Well , it's just been bothering me alot , that Islam (and Christianity) are so universally proclaimed as the monotheisitic religions of Abraham where Idol worship is not condoned ...etc etc, Yet Islam has elevated --->the Koran & it's scripture to a new height of Idolatry in men's minds . Just listen to our Christian brother here and his blind devotion to his idol-->The Bible . That's amore, and that's idolatry...I'll let the learned doctors and clerics ponder that for a few centuries. I was just making a simple point of that only , perhaps. It's conceptual, but none the less just as real , on another plane of understanding idolatry. A blind devotion to something/anything constitutes idolatry. And yes, books do kill ,in the hands of holy and pious men. Was Mohammed the last prophet of God ? He did forbid the worship of Idols, but in his ignorance created a religion that grew on to be a huge fierce moving, monolithic --->idolatry of the book. The idolatry of "Sacred" scripture & the book...rigidly enforced so nothing can grow. Look at Islam , fastest dying empire the world ever has seen . Only oil saved much of it, and technology from the west... and for that they should be somewhat grateful. I have read single poems , and lines in plays that contain as much meaning as 20 pages of the bible or suriahs in the koran . Blind devotion to anything is Idolatry. Yes , some parts of life are like heaven , I trust you know what I mean... want to write a new Koran together ? It shouldn't take more than 40 days & nights down in Joshua Tree. <g> Got inspiration ? Got goats milk ? ;-)
