One God gave His life for my sins... The other demands I rape, rob and murder other people that don’t worship him.
In the Bible, the older violence is superseded by the peaceful New Testament.
In the Koran, the earlier conciliatory statements are superseded by the later calls for violence.
The Koran today calls for violence, the Bible does not.
Say it is, so? Doesn’t change the fact that it’s muzlim rather than Christian PEOPLE who are bloodthirsty.
Scripturalized is the proper word here.
Additions to is the proper wording here.
Their word was pretty much the word at the time. The Christian differences were pretty between the eastern and western churches. The holy books of the time we’re similar.
Yes, but Joshua destroyed Jericho. That was a few years ago, and the Commandment was limited to that place and time, but no matter. And today Muslims claim Jews were never anywhere near Jericho or Hevron, or Israel
Interestingly if you read the "study" linked in the article, the "reasearcher" finds the Tanakh, Old Testament, the most violent, but finds the New Testament more violent than the Koran. I don't know how, and am not going to bother reading the complete study to find out, the underlying premise if faulty. Detailing violence in a historical context is quite different from inciting violence at a point in time and for believers into the future.
“It’s not misinformation about Mohammad’s scribblings. That opinion comes from direct observation of those who follow the man who married a six-year-old girl.”
Now just a cotton pickin’ minit here. Mohammed never scribbled anything. He had a Jewish secretary who wrote down his epileptic hallucinations. And there you go again with the misinformation. He may have married the girl when she was six, but he didn’t rape her until she was nine. So there.
