What Is The Allah Cult? By: C. Read | - Some people refer to Islam as the Allah cult because they feel that Islam is not a real religion but a cult. Bear in mind that many fundamentalist Christians also consider Catholics to be part of a cult as well. Those who do not adhere to their set of beliefs are said to be part of a cult. In Western Civilisation, however, there is a growing movement towards cults and towards Islam like never before.

What Is A Moon Cult? By: C. Read | - A Moon Cult is a so-called religion that revolves around the position of the moon. Many people believe that many popular religions are cults because of this type of worship and how it is formulated. Islam is thought to be a cult because of the way that it promotes itself and does not allow for any debate. One of the definitions of a cult is that it basically consumes those who follow the moon cult and does not allow for any other type of thought pattern. It can also separate those from their ...

To Realize God Philosophy - Sing The Character Of Pure God. By: GS Virk | - Our sense, knowledge of thought and language are able to understand things. We understand the names and symbols of God, Allah, Ram, supernatural being, etc., according to our faith. Our spirit is beyond the echo from the center of life and is not an object. Pure God is beyond our mind. To understand the true philosophy of God, we must go beyond the senses, thoughts and knowledge of the language by any other means of faith with meditation on his name or symbol.
