When I was Muslim, I would argue & say we had the same prophets as Christians.
But this one broke me:
Surah 17:101: Allah gave Moses 9 clear signs.
I knew the list. The staff. The shining hand. The drought. The flood. The locusts. The lice. The frogs. The blood.
I held onto those 9 signs like proof I had the real story.
But bro, you know what shook me?
There’s a night missing.
After all nine signs, right before Israel walks out of Egypt, something happens that the Quran goes completely silent on.
A lamb is slaughtered.
Its blood painted on the doorposts.
And death passes over every house covered by that blood.
The Passover.
I grew up hearing the whole Exodus story. But nobody ever told me about the blood on the door.
Islam just skips it.
And here’s what wrecked me.
The Bible, the book I was taught was corrupted, mentions the Passover over 70 times.
Exodus. Leviticus. Numbers. Deuteronomy. The Psalms. The Prophets. The Gospels. Paul.
70 times.
So I had to ask myself the honest question:
If men corrupted this book, why would they obsess over the same story for 1500 years? Across dozens of authors who never met?
You don’t forge a document 70 times.
That’s just not corruption.
That to me is preservation.
And then I read the line that finished me off.
1 Corinthians 5:7.
“Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed.”
That’s when it hit me.
The whole story was never just about Moses.
It was always pointing to a King.
The final lamb. Whose blood, when applied to your life, makes death pass over you.
Forever.
The Quran gave me 9 signs but hid the one night that explains why any of them happened.
Because the moment a Muslim understands the Passover…
he’s one step away from the cross.
“I love daylight! I love it later in the evening, when I can appreciate it!”
DST hurts health.
It hurts sleep and reduces wages.
You think that extra hour of daylight at the “end of the day” is great! But it’s wrecking your sleep and making you stupid.
Holy shit, this is wild.
A massive blue jet just shot straight up from a thunderstorm in Texas like some kind of purple lightning sword into space.
The guy filming loses it… “Holy s– I just got a jet!”
Nature really said hold my beer. Rare as hell and absolutely beautiful.

Wow, what incredible photography 🔥⚡️
Her name was Dominique Moody.
She was 6 years old.
She was locked in a dog crate and starved for over a year in Charlotte NC.
She was bound in duct tape.
Wrapped in plastic.
She was bitten by rats in a home with no heat and feces in every room.
She weighed just 27 pounds when she passed away.
Her "caretakers" forced little Dominique to watch them eat, while starving her.
They made her sit in her own urine and feces until she had open wounds.
When police found her, she had multiple broken bones. Burns. Open wounds and scars across most of her body.
She lived like that for OVER A YEAR.
Police were called to the house 50 TIMES before she died.
Nothing happened.
The women who were her "caretakers" were arrested 10 PREVIOUS TIMES.
WE DO NOT HAVE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!
Permanent DST was tried before as a mandate in the 70s, after only 10 mos the people mandated it be abandoned. Let's not repeat that mistake. Returning to natural earth time is long overdue and Big Biz & Big Govt must leave our sleep alone. @SenTedCruz@JohnCornyn@RepNateMoran
So the thing they said was never gonna happen is here.
And the paranoiacs they said were paranoid were right.
We owe Nokia an apology, it seems.
Can we have our eternally-lasting Nokia bricks back please?

Amazon has canceled Martin Gero's new Stargate series. The show had completed a 20-week writers room and was in pre-production in the UK.
The stated reason: Amazon executives were concerned it would not have broad appeal beyond the franchise's dedicated fanbase.
They killed a Stargate show because it was made for Stargate fans.
Gero spent five years on SG-1, Atlantis, and Universe. Brad Wright and Joe Mallozzi — architects of 15 of the franchise's 17 seasons — were consulting producers. Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin were executive producers.
Amazon says it still wants to develop Stargate, possibly with a showrunner without franchise history who can give it "a fresh new perspective."
The fans who waited 15 years since Universe was canceled just had their answer.
The CEO of Patreon, Jack Conte, tells Bricks and Minifigs to "shove it" in response to serving them a takedown notice to remove Reckless Ben's Patreon account.
