Before 9/11, Mosques were never seen or heard about...it seems now they are everywhere. Is it because there are a growing number of disgruntled people in this world?

I am very interested in Buddhism and would like to learn more about it. I have looked for books but I am not sure which are, for lack of a better word, legitimate and will help me to get a better understanding of Buddhism.

I don't usually make such direct strikes at Christianity but this has just been bothering me recently.

All the prophecies about non-believers challenging your beliefs, science bringing up reality that goes against your religion and such ~ don't you realise that it was written that way to give you ammunition against non-believers?

If I were to write such a book, I would include such passages that warn you not to believe people that tell you what you believe is false because they are messengers of [insert opposing deity's name] and will lead your eternal soul into damnation etc etc.

I'm not trying to insult people here, I'm just pointing out that of course there's prophecies like this because the author's thought ahead and wrote things to make you doubt people who (indirectly) challenge your faith.

Obviously this is gonna meet lots of retaliation but please try to answer like an adult.

Thanks
