Thanks for writing. No, I am in absolutely no position to debate the Quran or Islamic teaching, nor do I really want to. I just want an overall understanding of the Quran from a western layman’s perspective. I figure the best way to do that is to just sit down and read the thing. The commentaries that are offered to me are secondary, and just like in Christianity, I am sure they come in all sorts of theological perspectives. I figure the more commentaries the better, and I am not partial to any one ideology. I do the same with Christian belief, and I read stuff from all sorts of perspectives and angles. If you have an online commentary you can recommend, I would be happy to check it out along with my Quran reading.

By the way, I am not an atheist.

Excellent! I gotta tell you though, that I DO love that movie, hammy and old fasioned as much of it is. I mean, you just cannot beat the parting of the Red Sea scene. It is absolutely iconic!

Thanks for the video!

Xian doctrine is irrational, otherworldly, and impractical. It promises much, and delivers nothing. Four hundred years of opposition have not yet rid the West of its dead god.

Chinese culture was far luckier. From that very rational, this worldly, and practical book, The Analects, attributed to Confucius (500 BCE):

6:20 Fan Ch’ih asked what constituted wisdom. The Master said, “To give one’s self earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.”

15:23 Tsze-kung asked, saying, “Is there one word which may serve as a rule of practice for all one’s life?” The Master said, “Is not RECIPROCITY such a word? What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.” [trans. S.R. McIntyre 2003]

No god is needed to place restrictions on human behavior. All ethics is irreducibly social. Harming others can not be generalized; otherwise, no social fabric could be sustained.

“Except for those who repent before they fall into your power: in that case, know that God is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful”

would this verse seem have seemed violent when it was revealed,of course it would seem so today,but keep in mind during this period of immense conflict many pagan tribes were trying to kill the Muslims in Arabia, and thus this verse refers to war fought in self defense. Since it was the 7th century all warfare were usually fought with swords so execution, amputation, etc. would make sense. “strive to make mischief in the land” referred to those who have commit excess murder, thievery, rape, etc. Do you think that if this verse wasn’t there, do you think execution for example would not have occurred during warfare, probably not This verse does not stress violence but rather justice.

all religions are a matter of interpretation and hence interpretations by theologians (there are thousands of them) are opinions, who in turn are influenced by many factors. You can read many things hostile to Islam by written christian theologians during the middle ages. Islam is the only religion that accepts Judaism and Christianity as valid and divine religions, and that the torah and the gospels are Qur’an are all revealed by God. Yes there are diffencenes in tenets such as the role of Jesus etc.

Since you’re an athiest I don’t know if any of this makes sense to you, but I just wanted to give you a different perspective, and I don’t want to start a debate. All world religions are re-interpreted over the times and hence they constantly evolve, that why religions have survived over thousands of years and still do so today. I’t not really necessary to repost my comment on hotair.

Thank you
peace
