Forgive me if if I don't make any serious attempt to evaluate that "evidence"! Suffice it to say that I see your mutual animosity is mobile... You already know (I think) that the only parts of ANY religions I respect are those parts which do NOT teach cruelty, violence, racism, sexism, superiority, exclusivity, and absurdity. The problem with religion is that people tend to buy into the ALL OR NOTHING paradigm. Thus the accidental aphorism that is sublime gets juxtaposed with primitive and savage opinions from the Dark Ages or earlier... Having said that...I certainly respect your right to embrace the opinion of any person from any century, tribe, or culture. But will you stand side by side with others and denounce ALL religious justifications for kidnapping, torture, killing, racism, genocide, and mistreatment? Will you speak against Muslims, Christians, Jews, Hindus, Sikhs, and others? Will you condemn the scriptures and the words used to justify atrocities? Will you vilify the murder and the murderers?
