The Koran

I learned that Muslims share a lot of the beliefs we Christians do. I have also discovered quite a few differences from the Christianity and Islam. For example, they believe in a single god just as we do, though we believe in God not Allah. A difference I remember is that they believed that they believe you're either a believer or you'll never be one. We believe that you're a believer or not, but in Christianity you can save non-believers, unlike Islam where there hearts are sealed by Allah. Though I found the Koran quite confusing and hard to read, I now feel like I understand the basis of Muslim belief.

Camelot

My initial response to the movie Camelot is that musicals suck...just being honest. Then I realized that I loved Across the Universe and figured I'd give it a chance. Great choice! The movie seemed a bit cheesy but it's forgiven since it is after all a musical...anywho, I really liked how it shows universal values like faith, purity (Lancelot), equality (by showing the different social classes and even sing a song), greed (Arthur's illegitimate son), chivalry and love. Lancelot is a definate symbol relating to christianity and faith in my opinion. The movie shows how all humans sin, all can dream, and how equality is just right...lack of words but it's true. Surprisingly, those all can be christian virtues...

Knights, chivalry...just reminds me of the Christian crusades...coincidence? You decide.
