[FaithAffirmed]

Hmmm the Koran (scripture) says:

About unbelievers; "Take them and kill them wherever ye find them. Against such We have given you clear warrant."
And about the reward for such; "Fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious, on him We shall bestow a vast reward."

And the Bible (scripture) says:
For disobeying God; "And the Lord said unto Moses, The man [who was found picking up sticks on the sabbath] shall be surely put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones."

And what is the reward for obeying God?

Frankly I can't argue scripture in the slightest. I'm not one to know what was said and I should NOT have made that statement therefore I apologize. However, the argument is not in the scripture but rather in the beliefs. The faith acts as the motivating tool and depending on the leader controlling that faith, it can be used for good or it can be used for murder. It all comes down to the intepretation of the scripture based on the setting. But regardless of interpretation or scripture, what I ask for is respect of something so powerful. As I said, faith is like a gun that if wielded properly does great good but improperly causes great harm. Those who wield "the gun" are religious leaders or just leaders in general and if utilized, can either build a homeless shelter or stone a disbeliever. The blame for the action however is not on the BELIEF in God, but the person who led them to do such.
