You don't need to know another language, just be honest with the one you've got.

BTW "Keeping children for themselves" is not a green light for abuse, not in the English language, and not by society, and not in that historical record.

If you want to deal out scripture, at least have the courtesy to use English by it's grammatical norms.

Be sure you use the English variation that Moses and Jesus spoke!

I grew up around Biblical scholars who were fluent in Hebrew, Greek, and a couple of other languages, and I have also done my own comparisons between the old languages and the English translation. It is practically word for word.

The KJV, has a few words that aren't used anymore, but the meanings are easily understood by the context.

The Bible is an absolutely vile book, you'll get no argument here. But I'm wondering if you've ever read the Quran. By my estimation, it's even worse. I don't know how anyone can defend either.

I knew it !

Okay, why don't you prove it with a verse from the Quran; rob? I want something very direct and explicit; like the biblical texts above.
All you have is Hadith; I'm sorry but I'm a fighter of Hadith, and been saying why for years, proving so also for year after year.

I read the Quran daily. Do you; though?

Now; lots of atheists and Christians will give you kudos..
I can see it xD

I have read it. It describes a bloodthirsty scumbag of a deity. There is no escaping that.

Yes, it explicitly says keep. The problem is that your mind reads "keep" as enslave and immediately fuck .

I grew up next to a major university.

Actually, "alive" is the Hebrew word there, with the "keep" being implied. Here's a link to the Blue Letter Bible page on it. It links to all the other verses that use the same word. One, for example, is that the midwives in Egypt refused the order to kill the male babies, but rather kept them alive.

These events did not occur. They are myths and fables. We can only discuss the moral of the story.

Muslim: The Quran is God's message to everyone!

Me: This book is really sickening.

Muslim: You can't understand it properly because it's in Arabic.

It's an indoctrination manual right from page 1, gleefully damning all non-Muslims to torment at frequent intervals. I had suspected it wouldn't be as bad as the bible, but after reading, I think it's worse. It's a very focused document right from the start, as opposed to the mish-mash of random stories in the Old Testament.

A verse or two would prove your point.
Where are the sexual verses in the Quran that make the book worse than the bible?

Nice troll, Atlas.
