It's a bit like reading a wikipedia page on Nonsense.

It is not to support the rhetoric but the semantics. But you're not forced to open the links if you don't want to. And BTW, I didn't need to google to inform myself (I guess that's what you mean). I already knew who Michel Houellebecq is. I already knew what Michel Houellebecq said about Islam. I already knew that speech by that Hamas speaker. I already knew those news about Saudi Arabia and the Taliban. I already knew those informations on opium and cannabis production. I already knew Nargiz's videos.

And I already know many people have the habit of getting information and opinions in small and plain doses. Slogans on buses and things like that. But it's not my fault.

I thought at least the main idea would be clear to anyone. Many Islamic terrorists are determined to commit suicide attacks because the countries or regions from which they are remain in a "bubble", cut off from the rest of the World. Their lives are dark and gloomy, whereas Koran promises them a sumptuous (to their mentality) "paradise" if they die at the jihad. So under those circumstances it is easy to "recruit martyrs". Therefore, to "burst the bubble" (breaking the cultural isolation) would be a possible helpful intervention.

I hope now it's so clear that even George Galloway may grasp what I'm saying by making an extra mental effort and at the expense of burning half of his neurons (if he still has any).

Deuteronomy also not only condones rape, but explains how you should go about dealing with the situation upon raping her. Which is to purchase her, and then force her to be your wife.And let us not forget that whole thing about Lot's daughter in Genesis.

Also, here's some specific, "vague" quotes from the Bible for you, most of which have nothing to do with killing infidels 'cause that's only a Muslim thing.

"Cursed be he who does the Lords work remissly, cursed he who holds back his sword from blood." - Jeremiah 48:10

"'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads." - Leviticus 20:13

"Anyone arrogant enough to reject the verdict of the judge or of the priest who represents the LORD your God must be put to death. Such evil must be purged from Israel." - Deuteronomy 17:12

"Wives, be subordinate to your husbands, as is proper in the Lord." - Colossians 3:18

"If a man still prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall say to him, "You shall not live, because you have spoken a lie in the name of the Lord." When he prophesies, his parents, father and mother, shall thrust him through." - Zechariah 13:3

"A priest's daughter who loses her honor by committing fornication and thereby dishonors her father also, shall be burned to death." - Leviticus 21:9

I'd also like to note, in your response to your statement that the Bible is somehow less personal in what it suggests then the Qu'ran, that it instructs you on everything from hygiene to dietary choices. The Bible is very restrictive; it's just ignored by most Christians today.

I'm afraid I wasn't clear enough about that. Sorry. I didn't refer to a supposed vagueness expressed into the texts. I refer to the character, the consideration, the importance given to the texts. That is what is imprecise. There's no unanimity. The disciplines (Biblical criticism, Exegesis) are divided into branches, methods, schools, traditions, etc... The question has always been complex and controversial. The churches have formed their own canons after long debates between the "authorities". They have changed them several times, reelaborated the dogmas time after time, morover schisms happened, etc... Anyway, the importance of the New Testament is preponderant for both Catholics and Protestants. In addition, one thing is clear: anyone can see it's a "collage". Bacause of that diversity of languages (in the original texts), authors, dates and styles, no one could take the Bible (as a supposed coherent group of direct commands) as a whole literally.

Let me put it like this:

Basically we are concern about the effects of rubbish on people, OK? Well, it turns out that the Quran has more harmful effects on people than the Bible. But not because Quran has more rubbish than the Bible, or because Quran has worse rubbish than the Bible. No, that's not the point.

The question is "HOW the rubbish is placed into the Quran and the Bible". And "Quranic rubbish" is placed in such a way that its damage on people is bigger than that caused by "Biblical rubbish". Let's say in the Bible the garbage has been ground into very small pieces and then dispersed all over the can. It's a chaos. One thing counteracts another one, which in turn is counteracted by a third one and so forth. A collage. No one can join all the pieces of trash, because the pieces don't fit together as if they all were parts of a same thing.

But the Quran has been specially designed to channel all the hatred with a certain order. Thus, the poison can be transmitted in an easier way, and then the final harm is bigger.

So you're saying that the Quran has no contradictions?

Edit: Almost 100 contradictions.

It amazes me how he responds to posts with paragraphs and paragraphs but doesn't ever really respond to them.

Well, you haven't watched the video about the Quran I posted before. It's OK, don't worry, I don't get upset about it. But, don't you read the links you post? One word: ABROGATION.

Maybe you (I mean you specifically, Sleepy Jack) should explain WHY I didn't respond to the posts in question, instead of writing just a pointless sentence to show a narcissistic pose for healing your wounded pride.

The problem with you (now specifically you, Dr.Seussicide) is that when I respond to you, then you absurdly pretend that the question was not that question.

sleepy jack · 09-26-2010, 01:58 PM

Did you ever think the reason people are pointing out you don't really respond to posts is because you aren't? You make it sound like the problem is dr.seussicide and I. Also I can't explain why you do this - only you can. I can't see into your psyche, nor do I particularly want to.

I've seen that biased piece of propaganda you posted already. Your argument that the Bible's gruesome parts containing contradictions and it being unable to be pieced together could be said for the Quran as well. In regards to abrogations, this is about respecting other's beliefs. The whole notion of Muslims slowly trickling into the system and taking it over sounds like terrorism and fear-mongering at its finest. Considering how much of the US government has the bible lodged in their behinds, you could make the same arguments for Christianity. I'm pretty much against any sort of religious government -- and in that regard I disagree with Islam. Following religion as close to fundamentally as possible is sickening to me, but that isn't really what this is about, is it?
