Sea Otter, I agree that Islam is by far the best documented
of the major religions. I particularly like reading the Koran...lots of good advice in there. I wish I could read it in Arabic as I am told it reads like Shakespeare. Yet here too the beauty of the faith gets corrupted by temporal powers. One only need travel to Pakistan to see the horrible plight of women in that country, let alone travel to Afganistan. This is not what Muhammad teaches, yet it is the historical by-product of years of human interpretation of Islam. I believe in the spiritual, I will not, however, even try to define it. All religion becomes corrupt once man defines it to suit his own purposes. None of us know the REAL TRUTH, it is all just speculation. Any serious study of the origins of religion will lead to that
conclusion...or at least should, in my view.
