"Interpretation" seems like an honest misunderstanding. But, often, history is intentionally altered to save face. Japan, for example, taught its people that they were the innocent victims of aggression. They we so far as to ask China for an apology, when China coated them in a thick froth of reality.

I have dibs on the giblets.
Well, what do you realistically expect anyone to do? I'm not running the country bro
Oh, I don't know.....execute a few people....promote others for cruel behavior....spy on phones. It seems like politics as usual.
Penis makes a man? Then how do you explain high pitched Gay basher, Jerry Falwell, who asserts that it is easy to switch genders (maybe for him)?
Young boys help them think. Maybe they should bring in some young boys to help them figure out this pedophilia issue?

Partially true, but not really accurate. You could believe or speculate there were other worlds, you just couldn't state it as fact.
While all this doesn't exactly paint the church in a much better light, stating that there were other worlds was one charge, but alongside numerous other 'more serious heresies' such as denying the divinity of Jesus, stating he was just a clever magician, denying Mary's virginity and other core points of Catholic doctrine.

I don't see these contradictions. As for your example, it's clear from the text [Jonah 2:2] that Jonah was dead in the belly of the whale. It was his departed soul that called out to God. The word 'hell' in the KJV is translated from the Hebrew 'sheol', the grave.

It looked to me like someone in a glass house throwing stones.
How?

I, too, like honesty, sincerity, straight forwardness and consistency; so, maybe you would be kind enough to answer some of my questions about Islam and the Qur'an?
Do you believe that the Qur'an is God's revelation to Muhammad?
Did Muhammad accurately recite the Qur'an in Arabic just as it was revealed to him by the Angel Gabriel?
Is there only one true version of the Qur'an in Arabic?
If there is only one true version of the Qur'an, why do scholars find it so difficult to offer an interpretation that satisfies the worldwide brotherhood of Muslims? Surely Muhammad must have explained how to follow the law that God had revealed to him and to mankind?
What is the point of having only one true version of the Qur'an if there are a thousand interpretations?
These are nice stories in a book. It has the same evidence as Pinocchio.
So, what evidence is that?

The implication of the OP is clear, you asked for Islam now you got it and you do not like it. The same could be said for any of the other Abrahamic religions if you take the religious the way the Taliban do.
Okay buddy. You fail to understand the inherent and many differences between the various Abrahamic religions and how they govern themselves. Not my problem.

As I believe you do, and your naivete leads you to miss what the op was getting at. Not my problem
Here is part of my collection of Jewish books; most of them are Torah commentaries,
For those of you wondering why I have so many siddurim, it's because I love a good compare and contrast

How fortunate that I never suggested you did, any other strawman arguments you want to start?
"You fail to understand the inherent and many differences between the various Abrahamic religions and how they govern themselves."
"As I believe you do.'
