Split Thread Scorpion's Spiritualism

JayUtah said:
How many Muslim countries have you lived in, Scorpion? Please give me an actual number. You throw a lot of shade on the Qur'an and Islam. I guess that's part of your online character. But consider that the sources you're citing for your religion are circus side-show acts at best. At worst it's just you making stuff up as you go. People who live in crystal balls shouldn't throw rocks.

The very fact there are Muslim countries is a tragedy. I don't have to go there because I have the Quran and it is clear to me it is not the word of God. Therefore Muhammad was a liar. His motives were clearly to aggrandise himself and have people follow him, and fight and die for him. I could quote plenty of verses to support that claim, but I don't want my thread to wander off topic. It should be sufficient to say there is an entire surah (chapter 8) in the Quran about dividing the spoils of war, and Muhammad demands one fifth of the spoils. What true prophet of God would set people at war, and demand spoils of war?

Do you actually think that the mediums gave you an exhaustive list of spiritual masters? And that there only two? Otherwise, maybe they just didn't get around to mentioning Muhammad.

You ask me for a list of all of Snow White's dwarves. I answer, "Sleapy, Sneezy, Dopey, Doc, Bashful, and Grumpy." Do you automatically assume that Happy was not a dwarf, or that he was a false dwarf?

I think you're reading your own social prejudices into what you were told by mediums. Did you ever ask, "What about Muhammed?" I doubt you did.

No I never asked spirit guides about Muhammad. I was not interested in him until the 9/11/01 WTC attack. Up until then I had not read the Quran. I started reading it with an open mind thinking it would be spiritual, but soon discovered it is mainly plagiarism from the bible, and it has horrible verses about hell that were clearly made up to scare people.
I can tell for myself that Muhammad was no messenger of God without having to ask any mediums.

That's a long-winded way of admitting you don't have any actual experience with Islam or the people who practice it. I know many Muslims personally who are ten times more honest and humble than you are. Spare us the rants on topics you don't understand.

Lying is allowed in Islam, and all Imams lie when they say the Quran says the sun orbits the galaxy. It actually says the sun orbits the earth. But they will never admit that because it would be the end of their false religion.

None of that has the slightest to do with what I posted. For someone who doesn't want his thread to run off-topic, you're falling all over yourself to throw shade on a side issue you have no experience with.

They you admit that you're no longer talking about anything spiritual or any revealed truth to you about reincarnation and experience and such. You're just talking about your own personal prejudices.

Sui generis. And if you ask me, Jesus and Muhammed are more of the same genus than Buddha and either of them. "They both taught non-violence" is not persuasive. In terms of the relevant concepts of souls and the afterlife, Buddhism doesn't mesh at all with Christianity. Yet those are the major traditions from which he seems to be drawing his tidbits.

And, it turns out, he didn't. So what we have is Scorpion's seething hatred of Islam infiltrating what he wants to say are authoritative "trance" declarations from the prophets of his religion. The question is not whether Islam is good, or whether Scorpion knows about Islam or approves of it. The question is what the mediums think of it, from their supposedly clear view of the spirit world. Scorpion simply reads into their silence what he wants to hear. And yes, it's quite suspicious that the "trance mediums" -- generally Western folk -- seem to know of no other wisdom traditions than those considered generally popular among New Age type westerners.

I comment on the above on my thread about the Quran.
 
Well now, folks, you're all trying to argue with the ravings of a self-confessed -- rather proudly self-confessed! -- madman. This thread will never move forward, it can only revolve endlessly around the poor old ego at its center.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves have been mentioned. Why not a discussion of them, their origins and possible meanings? There's way more respectable literature about that topic than there is about the dreary dead end of spiritualisticoid fraud.

And by respectable literature, I do NOT mean Robert Mumbling Graves.

So your critics here are swine? And your made-up nonsense is the pearls? Are all spiritualists this smug and arrogant? Or just you?

Why don't you take your grandmonther's advice? Why do you come here day after day knowing that no one will receive your omniscient wisdom? Your entire performance here seems to be exactly to cast your pearls, perhaps just so you can have someone to call swine. Am I close?
