Yes. I have read the Koran and didn't find it anywhere near the horror story that some people here have made it out to be. It is no more violent than the Bible and some parts of it were downright inspirational.
I am a very devout Christian and not interested in converting. However, I do believe that Allah is the same God that the Jews and Christians believe in. Islamic people should be respected more.

The e book (on the taboo antagonistic to understanding who you're) by using Alan Watts I study this popular even as it first got here out in paperback, which changed into interior the Sixties. I study it again, as I remember, even as i changed into in college interior the early Nineteen Seventies. It affected me profoundly, rather as i turned right into a philosophy major and rather experienced in interpreting deeply precis and analytical textbooks. the following changed into one which stated issues in undeniable English and used metaphors and illustrations i ought to understand without an psychological conflict. It spoke to the depths of me. i'm no longer certain about the comforting section, although. It will develop as many questions because it solutions. notwithstanding it is the nature of Zen, that is the popular idea for The e book. As you ought to comprehend, Alan Watts had a diverse history in non secular progression, and changed into able to be certain issues from countless diverse cultural viewpoints. perchance that is what made his insights so powerful.

Yes.
I'm a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. (I mention that so you will know which holy books I believe in: The Bible, the Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price.)
I have read the Koran, in English translation. (Yes, I know that Muslims think that it's not really holy unless you read it in Arabic, but I don't know Arabic.)
I have read the Tao Te Ching.

I've read as much religion and philosophy as I can get my hands on, to at least have an idea of what the varying beliefs are, though I wouldn't say I've studied them to any depth.
I tried reading Crowley, but my head hurt after the first couple of pages (what was he ON, anyway?).

My family is Christian, but I consider myself a bit of a universalist. I have extensively read the Bible/Torah and the Koran. I have also read some of the Hindu Vedas and Confucian Analects.

Yes. I think it's a terrific experience and the only way to have even a slight idea as to how the world works today.

I have read many of them, and yet I have found all very deficient.
They all talk about man trying to get good enough to be accepted by God.
However, The Bible says NO ONE can be good enough by their own efforts to please God. All are sinners.
That's why God sent Jesus to pay the price for our sins.
Have your ever acknowledged you are a sinner and need forgiveness, my friend?
