Another precious life lost to an erroneous human text.
God has no enemies, never has, for what has a God to gain by creating enemies; it is man alone who creates enemies for mans own purpose not God. God is simply the usual non-existent ultimate authority from on high utilised to justify the despicable murder of many and obliterate the conscience of the perpetrators.
The degree to which harm is promoted in texts and/or used to facilitate its acceptance is a true measure of the degree to which the text diverges from not only humanities notions of natural justice but the notion of God as a being infinite in justice and goodness and the basis of all logic and rationality.
Only fools with treacherous designs against the peaceful coexistence of justified independent thought would promote and justify grievous harm against fellow human beings simply because they are of another race or creed or some of which may have peacefully raised objections to or just showed no interest in a text.
How can a God be so inept and incoherent in purpose in transcripts of God’s own text that it remains so unconvincing as to require either the threat of or actual grievous harm to be visited upon human beings to maintain observance by adherents and punish those who justifiably disbelieve or do not show the required level of observance to the text. Not to mention a convenient toll (tax) on those who have the temerity to consistently observe there are a somewhat gapping flaws in the argument and refuse to submit intellectually or even pretend to enable the preservation of their lives and chattels.
Such a notion that a text straight from God requires a notion of such a level of Grievous harm, mistrust and condemnation to maintain and promote an authenticity of a God’s text against fellow human beings, created by God in the first place, is an absurdity.
If Gods text is so riven to be incoherent by human transcription to even the most humble of humans then God’s choice of transcribers are clearly suspect. To accept such a notion clearly means God is inept as well as incoherent – this is clearly impossible.
Therefore any text requiring the menacing of fellow human beings simply because those humans do not understand what is being purported to be a text of God is not from God but from man and should be treated as such. Incoherence is not a property of God it is definitely a property of man.
“As to those who reject the faith, it is the same to them whether thou warn them or do not warn them; they will not believe.
Allah hath set a seal on their hearts and on their hearing, and on their eyes is a veil; great is the penalty they (incur).
… and Allah has increased their disease; and grievous is the penalty they (incur), because they are false (to themselves).
…. then fear the fire whose fuel is Men and Stones – which is prepared for those who reject faith.”
Parents create a child, from birth they seal the child’s hearing and blind it to the world then contrive to either inform or not inform the child of their supposed truths, the child does not respond appropriately and then the child is set alight on a bed of fiery stones. God the merciful what a joke, God the megalomaniac more like it.
This is clearly written by man for man based on a cultural abhorrence of citizen independence and is no way can have been derived from a God of compassion and justice – wakeup.
Which text is stronger one you can easily promote and defend with words or one you need to promote and defend with the projection of fear and terror? Which of the texts is more likely to have been derived from a just and merciful God?
To demand pity and mercy whilst showing no pity or mercy is a true sign of a coward.
What century is this?
