There were religions long before the bible. Fact is if you want to claim that Islam was invented you have to make the same claim for Christianity because before that there was Judaism and before that many many detailed and documented religions and before that another monotheistic religion that simply disappeared. On another note, Islam does not paint a more flattering picture of humanity in my opinion. Although a heaven filled with virgins is definitely more appealing. :D That is if you follow the will of Allah, the same god as you in a sense. it's just his supposed word or truth that gets mucked up. ;)Quote:
The fact that no one in his right mind would have invented Christianity
is an argument for its supernatural origin. Man made religions (like Islam)
invariably paint a more flattering picture of humanity, while the Bible
relentlessly tells the ugly truth about us. That's why all the world's
<sarcasm>accredited intellectuals</sarcasm> hate it.
