Qur'an isnot production of someoneelses' ego and not my egos' either.

so it is egotistical to believe anything except your religion?

there is only one reality. i mean the real one, not man made. people could believe in many Gods. a friend of mine used to say this: everyone believes in his own God that dies with him. kinda right. instead of the Creator itself, one might establish his personal God and follow it till he dies. that would be his ego what he follows in fact. therefor it depends on person himself, his God would be anything he likes. he worships his ego.

This is no different then Man writing a book then going out and kill people and then when asked way he says that the one true god told me in this book. One learn about other religions that believe in more then one God before you go and say something about them you know nothing about.

not exactly. there are Muslims who follow their egos. they say they do it for Allah but Allah doesnot command anything like their actions. suicide bombs for example.

I don't know...hmmm lets see, I've seen Christians use there book for that, I've seen Muslims do this, and even in the Old Testament (Part of the Jewish faith), God told them to kill people. If you really look into the cultures and religions of the past that had more then one God, no one ever went are kill people because there God said so, weather the made statues of them or not, but those with a book and one God did kill people in his name because the said he said so.
