dqualk Wrote:I believe that Christianity is more convincing then Islam, for one thing because it spread, and continues to spread without the use of violence. I am not saying that violence has never been used to spread Christianity. I am saying that early Chritsianiy spread during persecution, without being violent at all. And Christianity from the 18th century on has for the most part not used violent measn to spread Christianity and Christianity still continues to grow.
You basically see Christianity in a better light than Islam for the reason mentioned above. That's perfectly okay.
dqualk Wrote:With that said I hope I did not disrespect anyone. I have respect for Muslims and their beliefs. And I do not mean to be blasphemous, if I speak disrespect toward Allah or Muhammad I do not do with the intent of disrespect, I do it with the intent of speaking my convictions, although I recognize that this may be disrepectful but it is an accidental quality, and not an intended quality.
Yes, I don't think that you had an intention to disrespect me or anyone else.

You never know, because meditating alone in a cave might have opened his heart and mind to be able to experience something much more powerful in the universe.
annatar Wrote:Either quran or hadiths are not reliable sources. So yes they are absolutely nothing as an argument. You can't prove quran with quran. Even if you try, it'll get you nowhere cos it has so many contradictions, stupid rules, violence, sexism and even an arithmetic error.
Hadiths are "life of muhammed" so you dont need to count them twice.. As a result you have nothing..
There are different degrees of reliability. It's not a black and white thing. So, they can still be used as an argument for Islam if they have the slightest reliability.

I think you are referring to the verses about the division of inheritance (again).
But this is not a mathematical error if you really understand the principles behind the inheritance issue.
See this: Islamic Inheritance Law: General Rules and Shares
And this: Quranic Rules of Inheritance: Do They Involve Mathematical Errors?
The first one is a thorough and detailed explanation of the inheritance laws according to the Quran and Sharia which has many charts and examples as well.
