You're kidding !

Thor was a much revered god of the ancient Germanic peoples and Thor is the son of Odin. But "God" is actually the personification of myth ! Many people will think that I am denigrating for the reason that in the eyes of a lot of people, myth and religion are two different things. In my opinion the word "religion" is synonymous with a fiction.

All religions are myths. Rather than seeing Islam in terms of historical truth, I see it as a myth. The stories in the Old Testament Book are but a reflection of much older myths that were told in ancien Egypt and Mesopotamia. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, as christianity maintains ..is the personification of myth ! A tradItional tale , a lie . THOR is the son of Odin. Jesus Christ is the son of God : I don't apply double standards. I put on the same level.

You are kidding ! Yes ! "the goal is to get rid of delusion, at last, in order to move forward"
but what you say is valid in this particular case ( Muslim religion) and IN ANY CASE (Judaism, christian religIon, Buddhism etc..)
