My post gave you two points, of course you addressed the only one that was convenient for you.
One possibility was that the muslims I've been talking to are right and you proved it wrong. This means that I've been talking to clueless muslims all this time. All people firmly convinced that their religion is the perfect story that doesn't need to be subjectively interpreted but just blindly followed. Oh well, not like I'm surprised to see opposing views on religion and this was exactly why I immediately followed with the other alternative, which I'll quote again

Quote:Also, if your book is so ambiguous and freely interpretable as you say to the point that it generates such violent behaviours, brutal laws, silly practices, unless you properly interpret it, then wouldn't we be better off without islam at all? Look at the big picture, for the greater good of everyone, if islam can be properly interpreted only by a minority and everyone else is just misinterpreting it, wouldn't it be more functional and practicll to just delete it completely? Is it really worth it to keep islam at the cost of many people misinterpreting it and dispensing violence and creating chaos and terror? Is there really any point to keep it at all and not just ditch it?Go ahead
That book was written by a savage for savages and is not compatible with any civilized country. How do we, ignorant and ungrateful unbelievers, know that we are better off without islam, christianity, induism or whatever religion? Because those things only create confusion, chaos, hatred, violence and what not. The only "positive" message preached by religions could be reached by simply teaching everyone basic concepts such as common sense without further mythical meaning behind them. You don't need to believe in Christ or Allah or whatever in order to understand that killing everyone is not functional, useful, practical or natural and only brings you disadvantages in life. You don't need any religion to understand that teaming up with your fellow human can help you both reach greater results, and all these things are easily explained with practical and factual examples. Religions just needlessly complicate something that is simple at its basic level with magical bullshit that is not backed up by any factual evidence and should just disappear.
