But I don't think some of you understand that the texts of the 3 big religions are products of their times (where for example 9 would have been considered an acceptable age) and are tales meant to raise the spirits of the poor and oppressed against the will of the oppressor
Indeed they are of their time so surely you agree there is no justification of someone who practices and believes every part (good and bad) of these religions right?

eg. you surely would agree that someone raping a 9 year old because it's considered justified by a book written thousands of years ago is wrong

How cool is it to see Pet Sounds grow up into a well reasoned and rational man right before our very eyes. Brings a lump to my throat.

Seriously, great debate points PS.

you understand its only places that have a culture that already accepts these things that use a literal translation

There are secular countries that are majority Muslim
I personally think the history is more significant of understanding than the religion

Whatever dude...

We're not getting anywhere here and it seems it's going to stay that way.
I have no problem with you continuing to think you're a historical beacon of knowledge though, more power to you.

Ya, closed minds are incredibly difficult to crack open. Spout off all you want but stay engaged when you get rightfully called out. Otherwise just take your ball and go home.

I stayed engaged for long enough, saw it wasn't going anywhere and decided to leave it and get on with my life before an unnecessary argument started.

If you want an argument so badly, look elsewhere.
