Mystech said:back me up here, people, when you translate something zillions of times from languages that have gone all but completely out of use in the age of the translators errors are going to be inevitable.
Just show us at least 2 same verses from different translators that gives 2 different messages.
Reject all of them if you want. My point here is that Islam is no different in this term so what is the point in converting? Either reject religion or stay with your original religion. Don’t go out of the frying pan and into the fire.Mystech said:Oh? So that makes it fair grounds to reject Islam but not to reject Christianity?
Mystech said:But at the same time there are clear contradictions between the old testament and the new, and having argued here for quite some time, the standard reply from those who hold the bible dear is that the new supercedes the old. In essence abandoning portions of it (except when it servers their own agendas I suppose).
If bible apologists are able to reconcile them then it aint so clear a contradiction after all isn’t it? Muslim apologists don’t even try to reconcile the quran from the earlier books because the quran is really irreconcilable with those two.
Do tell me what bible commandments they have been following to commit such atrocities. Tell me the actual verses they said they used. Tell me.Mystech said:Oh is that so? Then why do religious nuts kill doctors who perform abortions? Why did we need the crusades or the inquisition? Why does the religious right think that God is urging them to seize control of this nation? You can't just slump off all of the atrocities of any religion on God, it's always the people who follow that religion.
You see there is a difference between (a) killing in the name of God & (b) killing by the command of God. Christians could only fall under a, which is why the crusades only happened a millenia ago, why the inquisition only happened 500 years ago, why only the very rare nut cases killed abortion doctors.
What do you mean?Mystech said:I suppose that #2 was just a no contest?
Such petty policing solves nothing.Mystech said:Oh, and in the future you might want to try spelling Muslim correctly. Muslm sounds like dialogue being spoken by a hick.
