Its hard to take scriptures serious with verses like these

[psychoslice]

You know I tried to see the good in the Islamic faith, I read the Koran with an open mind, I tried to put myself into their place, but I couldn't keep up the persuade, it just made no sense to me what so ever. All I experienced was sadness, and evil, their whole ideology is based on horrible laws, caused by a horrible God, but because he is their God they must summit to him for they have no other choice. They say they are a religion of peace but I just cannot see that, I wish I could, I really do. I myself try to see good in everything, and mostly I do, but with this belief system called Islam I honestly cannot see that, and that is sad, I do feel for these people, I feel so sorry for them, I really do.

What are the horrible laws you saw in the Quran. Tell me two of them.

Hi to you my respected friend, yes I realize that now, but still, don't the people of Islam still keep these laws, or writings ?.

Yes... that's my understanding. The Qur'an of course has pre-eminence and is acknowledged by everyone. The Hadith traditions that you posted have varying value depending on the chain of authority they have... Some are very weak and pretty much ignored. There are five schools of jurisprudence in Islam and you have Sunni and Shiah Muslims. Shiahs value the sayings attributed to the Twelve Imams including descendants of Ali and Fatima daughter of the Prophet while Sunnis value the Hadith collections of Bukhari and Muslim. The terrorist groups are viewed as extremists by most Muslims. As to Hadiths there's a fairly good summary to be found in my view at

Proverbs 21:19 (New Living Translation)
It is better to live alone in the desert than with a crabby, complaining wife.

Have you ever lived with a crabby, complaining wife?

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

Have you ever lived with a crabby, complaining wife?

The author's wife was most likely complaining because all he ever wanted to do was hang out in the desert instead of working or getting food or whatever.

It is silly though coming from a god.

I should have listened to that silly wisdom.

Are there any YouTube videos of moderate Muslims marching on mass to demonstrate their repulsion for their violent brothers?

I believe they are smart enough to figure out that fanatics are not swayed by demonstrations. They believe they are right and everyone else is wrong.

Who is the 'B' man? The Baha'i prophet?

Also I was referring more to people outside of the Abrahmic traditions. People of eastern and new age traditions

Why do you not follow the Koran then if you believe Mohammed was a prophet?

I believe he is the founder of the Ba'hai faith but not a prophet. I have trouble spelling out his name and getting the apostrophes in the right place.

I believe I do not view Mohammed as a prophet but as a messenger. A prophet tells the future. I don't follow Mohammed because I have all I need from Jesus.

Unfortunately, they are not smart enough to figure out that the Quran is nothing but garbage.
