They too have wide variations in how believers behave.Inference seems to work well for abrahamic religions
Agreed, the leaders simply wrongly tricked the people into starting a war based upon teaching NOT in their book....Which ignores the use of Jihad during the expansion of the Muslim Empire which invaded nations that never threatened Muslims. Try again.
Some people claiming to be speakers for the book does not mean they actually teach what is in the book..... Sanctioned by whom? Politiocal leaders with a political agenda using religion to further their own ends. That is not is dispute....Neither Iberia nor India attacks Muslims. Yet both were conquered in sanctioned Jihad wars.
Declaring war politically does not mean it is a war that can actually be sanctioned by a Jihad, whether you use the name or not.....No it a declaration of war for Islam to conquer nations as per Iberia and India.
One apologist source which ignores history means nothings. History vs apologetic. History wins. Try again.
Those who never actually read the book they claim to follow, or take versus out of context....They too have wide variations in how believers behave.
yes, many misunderstand what they call the religion of Peace...... and turn it to hateful ends to justify their own hatred.....Unfortunately he is not the only one who misunderstands the qur'an, many muslims do to
One would hope so...... Got to watch out for those wolves in Sheep's clothing......The rare exception doesn't deny the tendency.
Atheists in the clergy are rarer than in the general population.
One believers correct context is another's misinterpretation.Those who never actually read the book they claim to follow, or take versus out of context....

Ahh, you confuse people claiming to be conducting a holy Jihad as being people actually conducting a holy jihad. Gotcha. Hitler was claiming to be freeing his people from the oppression of the Jews. I suppose you bought that story too?????
Would that be like considering a priest who started the inquisition as a justified holy war???? Or just a sheep in wolves clothing looking out for his own ends and using religion to further his goal, which would not even make him a priest.....
Atheists are "wolves"?One would hope so...... Got to watch out for those wolves in Sheep's clothing......
One evolutionists misinterpretation is another's scientific fact....One believers correct context is another's misinterpretation.
Aye, people misunderstand science regularly.One evolutionists misinterpretation is another's scientific fact....
Or just trying to suck up power after his death....Or those leaders being relatives of Muhammad knew what it really means.
like your, oh, my bad, lack of any backing references?Like your linked website?
And that makes them what? Prophets because Mohammad was????The relatives of Muhammad and his companions, themselves.
Claims the Jihadist.... to usually serve his own hatred....Nope as Jihad can be waged until the whole world is under an Islamic government.
like your, oh, my bad, lack of any backing references?Like your website? Hilarious that your own criticism can be applied to your views but you are oblivious to that.
like your, oh, my bad, lack of any backing references?Like your website or your proclaiming what is Jihad?
Except unlike theories that can shift like silly putty to meet the whims of any.... it's written in black and white and all one needs do is read it for themselves and judge whether what someone says matches what is written. Not just follow blindly what someone standing on a pulpit says, be that a religious or scientific pulpit.Aye, people misunderstand science regularly.
But at least competing theories can be tested.
Religious truths though....nicht einmal falsch, eh.
So variation in belief is much greater.
This isn't accurate.Except unlike theories that can shift like silly putty to meet the whims of any...
Taking the Bible as an example........it's written in black and white and all one needs do is read it for themselves and judge whether what someone says matches what is written. Not just follow blindly what someone standing on a pulpit says, be that a religious or scientific pulpit.
No, no, no.And if it is not even wrong, then it is right.

I know your not. And I said if you did then perhaps Atheists would have a better reputation by getting those out that should never be in the Religion to begin with.
And that is the problem with the Bible. It is wrong so often and there is no way to correct it. As a result you have to pretend that one of science's greatest strengths is a weakness.Except unlike theories that can shift like silly putty to meet the whims of any.... it's written in black and white and all one needs do is read it for themselves and judge whether what someone says matches what is written. Not just follow blindly what someone standing on a pulpit says, be that a religious or scientific pulpit.
And if it is not even wrong, then it is right.

Until both were applied outside the solar system and GR which was 99.8% accurate inside the solar system to non-ionized matter without any additional theory added to it, suddenly didn't work at all and needed 96% Fairie Dust added to it to make it fit a semblance of reality......This isn't accurate.
For example, Newtonian gravity was only superseded by general relativity
because of discoveries in the real world. This didn't happen because of a whim.
Unless we talk about Dark Matter, dark Energy, or xpanding space, then that's proven fact, right????? All those things not needed where GR was tested to that 99.8% accuracy?The same is true in thermodynamics, metallurgy, chemistry, etc, etc.
If one claims a bogus theory, a single test it will prove it wrong.
If one claims a useful theory, repeated testing will confirm it, ie, fail to disprove it.
(But it cannot be proven "true". No telling when a better theory could arise.)
Like not every science classroom uses the same books?Taking the Bible as an example....
It's a collection of some books, but not all the same books for every flavor of Christianity.
Not my fault you didn't look up the words in Hebrew.... to see what they actually mean in Hebrew, instead of just accepting someone else's word....And they it's a translation of a translation of various cullings of a plethora of books.
Because some refuse to accept what the Hebrew word "hayah" means in Hebrew.... But we are discussing peoples distorted view of time dilation in another thread if you care to join. You can take their side and support the twin who's clocks changed before his eyes while he believed they didn't change at all..... Deny reality just like they are....Top that off with poetic language which can lead a believer to think the age of the Earth
ranges from 6000 to 4B years. They simply cannot agree except within narrow sects.
which would be dissident scientific papers in science jargon....And then there's the Koran....
Like the 26 definitions of what species is because no one can agree on what it actually is?????Just look at all the competing readings of it. Hadiths rule for some, but are invalid for others.
Tis the religion of peace....or of killing the infidel.
Or magical dark Matter exists in halos around the galaxy while ignoring those plasma halos right where it was supposed to be and was "dark" before we could see it????No, no, no.
It's not even wrong because it cannot be verified to be either right or wrong.
Example: 98 undetectable angels dance on the head of a pin.
Yet despite your claiming you can't prove it right or wrong, you consider it wrong..... wouldn't that be the definition of insanity????It's not right because it cannot be verified.
It's not even wrong because it cannot be disproven.
Some background.....

Please you are projecting again. You are the one that believes in magic. Just because you do not understand something does not mean that the other side is appealing to magic.Until both were applied outside the solar system and GR which was 99.8% accurate inside the solar system to non-ionized matter without any additional theory added to it, suddenly didn't work at all and needed 96% Fairie Dust added to it to make it fit a semblance of reality......
Unless we talk about Dark Matter, dark Energy, or xpanding space, then that's proven fact, right????? All those things not needed where GR was tested to that 99.8% accuracy?
For someone claiming to believe in GR you sure dismissed it awfully fast when it tried to tell you something by being 99.8% correct inside the solar system to non-ionized matter, but failing by 96% outside applied to ionized matter.... Couldn't just be because plasma 99.9% of the universe has it's own physics that is applied to it in every laboratory, could it????

Or expanding nothing that only happens way out that a way where it cant be verified in any lab....

Depends if we label wolves in sheep's clothing as sheep.... or the wolves they actually are.....Why would atheists need a better reputation? By all common standards of morality they outperform Christians.
