Dirt worship will never be better than dirt. The author of creation would be ashamed of you.
Hell, I;m ashamed for you....and I don;t even believe in genies.

Have fun with that..but in the interim..don;t you think it might be helpful to honestly appraise what you worship? Not a god, but the claim of a human king.

That's all you have to say. Good.

And it can be translated as such that is how the word is, it's defined by context, some places it refers to God other places not, like when Adam wanted to be one of the exalted ones, that would be a better translation then "gods".
It's just like the word worship in Arabic can mean serve or the word prayer can mean just call like a normal call to someone, like "hey you". You need context.

Wicca, in general, is at least more interesting to me than the Abrahamic religions that dominate so much of the world.
I have no real interest in it, but it seems to be better than most belief systems.

At least they're not burning Muslim villages and slaughtering women and children like some religious folk.

Well, figment of my imagination or not, I've gotten an incredible amount of creative mileage from it over the past 19 years.  At the very least I'm dealing with a Jungian archetype that I've tagged with the name Oðinn and that's been a useful role model.

Quote:The Muslim world has been trying hard (but failing every time) to obscure the correct meaning of John 1:1 since this is one of the clearest and more explicit passages supporting the absolute Deity and eternal Personhood of the Lord Jesus Christ. Muslims also want people to erroneously believe that the only verse that comes closest to establishing the doctrine of the blessed Trinity is 1 John 5:7, a passage which many Biblical scholars believe to be a later interpolation by a copyist. However, such is not the case since the teaching of the Trinity is based on the overall teachings of the Holy Bible, and not on some isolated and scattered references that are found here and there. In fact, what we find is that as more investigations are made into the Greek texts of the New Testament the Deity of Christ becomes more firmly established (http://deityofchrist.com/). Muslims must therefore realize that Christians clearly see through their petty attempts of distorting the message of God’s preserved Word, the Holy Bible, and will not put up with the games that their apologists and polemicists try to play with the inspired text of Holy Scripture.

I’ve wondered why Islam feels the need to address Jesus at all. It’s almost as though the NT presents a problem or dilemma for the Islam story to have an effect. So, Muhammad told half truths about Jesus and caused reasonable doubt among the masses who believed that he died and rose from the dead. Muhammad isn’t mentioned in the Bible, as a prophecy of a next prophet. Just being objective, it stands to reason that Muhammad couldn’t ignore the OT and NT beliefs so he spun them to suit his agenda. I find certain parts of Islam to be beautiful but concocting a new story about Jesus just doesn’t make sense and doesn’t seem true.
