Quote:If you bare with me and listen to me i think i can explain why this is totally ridiculous.
I can explain it even more quickly: If take an ignorant, illiterate man, put him in a state of severe distress to the point where he is hallucinating ("The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it any more"), and believe that hallucination demands he read from a book, he's going to make up whatever crazy shit he thinks is going to make the pain stop. And, since he is illiterate and ignorant, he's probably going to think it all really happened. And, if he is charismatic enough, he can convince other ignorant illiterates to believe him and follow him on a 14 centuries long orgy of violence, conquest and suppression.
Look at that, Occam's Razor just cut a bitch.
