Ive never read the Qur'an, but I do know that they think either Jesus was raised up bodily before crucifixion or that he was taken down before and survived it and never died in the first place. Same guy, different role in their religion, he's just another prophet to them. Muhammed is their Lord.
But as we have seen, some radicalized Muslims are willing to fly planes into buildings for this belief, and they are probably wrong in the first place, definitely wrong thinking violence is a spiritual awakening.
If your religion and belief brings you happiness, or gives you hope, or helps you understand this seemingly un-understandable world we live in, thats a great gift and leaves you better off than many wandering around aimlessly. So long as it doesnt hurt anyone else.
I dont think id find that in any religion, but my own, Catholic, because I was raised and went to Catholic school.
Meditation ive done. I actually first learned it in Theology class. To be honest, I dont think it did a damn thing for me. Other than keep me focused on doing the meditation every day. I did it every day for well over a year. It just got impossible to maintain. It was originally designed to keep me from jumping out of my seat during ball games/blackjack table.. thats how i restarted it.... lol. I was high strung, and wasnt a druggie. I do like my beer.
It does work, sometimes id float away and get scared where i was sailing to. That went away after awhile
Anyway, What we cant do, is insist that it's my way or the highway, as I said, Hindus have no interest in Jesus but they are just as much Gods people as we are, and have the same rights.
Christianity works for you, seems you are all in. Nothing wrong with that.
Before i get yelled at for particpating in the same conversation everyone else is, let me say, we need to get back to music.
