I am not religious but it is interesting how religious extremism has become such a powerful force in all of the world’s relgions. It used to be that there was a kind of Galileo effect where religions wanted to prove that they could exist with science in a modern technological world. Now it seems the whole coexistence with science has gone by the boards and the only question a religion has is what century it wants to lead its adherents back to.

Again, don’t trust my opinion, but I understand removing digg is more than a trivial exercise.

demi, in my attempt to learn about Islam, I’ve read several books, like Armstrong, Esposito, and listened to a college course on tape, can’t remember the prof’s particulars. Also read a bio of Muhammad, but must confess in full disclosure, I chose the one by the French atheist, Maxine Rodinson, because I thought it would be the most fun. So if your bil has a reading suggestion, I’d appreciate it.

Ah! Thanks, eCAHN and dmac. Why is the DIGG icon still present? (I know. I’m way off topic. For someone who spent much of her professional life working in/for/of The Church, probably just as well.)

thanks.

just saying, have a ‘reference’ that is a reference. not an interpretation, but an illuminary literary type of book that will add information, not interpretation. so you can make your own interpretations as you learn the text.
i had a good one for the bible, but didn’t have it until i was in my 40’s after i had already read and studied it for many years. was helpful in linking similar passages and references and geographic locations and family lines, but be careful to ignore ‘opinion’. many religious text guides are ripe with people who write them solely to convert and sway. but there are some that are to be used solely for reference. i’m sure your broinlaw would know of one.

maybe peterr does.
