Under Invasion now

AbRah,

They are very nice and sweet to me. They are sweet to evevryone but sweeter to me specially.  No, they are not of the types you mentioned.

They just want to make a Christian out of me.  Jesus was himself not a Christian, so how could one try to make me one?

herjihad,

Assalaam Alaikum,

So far, from my past experience, after meeting me once, no evangelist has ever returned back with answers to my questions.

But the problem is these noble souls are living right above my ceiling!  Anyway, I have no choice but to love my vertical neighbours and I will tell them that Islam teaches that one should not just love the neighbour only but also the relatives, distant relatives, the man in distress, even travellers in the journey, the needy and the poor.

BR & Good Night

I live on the 16th storey and there are four apartments to a floor. Out of the blue, four nice Evangelists have moved in and taken up the four apartments on the 17th storey. As I entered my lift lobby this evening, I was greeted by my four new happy and smiling vertical neighbours. I returned their greetings but made a mistake of extending greetings upon greetings. They invited me to come up and hear the word of the Lord. They asked me if I believed in God. I kept quiet. Important Note: There are two things that I admire most about Jesus, one he would keep quiet after he had said something or was asked something silly and the other when he said not to worry. They asked me if I was a Muslim or a Hindu and it was then I said,"You mean, the Holy Cow and the Holy Trinity of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiv!" They said,"No, brother! We will show you the true Trinity and you will be surprised." One of them already gave me the example of Water, Ice and Vapour, which I refuted in the lift and they have invited me to their preaching on Thursdays at their place, where I will be taught and shown the way by their experts. I will report on the teachings and the progress as and when I can.

Bismillah,

More power to you!  Thanks for all of YOUR anti-evangelizing efforts, Brother!  I got tired of that a ways back. (That's hick talk in case y'all hadn't spotted it.)

Since you guys have to wait till the next Thrusday, here is something interesting from the Hindu mythology. In order to understand this, one must keep John in mind for his famous opening sentence "In the beginning there was the Word."

The Hindu mythology explains what the Word was:

Brahma is the Creator and naturally he created everything. Then he made two more gods Vishnu and Shiv. Vishnu loved destruction so he took on the portfolio of being the god of Destruction. Shiv, perhaps loved sex and became god of Sex.

One day, while all the three were busy with their affairs, Time came to Brahma and said,"I am going to come over you." Brahma replied, "You fool, how can you threaten me?"

Time said, "Watch out! I shall come upon you and inflict you for three days."

Brahma replied,"Very well, go ahead and try to come upon me, no harm will come to me and you cannot do anything to me."

Time said,"Ok! Brahma, your time starts tomorrow and you will never realise that you will be under me for three days." That will be your worse time!

After Time left, Brahma immediately created an ocean of murky and extremely salty waters above himself, so deep that nothing could penetrate to harm him and sat there for three days waiting for Time to come and inflict him.  There was no sign of Time and nothing happened to Brahma at all.

After three days, Brahma removed the ocean protective cover and called for Time to appear before him. Time came and asked Brahma,"Yes?"

Brahma said, "I waited three days for you and there was no sign of you and nothing happened."

Time replied,"I had covered you for three days and forced you to sit deep down in the ocean of salty and murky waters." That was Me.

So, according to Hindu mythology, in the beginning there was nothing and the Word was Time or Time was the Word.
