Fischer: Muslim Prayer Service At National Cathedral Violates The Ten Commandments
Submitted by Kyle Mantyla on Thursday, 11/13/2014 3:55 pm
For the first time, the National Cathedral in Washington, D.C., will host a Muslim prayer service and Bryan Fischer is predictably outraged, urging his listeners to call the cathedral and complain that allowing this prayer service to take place violates the Ten Commandments.
On his radio program today, Fischer gave out the cathedral's phone number and encouraged his listeners to call and voice their opposition by complaining that the prayer service is really an effort to convert the cathedral into a mosque and is in violation of the very first of the Ten Commandments.
"This is one of the Ten Commandments," Fischer said. "You shall have no other gods before me. Allah is another god. The Bible says you, as a nation, shall have no other gods before me ... Make your objections known, that you object to the National Cathedral being turned into a mosque. That was not the purpose for which it was built. The purpose for which it was built is to worship the God that made America great and you object to it being used to worship a god of a completely different religion":

If anything, both Muslims and Jews have a pretty good First Commandment argument against the trinity, which is a pretty weird route to a unified Godhead, and looks a lot like polytheism, whereas both Islam and Judaism only conceive of one God figure.

(16,191 posts)Funny, I thought that the principle behind monotheism is that there is only one god. If the Christian monotheists are right, then the Muslims are praying to dead air because their god isn't real. If Fischer is right and Allah is "another god", then Christian monotheism is wrong, because the Christian god is NOT the only god in the universe. Sort of undermines their whole faith.
So which is it?
