Your words were "Quran doesn't teach anything.." and talked about how you can interpret different things.
I would have to say, some of Quran is unclear, and I think this disproves it being divine, since what is the point of being unclear when you can be clear and all knowing wise creator can be clear all the time, he won't screw up like humans.
But some verses are definitely clear. And the verses saying "if they incline to peace, then incline to peace" are definitely clear. Further more, it's obvious that not all disbelievers were meant when it specifically said not to attack those who remained true to their treaties.
It's like some people fail a math test, not only to the teachers and teacher assistants get blamed, but the text book itself for not teaching them correctly.
This is rather unfair. If some people fail calculus because they didn't study well, then it's their fault. You don't blame the teacher or the TAs or the text book.
I would blame the teacher if he claimed to have not only created the TAs and the text book but also claimed to have created the student who failed.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.
