chakrabortty,

It would be helpful if you would attempt to answer some of my questions and concerns. If you can give a "thousand of quotations to oppose your (my) opinion", then why don't you pick a few from them and offer them to me? For you to do so would, of course, go far in proving my point exactly, that there are many, many contradictory statements in all the world's holy books both when compared to each other and even within themselves with the exception of the Bible which contains no self-contradictions, mistakes, or errors. This is one of the important facts which shows that the Bible is truly the written Word of God which came through God's inspired prophets and finally through the Son of God, Jesus Christ incarnate and His apostles (2Tim 3:16,17; Heb 1:1; 2Pet 1:19-21).

Doubtless, I would have to disagree with your rejection of debate as being something less than helpful or valuable. Hearing different views and their defense is most helpful as it causes one to think... something people rarely do these days. If you believe that you can combine all religions into one by extracting what you feel are the "good things," then surely you should be willing to defend that view and show that it is God's will not only for you but for everyone, right? If nothing else, I would really like to know how you decide what is a "good thing" from all these holy books. You must have some criteria which guides you to choose things and reject the rest. So, what are your guidelines that you follow?
