Without delving too deeply into Religions, the one point that I usually make when it comes to how human beings interpret the religion that they were brought up in, is to consider carefully the NATURE OF THE DEITY THAT THEY REGARD AS CENTRAL TO THEIR PARTICULAR RELIGION AND TO THEIR BELIEFS. Any religion's Deity is considered to be UNFATHOMABLE, UNKNOWABLE, UNDECIPHERABLE, etc, etc, .... and also INFINITE IN ALL RESPECTS, INSOFAR AS HUMAN BEINGS KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THESE RELATED CONCEPTS. And CENTRAL to any religion's Deity is that the Deity IS ALSO THE CREATOR ..... of EVERY SINGLE COMPONENT OF THE WORLD, UNIVERSE, COSMOS, .... you name it. So, taking ALL OF THE ABOVE INTO ACCOUNT .... If that Deity is the Creator of all human life, and that Deity's FEELING FOR ANY OF ITS CREATION IS INFINITE IN ITS LOVE FOR THAT CREATION, then how could that Deity EVER HAVE FAVOURITES AMONG ITS CREATIONS ? How could that Deity ever CONDONE OR ENCOURAGE THE KILLING OF ONE OF ITS CREATIONS BY ANOTHER OF ITS CREATIONS ? So, when bearded, brainwashed imbeciles talk about acting on behalf of "Allah" they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about, and nor do they have the slightest inkling of the concept of a DEITY. And that is the tragedy of certain sects within the Islamic religions because they take young, innocent, fertile minds and they BRAINWASH THEM TO THE Nth DEGREE WITH ALL THAT ANTI-HUMAN CRAP. It brings to mind what someone said over 2000 years ago, "It would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be thrown into the sea than to cause one of these little ones to stumble." Think how unlikely a human father or mother would encourage one of their offspring to kill another of their offspring .... then PUT THAT INTO CONTEXT WITH REGARD TO A DEITY INFINITE IN ALL RESPECTS. My understanding of one of the "relationship" aspects between the Deity and its human creation is that the human being HAS BEEN GIVEN FREE WILL to do with as it pleases, be that good or bad. The Deity doesn't interfere. After all, FREE WILL can't be FREE if there are "strings attached". Needless to say, there are always consequences for one's actions, be those actions good or bad ..........
