I’ve said before that if a bloodthirsty Autism-spectrum child could write, The Qu’ran would probably be what it would look like.  And that’s no slam against the overwhelmingly friendly children on the spectrum, of course, just acknowledgement of how they often repeat themselves.

The Qu’ran cribbed a lot from…[Read more]

Robert Oppenheimer when he beheld the first Atomic Bomb explosion of The Manhattan Project which he headed:

“I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds.”

He also said a line from The Baghavad Gita that comes off violent when one considers what the subsequent…[Read more]

You would also have to actually read the passages for meaning and read them in context of other text and actual events documented elsewhere to get the full depth of their violent content.

For example, this passage in Revelation 22:18-19 has…[Read more]

They are both awful immoral books that cursed humanity from the day they were penned. The Quran however, is an endless repetitive cycle, you have the feeling you are being smacked on the head with a rolled up newspaper with…[Read more]

The similarities between it and the Bible are numerous. The same can be said of The Torah which I think is the equivalent to the Pentateuch or at least the 5 books attributed to Moses.  I have debated with Muslims too.  Their arguments for the existence of their god and their faith are no d…[Read more]

I’ve been contributing to an annotated holy book project. While…[Read more]
