Abdullah,
understanding that Jesus was 100% Man and 100% God would be a step in trying ot figure out some your questions. Christ is the word made flesh, which refers to both humanity and divinity.
On your point about praying, what could be relaxing in reciting verses that more than half of the people saying it do not understand. Isn't mastering the arabic language a prerequisite to learning Islam ( i thought the word of God was universal). Don't most islamic scholar hide being the fact the the Qu'ran cannot be fully translanted or understood, unless in Arabic? I certainly would not want to be talking to my God, if I dont even understand what I am saying to him.
as far as the corruption of the bible please read:

If we are going to discuss those topics, please let's use our God given talents: intelligence, although mere, and unable to grasp him. Let try to analyze what we say, before we say it, and not just spit out thing we certainly do not understand. Furthermore, it is a given that any text, taken out of its context is left at the appreciationand comprehension of all. If we are to bring up bible text, please let's not forget the context. The bible is a collection of stories(i.e. with a context), unlike tje Qu'ran which is a collection of verses. We have to be able to make the difference there, before we even go forward. These discussions can be very interesting when intelligent, if not , they lose any kind of interest.
