Here's a little ditty about ethics and morality from one of our own founders .... read the whole thing this time.
As always, take a paragraph out of an entire book and think you know everything there is to know about it.
But women OR men abusing children, even TO DEATH is even more horrific and it is rampant in this "civilized' and "secular" nation.

As always, take a paragraph out of an entire book and think you know everything there is to know about it.
Quran 22:19-22:
"fight and slay the Pagans, seize them, beleaguer them, and lie in wait for them in every stratagem" "for them (the unbelievers) garments of fire shall be cut and there shall be poured over their heads boiling water whereby whatever is in their bowels and skin shall be dissolved and they will be punished with hooked iron rods"
Go ahead. Read your translation for that one. Then I'll grab another. And another. And another. Until you concede that I am not 'picking a paragraph out of an entire book' and open your mind to the possibility there might just be something immoral about it.

This can only be paraphrased so many times. That's not the point. I shared this passage because you said this was a great book, maybe the best, for 'good ways of life'. That's it. Stop derailing.edit on 18-2-2014 by Lucid Lunacy because: (no reason given)

The message from Adams with his opinion, probably written to play to the intended audience, about the Constitution.

I'm sure there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands of mistranslations and counterfeit passages supposedly in the Qur'an all over the internet.

Well religious people and organizations have tried to influence government sometimes successfully so, many times. No one is saying they cant try to however they can only do so within the established legal system. Our legal system is not designed to favor any religion.edit on 18-2-2014 by Grimpachi because: (no reason given)
But people within the government and the corporate business community have been working diligently behind the scenes for many years to invalidate religion ~ at least the Christian religion.
