The site software is very ill and the site is dying. Could you place your hands on it please and bring it back from imminent death? I'm sure Alex and all the members would very much appreciate it.

PS. Can I still go to heaven as an atheist if I promise to bow and grovel enough? Huh? Huh? Please?

Does that mean that the Muslims and the Christians are really best friends?

Huh? How does that relate to what I said? When did I claim that a particular religion was absolute?

The opposite of relative is absolute. The opposite of eclectic is independent.

Saying that something is eclectic is vague. The more common term used in my field is syncretist. What do you believe that the Baháʾí Faith "eclectically" combined?

Perhaps the confusion is over whether or not it is an incorporated in a timeline, or it just a bunch of various beliefs tossed together, however I'm not even making the distinction.

Some Hindus try to incorporate various faiths into an incarnation timeline (whether they agree or not), as part of Hindu Nationalism. So this technique can be used for various ends.

It is a 'chapter', not necessarily the latest depending on who you ask.

I love Christians. The Quran says that the closes people to you muslims are the Christians. We are friends when we belive in the same God. There is one God. We are monotheists, supposed to be.

Tall man. I mean that you bow to Allah. And that I belive actually that Atheists are 50% muslims. Becausee the Islamic creed is: "There is no God" and " except Allah".

The opposite of independent is dependent, not eclectic.

Perhaps, wholly original and not incorporating previous faiths, would be a better description of what these faiths are not.

I dont like the taste of swine therefore I dont eat it. Some humans can be called swine. I belive it is saying that it is them that you shouldnt eat when the world goes under (as nominalists bahai faith says). Noone is going to rope you down if you eat swine (pork).

Definetly. It is written in the Quran that need breaks all laws.
