That's probably part of why those mythical idols are being actively humanized in contemporary religion. This thread being a good example of that. The god man act is a hard sell, the kindly doddering patriarch, little bit more relatable.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight.

One of the main lessons from this miracle event is that space and time are not subject to the laws of nature for humans.
All religious traditions share the concept of miracles, that is, something that defies logic, nature or established constitution and the course of events.
Allah's legitimate miracles, which are by definition the only true miracles. When the forces of unbelief are strong, the prophetic miracles opposed to them are usually stronger.
The prophet Moses had several miracles, Moses' wand turned into a serpent
By order of God
By command of God Likewise, the Prophet Jesus even had the power Revive the Dead in order to establish his legitimacy before the Jews who would ultimately condemn him to death. Nevertheless, his miracles were undeniable by their nature, and it was only the stubbornness and arrogance of the people to whom he was sent .
Why marvel at the miracles of the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him!
Miracles that he performed were all done with God's power. Moses did similar things, as did some of the apostles. We don't need to imitate that
allah, the Creator of the wonderful universe,
capable of all something, in earth and in heaven,
if he wants do something , be so!
- The miraculous creatures are filled with your holy book, so why object to what is stated in the books of others?
2 Kings 2:11 New International Version (NIV)
11 As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind.

Some people are not ashamed to talk about a legal marriage 1400 years ago, according to people’s traditions, whether in Islam or the Bible, according to that time.
European Judaism - "Child marriage was possible in Judaism due to the very low marriageable age for females. A ketannah (literally meaning little [one]) was any girl between the age of 3 years and that of 12 years plus one day;[4] a ketannah was completely subject to her father's authority, and her father could arrange a marriage for her without her agreement."
Not to mention you can go to Guatemala/Honduras/other South American cultures to
We tell them now look what is happening in the community
Hypocrisy and double standards
How old are the girls in high school?
Our children are too young to marry but they are big enough for turpitude, fornication ...
Sex and adultery are permissible in European countries without marriage, as long as that law does not criminalize this each country according to its laws
The legal age for sexual intercourse varies between European countries, as follows:
14 years in Austria, Germany, Hungary, Italy and Portugal
15 years in Greece, Poland and Sweden
16 years in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, and Russia
17 years in Cyprus
In Britain, the legal age for sex is 16,

Someone told me
I find little to argue with about this. Mohammed was one of the most influential figures in history
The honest, trustworthy, who never lied, and his mercy to the worlds
not only because he inspired a religion, but because that religion swept across the world. During the Dark Ages, Islam led the world in science and technology, and for that reason is entitled to respect. It’s truly a tragedy that certain hateful and war-like factions are giving it such a bad name today.
What famous non-Muslims said about Islam and Prophet Muhammad PBUH
Napoleon Bonaparte
I hope the time is not far off when I shall be able to unite all the wise and educated men of all the countries and establish a uniform regime based on the principles of Quran which alone are true and which alone can lead men to happiness.
Sir George Bernard Shaw
I have always held the religion of Muhammad in high estimation because of its wonderful vitality. It is the only religion which appears to me to possess that assimilating capacity to the changing phase of existence which can make itself appeal to every age. I have studied him - the wonderful man and in my opinion far from being an anti-Christ, he must be called the Saviour of Humanity.
I believe that if a man like him were to assume the dictatorship of the modern world he would succeed in solving its problems in a way that would bring it the much needed peace and happiness: I have prophesied about the faith of Muhammad that it would be acceptable to the Europe of tomorrow as it is beginning to be acceptable to the Europe of today.
H.G. Wells
The Islamic teachings have left great traditions for equitable and gentle dealings and behaviour, and inspire people with nobility and tolerance. These are human teachings of the highest order and at the same time practicable. These teachings brought into existence a society in which hard-heartedness and collective oppression and injustice were the least as compared with all other societies preceding it… Islam is replete with gentleness, courtesy, and fraternity.
Phillip Hitti
During all the first part of the Middle Ages, no other people made as important a contribution to human progress as did the Arabs, if we take this term to mean all those whose mother-tongue was Arabic, and not merely those living in the Arabian peninsula. For centuries, Arabic was the language of learning, culture and intellectual progress for the whole of the civilized world with the exception of the Far East. From the 9th to the 12th century there were more philosophical, medical, historical, religious, astronomical and geographical works written in Arabic than in any other human tongue.
R. Bosworth Smith
He was Caesar and Pope in one; but he was Pope without Pope’s pretensions, Caesar without the legions of Caesar: without a standing army, without a bodyguard, without a palace, without a fixed revenue; if ever any man had the right to say that he ruled by the right divine, it was Mohammed, for he had all the power without its instruments and without its supports. He cared not for the dressings of power. The simplicity of his private life was in keeping with his public life.
Sarojini Naidu
It was the first religion that preached and practised democracy; for, in the mosque, when the call for prayer is sounded and worshippers are gathered together, the democracy of Islam is embodied five times a day when the peasant and king kneel side by side and proclaim: ‘God Alone is Great’

Yeah, it's a shame, islam started out as a relatively progressive social movement - but, as you briefly allude to above..that collapsed. What would you do, or what do you think needs be or should be done, to right the ship and get it back to something like that?
You're probably not going to do anything like that by coming up with excuses for a pedo, imo. Or by insisting that a warlord was an example of a man improved by a god. Just doesn't play well. The child bride and the battles spoke to his wealth and virility and authority then - but those things aren't seen to be acceptable by the people you're speaking to - now. Different cultures, different times.

That's the point, Mohammed was immoral by today's standards because he married a 6-year-old girl, and as you admit that it is outdated "morality" so Mohammed's teachings have no place in today's world, and mere mortal godless people have come up with much better morality without the use of Quran where fewer people suffer.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Quote:I confess that Bonaparte frequently conversed with the chiefs of the Mussulman religion on the subject of his conversion; but only for the sake of amusement. The priests of the Koran, who would probably have been delighted to convert us, offered us the most ample concessions. But these conversations were merely started by way of entertainment, and never could have warranted a supposition of their leading to any serious result. If Bonaparte spoke as a Mussulman, it was merely in his character of a military and political chief in a Mussulman country. To do so was essential to his success, to the safety of his army, and, consequently, to his glory. In every country he would have drawn up proclamations and delivered addresses on the same principle. In India he would have been for Ali, at Thibet for the Dalai-lama, and in China for Confucius.

A trickster god or hero? There are tons of them. They seem to be one of our favorite types.
