This topic is pretty amusing to me because it reflects some of the thoughts that went through my mind when my religion teacher was telling us about the “miracles” of the prophets. I was a skeptical kid that asked a lot of questions and I wondered how these extraordinary claims could actually be real. Why don’t these “miracles” happen anymore?

Where do I start?… There are just so many things wrong with what Mohammad practiced and preached. Muslims believe him to be a great prophet that is wise and pure, but if a man like that existed today, many people would have a really big problem. (more…)
