    The Bible doesn't have any of that stuff...
    Somebody needs to grow the hell up and learn the difference between the Old and New Testaments.

    Everyone's talking about the difference between Moses and Jesus.

    It's always special to have a special book and to pick and choose the special parts you especially like.

    Why do Christians get to pick and choose the parts of their book they support, but Muslims don't?

    Because the book explicitly says things have changed.

    For the record, the Koran is basically the exact opposite of the Bible. The Koran starts with peace and tolerance and gets progressively more violent and hateful. The Bible moves in the opposite direction. So if you assume that things written later trump things written earlier (as basically every faith does), you get predominately peaceful New Testament Christians and many significantly violent Muslims. Because that's what their holy texts produce.

    But you don't have to agree with that interpretation of the texts, you can just look at the followers of said texts for evidence. Violent Muslims make a lot more headlines than violent Christians for a reason, and it's not media bias. There are a hell of a lot more people reading the Koran who think "this is telling me to be violent" than those reading the Bible who take it that way.
    I'm not defending Islam, I'm pointing out the massive issue with interpretation of old text written by a bunch of cave people.

    This issue is not unique to any religion. It might be the one thing that they all have in common.

    Not unpleasant because of lack of skills, mind you.

    Can't wait for the honeymoon to GORST.
