AL JAZEERA: Is Religion a Force for Good or Evil in the World

If I found this fascinating, most of you would find it fascinating too. A scientist/atheist/author, before an audience of mainly believers (of different religions), was put on the stage to defend his bestselling book that says religion is a force for evil in the world. One particular belief in Islam that he found ridiculously unbelievable is the Prophet’s night journey. I have been saying all along that this specific event in Islam is seen by non-Muslims to be fanciful at best because of the omission of the presence of the other prophets whenever the story is told. The presence of Prophets Abraham, Noah, Moses, and Jesus (May peace be upon them all), who were supposed to be long dead and buried, is the key to the puzzle:  TIME TRAVEL. They were not dead, or why would they travel to the heavens to receive their own missions for God? In fact, Jesus, unlike the other prophets, did not return to his people to fulfill another mission: the second coming.
