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.
MK; there's a reply button that sends a notification to me
you can use that if you want to reply to me.Grandizer; the difference is that the bible allows atrocities in this life. The Quran has brutal verses, but all are in the afterlife.
No Muslim will rape your son in school because "Moses did it". But a Christian can so easily do it, and the role model is in my OP.
We saw it with the Catholic Church and its pedophile issue.
Yes; books just contain the ideas. The problem is always sourced in the mind of the person. Nobody rapes kids because "they were fooled". Humans -most of the time- know their motives exactly.
