The Quran and The Prohibiting of Pedophilia? Marriage Contracts

A mindless force... that wants to be worshipped, and is obsessed with logic, so much so that it reanimates the consciousness of dead humans somehow, just so they can be tortured? Does any of that sound remotely logical in itself?

The Quran describes Allah to be a "unique entity unlike any other", thus we can't say that he has a "centralized thinking organ" for example like humans. He is just like he described himself: "a unique and a hollow, that was never born or gave birth". We can describe any force of having "will"; that's for the sake of eloquence, like in the sentence "the sea had roared". Seas don't have mouths to roar; but it's the linguistic eloquence that draws an analogy to help us understand what God means. So it's the same with God in the Quran in my opinion. "Worship" is made strange and phony when it involves other humans or creations. But when it's about God; it is life itself.
