    LOL - no need to moderate, just show me proof....any proof.....anything....

    All you can prove is that some guy a long time ago made up a religion based upon existing mythos.

    Yeah, pardon me for thinking that a lack of education in people is a huge factor in the number of people that believe in it.

    I didn't say it's God's book. I just said the contradictions you posted were based on lies.

    Also, the Quran doesn't deny being based on existing mythos. Kinda preaching to the choir there.

    Oh but I'm not trying to prove this lol. I know I got no proof for that.

    But, just like I said, you can't have a conversation about religion without holding onto this. We could have said anything really, and you would have ended with this.

    There are no 99 virgins in the Quran lol. Well done.

    Wine is desirable and to be avoided. That's not contradictory.

    Uncontrolled sex is desirable, but the consequences are not (STD's, unwanted pregnancy, etc). That's not contradictory.

    My issue is your argument. You have not shown how it applies here. You seem to be making YOUR argument fit actually. You seem to be doing all the jumping through hoops here.

    Exactly, until there is actual evidence, this will always be the case.

    Yes, as long as we can't prove that these are books of God, we can not discuss if there are contradictions within them.

    Now keep sippin that scotch, we don't want you to suffer!

    Yes - but this is all practical life advice. Some might make sense, some might not. And it was written down by several men over a certain timespan. There are contradictions. To try to go to great lengths to dispute that fact just makes one less credible and shows how brainwashed the person who does that is.

    Actually, personally, I don't think one can expect proof. If people want to believe what they believe, and it helps to make them better people, I am happy with that. I will not try to persuade them to not believe or ridicule what they believe in.

    I have a problem with it when people become fanatical about what they believe in to a point where they view those who do not share their beliefs as lesser people (e.g., "dhimmis"/"infidels") and treat them that way ("you insulted what I believe in, now I will be outraged/you will be sentenced to death/you will be lynched/etc. etc.). That is when I will start to get under their skin if I have to, and will question their belief system because their actions show that something is wrong with their belief system.

    Sure we can...since men wrote them, they are bound to have contradictions, and they do.

    Whether God created it or not, you can easily prove/show a contradiction in anything.

    All religions are hypersensitive, that's a moot point.

    Islam's just the only one that is an established theocracy in multiple countries. So it actually has the power to bring crazy policies to fruition. Don't think this type of crime is limited to being prejudiced against other religions either. In Pakistan, practicing certain sects of Islam will cause you to be persecuted and executed...

    If you look at the example of the Prophet Muhammed (PBUH), he never once had anyone executed for insulting him. The people who did this killing are the ones who are truly insulting him and straying from his example...
