We're getting into some of the more controversial stuff in part 4 of my reading of the the Islam section of the World Religions All-In-One for Dummies book. The Muslim religion of Islam is the first of my deep dives into all of the major world religions. As I finish each section/each religion I will give my takeaways on what I agree with, what doesn't align with me, and what if anything I directly disagree with. If you want to check the book out yourself there is a link below. As always I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments. (At least have listened to some of the video before responding tho lol)
Thanks for swimming these deep waters with me!

The Muslim religion of Islam is the first of my deep dives into all of the major world religions. Starting (literally) with the Islam section of the World Religions All-In-One for Dummies book. As I finish each section/each religion I will give my takeaways on what I agree with, what doesn't align with me, and what if anything I directly disagree with. If you want to check the book out yourself there is a link below. As always I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

You don't need to believe in God, or divinity at all, to know that Jesus was the greatest man to ever walk the earth. He lived the ethics and morals he preached. He followed the rules and guidelines he taught. He was a kind and humble servant to others, and willingly paid the price for exposing the hypocrites taking his God's name in vain. Self-sacrifice for the greater good. Truth regardless of consequences. The acceptance of personal responsibility and duty even when it’s not easy. “Take up your cross and follow me”.

That, my friends, is why Jesus was, is, and always will be the greatest of all time.

I speak on the heavy personal responsibility of spiritual leaders, and potential repercussions if they are leading their flock down the wrong path. I touch on the influence of legitimate people like Alex O'Connor, Jordan Peterson, and Wesley Huff and also the "false prophets and intellectuals" on social media like Billy Carson that either intentionally, or out of ignorance, spread falsehoods as facts for attention and profit.

In this episode I lay out the thought process that convinced me that all that exists in this universe, and how it has evolved, is the product of an intelligence and done with intent. I also posit that you don't need to prescribe to a religion to believe in creation. Call that intelligence Creator, Creators, God, Gods, or whatever fits your own personal preference.

Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments!!!

I started this with the intention of figuring out who, or what, God is to the best of my ability. I knew it was ALOT to ask of myself. A few days ago the reality of the burden of that big ask hit home. But I still believe the "juice is worth the squeeze" as the saying goes. I'm REALLY interested in hearing your input on this stuff, and look forward to discussing it.
