In other words; if verses of hell exist, you raise lots of alarms when you cherry pick verses about heaven only to prove a claim or an opinion.
God might guide you, and he might not. You might feel convinced and you might not; too. I have nothing to do in such thing; all I can do is to explain the best I can.
-and if verses exist quantifying the value of a woman as precisely half that of a man...we should bullshit ourselves and anyone listening by pretending that they don't exist and posting a wall of other shit from the same poor hodge podge of abrahamic myth and native superstition.
Bring the verse?
It doesn't say that? It only gives men the double in inheritance because men are demanded to spend on women anyways if they want to get married, another verse makes the testimony of women two in cases of testimony on debt, so if one forgot the calculations of wealth ,the other remind her. This sentence is mostly due to the distance Arab women have from economy and cash; women in general tended to stay a little bit further from economy until this age. Ask 18th century Yanks.

If it was not clear to you: I do not need faith, Religion is not and will never be an investigative tool to us humans, I do not need a god to tell me to be a peaceful person, Never did. I am good frriends with catholics, protestants, gipsies (good luck trying to assassinate me), muslims, blacks all kinds of stupid labels, exception for those assholes, regardless of religion, creed, political stance, are so.
As to gods guiding me?nI am a man of my will, while I am not powerfull as a god, I have will.
Do you?
Of course I have will.
I can disbelief right here right now. I can also wear whatever skin I want. I can ignore religion all of a sudden, I can do anything I want.
Why is it hard to accept that some theists actually have total freedom; and actually chose what they believe in? Chose their skin willingly.
Being not cool with clubs is a great thing. I never belonged anywhere too; that's why I sit here, out of place and time. Think for yourself; that's the advice I would give.
But if your soul chose religion; don't shut the door on it. Humans change their minds always.
