When my uncle was proselytizing me for Islam, he told me there are no versions of the Quran. Only the corrupted Bible has versions but the Quran is identical to the exact words spoken by the prophet Muhammad (may blessings be upon him). He encouraged me to read the Quran for myself. So I ordered a copy. Immediately, my uncle asked me which translation I'd bought. When I told him, he groaned. "You bought the wrong one. You should have asked me . I would have told you to get the other one." Upon my query, he launched into a convoluted explanation of the difference between a version and a translation. I found this to be as unconvincing as Christian apologetics.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.
