I admire the prophets, not merely because of their patience and rightousness, their motivation and their humbleness but because of their endurance when talking to pagans.
Anyone here felt that discussing God with polytheists is extremly difficult (rationally speaking)?
Consider the conversation;
- Hey, whats that?
- Oh, this is my food God, he supplies me with food.
- Ehh, are you sure, it sure looks more like a blue piece of rock
- Are you teasing my God, don't anger him. He pleads to God for me.
- Well why not ask God directly without this partner
- Becase this is also god, but a lesser one.
- Puhhhhh, I truly admire the prophets for standing firm when hearing this.
I guess by the some token, I admire the Rabbis living during the time of the early Israeli prophets for standing firm against this irrationality.
And of Moses' folk there is a community who lead with truth and establish justice therewith [Quran 7.159 - interpretation of the meaning]
