 100 million muslims ,other muslims may start questioning their religion \\\" Never! Apart from the fact that wiping out any number of people let alone millions and 100 million is sheer lunacy that only befits sociopaths like Hitler and Muhammad, killing Muslims will never make other Muslims to question their faith. I am not promoting pacifism. If Muslims attack us we have to fight back with ex proportionate force. The idea is not to retaliate but to stop them in their track. However to end Islam violence is not the means. We can only eliminate this curse be exposing its lies. We don\\\'t raise a sword against darkness. We lit a light.

I don\\\'t blame your family for disowning you. But they will accept you again. Just go to them, tell them what you told us and you\\\'ll see that their arms will be open to embrace you. At such a young age, you don’t deserve this much torment in your life. Go to your parents and stay there. Also go to your church and try to feel the real human love people have for each other, without hypocrisy and show. I felt that love when I used to go to a church even though I was not a Christian and did not tell anyone I am not. Call your old friend and reconnect. You need to restore your broken heart and relive the good time you had before putting yourself in this trap with his man. Things are not going to get better with him. Once you have a child, your real ordeal begins. Get out of this abusive relationship ASAP. Don’t wait until the next day. What if by accident you get pregnant? You don’t want to destroy another innocent person’s life. Sat, 9 Mar 2013 10:52:34 +0000 http://alisina.org/blog/2013/03/07/how-can-i-save-my-marriage-with-my-muslim-husband/#IDComment590422498 http://alisina.org/blog/2013/03/07/how-can-i-save-my-marriage-with-my-muslim-husband/#IDComment589699473 I am sorry to say but the problem in India did not start in 1973. It started in 1947. Although I have a great respect for Gandhi and he has been a great inspiration in my life, along with Abraham Lincoln, Mother Theresa, Mandela, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I must admit that he mislead the Indians into complacency. He himself was a misguided man and did not know the truth about Islam. But he started the policy of appeasement in India that if not reversed will it eventually destroy that great country. You say India has the highest concentration of malnourished children and the Indian government can find over $150 million dollars every year to finance hajj of its Muslim citizens. If this is not treason what it is? One dollar a day can feel a child. With $$360 dollars you can feed a child for an entire year. This means the money that can feed close to half a million children is given to the Saudis. Shame on your treasonous politicians. Shame on these bastards who play with the lives of innocent children to receive Muslims vote. These traitors deserve death penalty.

Teaching tolerance seems the noblest thing. But reality is different. Not all cultures are the same. A culture that believe in equality of men and women, in human rights, in freedom of speech, in democracy, in free enterprise, in equality of opportunities and not equality of achievements, is superior to a culture that believes women are animal or less than men, that does not allow free thinking and free speech and believes the human laws should be god given, that practices stoning, beating, beheading and does not allow any criticism. Peace is better than war but not at all cost. We all know the price of the peace accord that Chamberlain signed with Hitler. It cost 60 million lives. The short sighted and stupid people cheered Chamberlain when he returned to Britain from Germany, holding a piece of paper in his hand, boasting of having achieved \\\"peace in our time.\\\" That short lived peace cost millions of lives. Only stupid people repeat the same mistake twice. Islam is more dangerous than Nazism. Muslims are more violent than the Nazis. We would be fooling ourselves if we believe we can live in peace with them when they believe in a religion that calls for our subjugation and destruction. Muslims will never have peace with non-Muslims. They cannot have peace even with each other. They kill more of each other than they kill the non-Muslims. As long as Islam exists the world will not see peace. We have to awaken the world and make them realize that Islam is the enemy.

Politicians lie. They blame the \\\"extremists\\\" and not the Quran and Muhammad. Most people don\\\'t have interest in religoin and don\\\'t investigate. That is why I want to make this movie about Muhammad - a movie that not only entertains but also informs and awakens. With this movie things will change and the whole world will start taking about Islam.

India must reclaim its Hindu identity and may be even change its name to Hindustan.

No other country does such thing. Not a single Muslim country pays for the hajj. Muslims see this as the sign of weakness and rightly so. There is no other way to understand this except cowardice and appeasement? Since when this is going on?

There is nothing wrong in eating vegetarian. I can eat meat but I choose to be vegetarian because it is more humane and healthier. You can eat meat in you home. This is a silly excuse to demand privileges.

What the Indian government is doing is only cowardice and Muslims can clearly see that. Anyone can see that.
