Your favorite surahs

RE: Your favorite surahs
I think you mean verse, rather than surah.  A surah is an entire chapter of the quran.
Also when you say favorite, I'm guessing from the one you chose that you mean which verses in the quran are the most easy to ridicule as being unbelievable or for being politically incorrect.
This is a actually an entire surah dedicated to Abu Lahab who was Muhammad's uncle who disbelieved in the quran and the cult that Muhammad started.
Bare in mind that this is gods final message, not Muhammad's, and it's supposed to be addressed to all of mankind.
There's no other mention of Abu Lahab in the quran, if you're just reading the quran and you have no idea of the local history around Muhammad and his family this verse basically means nothing. You have no idea who he is, why his wife is carrying wood or why he's going to go to hell or that he's even Muhammad's uncle.
It's kind of like me sailing to a tribe in papua new guinea and saying "Hey I've got a chapter from god addressed to you, he says John is a bad man, he's going to hell, and his wife the player of loud annoying music at night is joining him."
Quote:May the hands of Abu Lahab be ruined, and ruined is he.
His wealth will not avail him or that which he gained.
He will [enter to] burn in a Fire of [blazing] flame
And his wife [as well] - the carrier of firewood.
Around her neck is a rope of [twisted] fiber.
The next one is from the story of Noah.
Quote:And it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Noah called to his son who was apart [from them], "O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers."
[But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allah , except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.
Noah sails through waves like mountains using a ship built before the year 0 AD and also manages to have a conversation with his son who isn't even on the boat at the time just by calling out to him.  Doesn't say where his son is stood, he's not on a mountain at this point because he says he will go to a mountain, which is odd because Noahs ship has already sailed through waves like mountains before the convo with his son started.
Quote:He was created from a fluid, ejected,
Emerging from between the backbone and the ribs.
This is another couple of verses which are great for playing the game of "The quran has to be right if you're a muslim no matter what."
The game basically consists of making up as many excuses for vague obscure, seemingly scientifically incorrect statements in quran as possible.  Even if the excuses actually contradict other Muslims excuses.
So for this verse, it would seem that the quran is unaware that sperm is actually created in the testes.
The Islamic excuses range from the verse is actually talking about the fluid which emerges from the prostate, which makes no sense because this isn't where sperm comes from.
The verses are talking about the testicles forming in the embyro.  The verses are talking about a vain which pumps blood to the testes.
With a book full of arabic poetry you can make anything correct, if scientists discovered tomorrow that sperm and seaman were both produced in the big toe these verses would still be correct.


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.
