The real teachings of Jesus peace be upon him; taken directly from his mouth. What God told him.
Not what a scholar wrote about what he thought he heard.
No evidence of that at all, though. You can't just make stuff up and then assert it as truth.

These are not 'unified' groups, these are independently functioning cells of differing belief, not to be glossed over in an apologetic.
Actually I agree with you, although that may have been a Freudian slip on your part.
Not Freudian, I don't believe that the deities exist: all theocratic or theological actions are a pretext.

That is exactly the cases with anything you hear. Either religious talk or normal talk. The only way to be certain is to validate what you hear against something. You can never trust "tales" to be true.

Exactly. That's why you should go with the evidence, or if you're not qualified to do that, then either remain agnostic or go with what the experts in the field say.

Not when a verse in the Quran turns my life upside down, and I validated the book against life to find it does actually stand & live up to what it says.
I went with evidence all the way.

So do christians and hindus...I guess all of these faith traditions are simultaneously right while making mutually exclusive claims. lol.
Atlas, if you have evidence that your faith is true...present it. Make that thread, make that case. That's step 1. Claiming to possess evidence, and claiming to have validated your religion by it, is skipping that all important step 1, it's also pretty douchey.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

My curiosity is piqued, what was the life changing verse?

It's a dream I had that came true.
The sura is Sura 12. It's not the same dream of Joseph, but the dream came true.
Insane ? maybe. But the dream came true.

It's not insane, but you have concluded that because an event followed a similar dream, that they are in some way connected, rather than it being a coincidence.
How many dreams have you had that didn't come true?

Make a challenge.
Challenge is answered.
Shit.
Change the challenge.
Act like the biggest twat that's ever lived while staying consistently dishonest.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
Good show, make sure you put the dryer on it's delicate setting.
