Ah self delusions... Why do 6 million muslims leave Islam every year in Africa alone?
2)Mohammad (PBUH) & Mecca were mentioned in the Bible , Smith & Salt Lake City weren't.
Nonsense, more delusions, NOWHERE in the bible talks about a JEW MUHO!
3)Trinitarianism & Mormonism have a lot in common when it comes to that crowded g^dhead ..making both prime candidates for cult status.
Bah! Mormon God lives on a planet called KOLOB, Allah lives in KABAH!
4)Islam started with revelations in a cave , Judaism started with revelations near a mountain and a burning bush ..in either cases we weren't there ,and quite frankly makes no difference to me how it started ,what does though is how it ended up clicking with every fibre in my body.
Muhammad is noone to compare to Moses... Muhammad was alone when he got the divine or demonic revelation, Moses was not! Authenticity and trustworthiness problems.
on the other hand , what makes you think that your religion is different from Mithraism when:
* you share same concept of 3 in one
*worship on their Sun-day
* the timing of Christmas
*Christians priests becoming 'Father' despite Jesus' specific proscription of the acceptance of such title
All that should tell you that Mithraism & Trinitarianism are actually one religion / cult. and if Mithraism is false then Trinitarianism is too.
