2. If the premise was true that the Christian Bible makes people into monsters, then whoever wrote the Quran was an idiot for allowing marriage to monsters.
The point I am making, the Quran argues Bible is over all good, otherwise, it would not allow marriages to people of the book.
Atlas, is making it as if, Bible is some horrible book that makes people into pedophiles and other things.
So you were responding to Atlas then. Nevertheless, both the Bible books and the Qur'an contain horrendous verses (the Old Testament being more horrific, I'll give you that) and so I don't see it as a shock that the Qur'an allows marriage to "people of the book".
This does not mean, however, that these books necessarily turn people into monsters. What I see instead is otherwise decent Christians and Muslims either reinterpreting horrendous verses to make them seem way less horrific than intended or they play dumb apologetic games even when they agree the acts would be considered horrific if it wasn't their preferred god behind these acts.
