    One of the aspects of both Judaism and Islam that I really do appreciate is their rejection of the notion that an individual can have a "personal" relationship with God.

     

    The idea that a mere mortal can enter into such a relationship with an entity that represents the totality of everything in the universe and who was, is, and forever will be is philosophically ludicrous on the face of it.

     

    And don't get me started on the internal laughter that rabbis and imams must have to stifle when someone claims that Christianity is a monotheistic faith in their presence, because it absolutely is not.  Christianity is effectively a Hellenistic religion that "borrowed" a bunch of stuff from the Old Testament to give it some type of foundation.

    American Protestantism is nuts. Hearing a worship song that goes "I love you Daddy" just gave me the creeps.
