PatD, my understanding of the above conversation was that you can’t find Truth in scripture. Scriptures are like signposts and are not the real thing – the real thing being peace, God, soul, the Tao, the Word, whatever you want to call it. Truth exists only within a living, breathing human being, not on paper. An analogy might be, "The map is not the territory," which illustrates the difference between concepts and reality. You can’t find truth with a capital “T” on a piece of paper covered with black squiggly lines in the same way you wouldn’t go into a restaurant and eat the menu. That was my point. 

I was a Christian before receiving Knowledge so I am not anti-Christian if it does no harm. It's just that scriptures, rules, regulations, "rites and rituals never reach the goal." That’s eating the menu. Spirituality is better than religion.

This site explains Islam perfectly:
