Observations # 25

While two of the greatest religions of the world are based on their respective books of sacred texts, the Bible in the case of one and the Quran in the case of the other, it is interesting to note that while millions upon millions of believers obey or profess to have a faith based on the word of their God as spoken in exactly the same way without any deviation whatsoever from the mouths of a long line of prophets from one generation to the next in the case of those who declare the Bible to be the written word of God, theirs, millions upon millions of believers obey or profess to have a faith based on the word of their God as spoken from the mouth of their only prophet, or in other words, as spoken from the mouth of only one man in the case of those who declare the Quran to be the written word of God, theirs.

It is also interesting to note that while millions upon millions of believers do not blindly follow everything taught in their book of sacred texts as spoken from the mouths of a long line of prophets in exactly the same way without deviation from generation to generation or did so but not without questioning or resisting parts of it in the case of the Bible, millions upon millions of believers blindly follow everything taught in their book of sacred texts as spoken from the mouth of their only prophet, or in other words, as spoken from the mouth of only one man without question or the least resistance in the case of the Quran.
