1- verse that tells you God is one: well it means -and can only mean- that God is one. An person with a brain damage might think that the verse means "God is actually a number"..You get to choose: either read it as it is, or play games around the words to get out with a result you want.
Quote:2-A verse that tells you to cut the hand of thieves. Well..it either means what it really means (cutting the hand of thieves), or ...get around it the way you want; like saying (oh oh, hand is a metaphor for something else ! a hand is not a hand !!!! damn you stupid kuffar you just can't see it !!)Like the verse above -really meant- exactly what was written? This couldn't simply be a suggestion that you remove their ability to steal...which need not necessarrily mean the chopping of hands....as the verse above doesn't -actually- mean that god is the number one?
We are talking about a book that claims the moon was split in two.....after all......is that one literal...metaphor, pure fiction...? IDK, it's easy to understand all the confusion, as an outsider.
Your intra-faith disagreements don't interest me, I'll leave you to hammer those out with each other. Only commenting on the difficulties you've created for yourself in approaching your disagreement in this manner.
