it was the old man story and the response to it that i found contradictory.

aw man i thought all those western muslims were going to get a free pass for a moment.. i guess the narration is very specific.
anyway i always thought about the quran in a very different way to an autobiography if miracles, i thought it a way to learn about the nature of god and his prophet pbuh.
but i guess it states the case brilliantly for all the prophets and religions...RELIGION.
there is a god manifest in there stories..there lives and they were made specifically to tell there own story.
so yeah just one then.. roughly paraphrased.
