The Bible is more violent than the Quran

Quote from Free Thinker:

if god is all knowing shouldnt his book be filled with all the knowledge in the world?
Maybe he doesn't want you to know everything for fear you'd become a haughty arrogant condescending self righteous dick.
 
Quote from Free Thinker:

If you find it is true and can prove that such a detestable act has occurred among you, you must attack that town and completely destroy all its inhabitants, as well as all the livestock. Then you must pile all the plunder in the middle of the street and burn it. Put the entire town to the torch as a burnt offering to the LORD your God. That town must remain a ruin forever; it may never be rebuilt.

I find that kinda cool to be honest
 
Quote from Brass:

I don't have a horse in this race because I think all religion is bankrupt. However, based on comparative analysis, there are many references citing the Bible as being much more violent than the Quran.

That's such a lie.

the bible lectures people on what to wear and what to eat but it lacks a simple command that has caused millons of unwanted deaths. "thou shalt boil the water". why? because germs were not a concept the ignorant men who wrote the bible understood.

All those foods that the bible "lectures" you shouldn't eat are foods that modern day scientists have discovered increase your risk greatly for cancer.

Also, do you have any evidence that people died 3000 years ago from drinking contaminated water? Try to remember that water wasnt as poluted 3,000 years ago as it is today.

Also, if the bible gave you complex answers about microbes and cells and hyper galactic warp engines, then you would no longer have a choice of whether to believe or not. You would have too much evidence to deny it. God gives us a choice and gives us free will and the ability to think free, Free thinker.

You point was about violence in the Bible and Quran.

My point was that it would be like an adult watching kindergarteners kill each other over "Dick And Jane" vs Dr Seuss.

That is, unless a kindergartner claims to understand as much as an adult...

ok lets see if i get it. god threatens to torture you forever if you dont believe in him yet he hides because if he showed himself everyone would believe in him.

makes perfect sense. and you wonder why christians are ridiculed?


Bertrand Russell And if there were a God, I think it very unlikely that He would have such an uneasy vanity as to be offended by those who doubt His existence
