      Christ was peaceful as the son. As God the Father, he ordered many mass-murders. Also, there's the 'eternal torture for wrongthink' thing

      Personally,religion doesn't work for me. But I believe everyone is free to believe if they want to. Believing doesn't harm, abusing it does.

      That's a secular way of thinking. If you thought it was literally true that apostasy sent ppl to hell, wouldn't you ban it?

      Honestly..if it were true it would be history. And they'd believe in that or some else and go to church, work, pray, eat, sleep and repeat.

      You're not responding to what I'm saying. Muslims really believe what they say they do & act accordingly.

      Think how you'd act if what they believed was true and then realise that they think it is. Put yourself in someone else's place.

      I find it easy because I was someone who believed literally in religious texts but its easy to do thought experiment. Imagine its true.

      It is literally true that the God of this holy text exists & wrote down what he wanted for humanity & controls your eternity. What do u do?

      My imagination is really not good enough for God images. My brain automatically squashes it.I never believed in gods as a kid..they tried..

      You're one of those natural sceptics? I envy you. Michael Shermer's Believing Brain offers some hypotheses for why some people are.

      But it might make it hard for you to understand how belief in a set of ideas can dominate ethical thinking.

          Hm. Yet it's easy for me to differentiate between a radical idea and the original ideology it claims itself to be. Why?

          I don't know. What are ISIS doing that is not in the Quran?

          I've never read that book. Muslim followers can answer that better. My understanding is that it's misinterpreted and abused for power..
