King Kong & Christian Faith
[And for their saying, "We have certainly killed the Messiah ‘Isa (Jesus), the son of Mary, the Messenger of Allah”, while in fact they did neither kill him, nor crucify him, but they were deluded by resemblance. Those who disputed in this matter are certainly in doubt about it. They have no knowledge of it, but they follow whims. It is absolutely certain that they did not kill him,(157) But Allah lifted him towards Himself. Allah is All-Mighty, All-Wise.(158) ] [Quran 4: 157-158]
All praise to Allah and peace & blessings of Allah be upon his final prophet, Mohammad (Salla Allahu Alihi Wa Sallam)
Many of those who will read this may wonder, what relates King Kong with the Christian faith?!! It’s really an obvious relation and it’s no more than one example to understand the conceptions of the Christian Faith.
On a deserted island where the giant gorilla ‘called King Kong’ lived, some people existed; pagan savages who thought they would be saved if they gave the beautiful girl whom they captured to the giant beast on the other side of the island. They seized the girl and started their pagan rituals by putting her in a place where the beast could see to come and easily raven her. The beast was much more merciful and wiser than them. The beast came and took the girl for himself. He didn’t eat or tear her body but kept her safe and even saved her many times when other beasts wanted to prey. While watching the movie, how did you feel about these savages?! Did you feel they did the right thing?! Did you wish the beast to cut the girl into pieces so that other could live safely?! Of course the answer is an emphatic "No".
Mayans performed human sacrifice on top of Mayan pyramids to keep the sun on its daily path. Similarly, a story about ancient Egypt says officials drowned fair maidens in the Nile River to save the country from drought and famine. There are other oral records of human sacrifice in Egypt that closely resemble accounts of sacrifice in other ancient cultures.
Likewise, Christians believe in human sacrifice and human blood to save the world. Killing an innocent man to save the whole community has been the way of pagans throughout history. If God didn’t like or approve that pagan and barbaric way, do you think He would use it Himself to save the world?!
If you have the choice to save the world, which way you will follow?! Kill an innocent man? Or just to ask for God’s forgiveness?! Undoubtedly, we will take the easy way and pray for God’s forgiveness instead of shedding innocent blood.
This is what the people on the island didn’t understand when they sacrificed the beautiful girl to save themselves. This is what Christians do not understand when they claim that Jesus had to be crucified to save them. This is the pagan way and style in fabricating lies that God didn’t reveal to any of his prophets or messengers.
