Is Islam A Death Cult?

[The Grand Nudger]

I’m not sure I’m getting your point this time. You forget I’m not a native. In fact I’m as non-American as “an English man in New-York”
 
Still: Personal convictions are always different. In fact, we are different.

We're not going to find universal religious truth in the ways that we're different, obvs.  

 
One example is the occult: I don’t visit astrologers, I never spent a dime on coffee readings but another famous author from the 70’s is Carlos Castaneda. He wrote books on Native American occultism with the use of herbs to gain extra sensorial perceptions. İn his book he meets a shaman who teaches him the old shamanic secrets. He does things like astral projections, he communicates telepathically, and he transforms himself into a crow (like the tale of witches who were able to transform themselves into cats etc.).
 
So I happen to believe in these things too.

Another issue is extraterrestrial life. A straight scientist will simply say that this is not possible. Why? – Because nothing is faster than the speed of life which is 300,000 km/s. So even with a sophisticated spaceship like that, we cannot get to the nearest star without spending 5 years in the interstellar void. So I know it’s crazy, but I am part of those who believe that things like the movie called “Contact” (1997 – Jodie Foster) could happen at some point in our history.
 

Your sacred reality doesn't appear to be exhausted by the abrahamic god.  Your god is in there, sure, but so is this other stuff.  Does islam exhaust sacred reality?  Is it's god a universally applicable idea?

More fundamentally, is the answer to the question of how many gods there are and who those gods prophets are actually relevant to universal religious truth in the first place?

-As an example. I think a candidate for universal religious truth is the moral import of healing. Tell me, what does the number of gods and the name of prophets have to do with that? What is allahs relationship to witchcraft?
