I was working for a Mainframe DB specialist conversion firm in Windsor. The building was a converted nunnery. I was at at my desk and the BBC news site reported breaking news that a plane had hit one of the towers. At first they thought it was a small private plane as that had happened a few years before. The full horror unfolded from there.

So, it's water under the bridge now, andy?

Fundamentally the same story, yes, but without Jesus as the son of God and saviour, although still the product of a miraculous virgin birth.

^that to mozz.

mozz, I don't think you should ever cement yourself to anything. I'm on the next-to-top level of Dawkin's scale of theist/atheist - because nothing can be proved. I just use my intellect (:-() and common sense and reasoning to form a workable view.

Spicerack - // So, it's water under the bridge now, andy? //

When you do as I do, and engage with someone who, when found to be posting nonsense, simply takes a huff and refuses to engage any further, then you find yourself in limbo.

I can't debate with someone who simply walks away and acts like nothing inaccurate was posted, and ignores a challenge to it.

As this thread, and many others show, that is how Naomi operates.

She is fond of castigating others, but when found out to be in error, she simply walks away and returns later acting as though no posts were exchanged.

I can;t argue with someone without the moral fibre to debate like an adult, so yes, it's water under the bridge.

But I have learned a lesson in how to argue with naomi - I look forward to using her own methods with her in the future.

naomi - // PP, of course Mohammed was aware of Judaism and Christianity. That’s where he got his inspiration and information to write the Koran. //

And you know this how exactly?

I'm not looking for an answer, I know you find my demolition of your wild imaginings unpalatable, so feel free 'not to get into it'.

I am simply pointing out for the benefit of others in the debate how you offer suppositions as facts - again.

naomi : "‘Mission Statement’ is a figure of speech."

mission statement: 'A formal summary of the aims and values of a company, organization, or individual.' O.E.Dictionary

So it is all down to interpretation or a form of pilpul : I will need to rectify my oldthink.

Any and all religions are entirely a matter of interpretations.

The problem is, some people on here are keen to project their interpretations as though they are stone cold facts.

But they don't bother with the tedium of defending their position - they simply state, and run.

// engage with someone who, when found to be posting nonsense, simply takes a huff// - you are being unfair to yourself Andy !
ter daaah!

And you know this how exactly?
chrissakes - Miriam appears in the Koran, and muslims recognise Issa as a prophet.
Jesus (*)

Some of it is garbled, so the scholars say he had access to an incomplete inaccurate Bible.

- inspired? - oh words of God - God speaks arabic by the way.
and it cant have been in one night ( too long)
what is wrong with inerrancy? some christians look on the Bible as inerrant, and the translators King James are inerrant too
