How can we be bigoted and racist and cruel and hostile to our fellow man if we don't have something to hide behind and/or justify our actions with?
That's the ONLY reason we have sacred texts.
Religion will die naturally when the ape grows up.
No God, No fear.
Know God, Know fear.

Because they are a fantasy of the mind, that's going to take a lot of lobotomies.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

I knew about most of those verses but not all.
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.

To the OP: I don't care what IS says it stands for. No state should exist based on religion. Your ideal state, or a state based on the Christian religion, would be just as bad
It's not immoral to eat meat, abort a fetus or love someone of the same sex...I think that about covers it

Totally agree.
The biggest objection I have is that it is a set of rules that (supposedly) doesn't change. That means the society cannot develop. It's stuck in one particular mindset forever.
If some of those ideas are bad, which they obviously are to anyone not indoctrinated into the cult, then you're stuck with those forever. If religious people want to impose arbitrary restrictions on themselves, that's up to them. But trying to govern a country that way and forcing everyone else to adhere to it is disgusting.
If God gave us free will, then let us fucking well use it and come up with sensible rules as a people. If he wanted mindless automatons, he should have made them.

Quote:No. It's about surviving the battle with Satan.
We -as humans- are dwelling in earth, to prove our worth after our forefathers -Adam & Eve- failed to resist a cunning, jealous creature called Satan, who caused our parents to eat from a tree, that caused their private parts to be exposed.
Mad ? not so mad. It is so possible.
Did the fruit corrupt our genetics? did it cause us to lose our covering feathers?
Were we exposed like this before, with our skins in the open?
Atlass I think you have the idea of the story mixed up. The story says eating from the tree caused their nakedness to be apparent to them. Not that the eating of the tree actually caused their private parts to be exposed, they already were exposed, the tree gave them knowledge of it then they used leaves to cover themselves.
Also it really isn't possible, not one part of the story. I mean, the original story was bullshit enough but with your mixed up version of the bullshit story it's difficult to know where to begin to correct it.

Verse 1: Kill unbelievers
Verse 2: Don't kill unbelievers
Verse 3: Women are great
Verse 4: Women are inferior
Verse 5: Force religion on others
Verse 6: Don't force region on others
Verse 3 was a joke of course, the Quran would never say something so outlandish.
