I have a friend who has had a recent converstion to this, and even though its kind of strange and other than the obvious name, is intresting none the less.
One thing he pointed out to me is the trinity, this is shown as not father son and holy spirit but Islam, Judaism, and Christianity. and all those have three parts as well. Suni, Shite, Kurd (sry if any are misspelled), Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Prodistant...and i forgot the 3 jewish ones. He says these are all differnt ways all leading to the same purpose, anti-satan.
Kind of intresting, not sure if i agree but intriguing still.
Your friend doesn't have any history of mental disorders does he?
Obsession with a particular number, along with extremes of religion....I'm seeing a little flag goin' up.....
Alternatively, is your friend Dan Brown?
actually i find he makes very few observations on his own. Mostly its from studies and books.
The Kurds are generally Sunni Muslim.
its true, Kurdish people are from a Geographical location and are either Sunni, or Shia in their faith.
Sounds like this person may be a fruitcake

I think if he had stopped here it might have been good. This is indeed an interesting take on the concept of the trinity.
Good advise for next time.

Your friend is a bit confused. There are at least 4 Jewish branches, Orthodox, Conservative, Reform, and Reconstructionist Jews. There are also Humanist Jews - a non-theistic group who believe that humans have the power to shape their own lives independent of supernatural authority.
He might be, he only joined a few weeks ago. But i guess the main point is that none of these religions are truelly true, but instead its just god being anti-satan.
