The Koran denies the divinity of Jesus. Do you have an "explanation" for this? Why would we not immediately believe the textual evidence? It claims to be Godly inspired. Why should we not immediately fall face down and acknowledge its textual validity?
Yes, I have an explanation. If true, that is if the Koran denies the divinity of Jesus then my explanation is that it means what it says: the Koran denies the divinity of Jesus.
Why should we not immediately fall face down and acknowledge its textual validity?
But validity is not and was not the issue (nice try at bait and switch). The issue WAS your assumptions contrary to what Text says. My on-going point is: either what it says is true or false AND NOT the third option that you attempt: it really means something else. If it meant something else then why didn't it say "that something else"?
The Koran is simply wrong. The evidence says so. I am sure Muslims disagree but that is not the point. The point is that persons like you say A means Z based on subjective bias and preconceptions.
A is either true or false.
Thanks for the presumption Ray, but I am not a Atheist.
Then why do you use traditional Atheist arguments?
Do you believe the Bible should be placed above any analysis and questioning?
Of course not. I believe the Bible stands or falls based on what it says. OTOH, your kind says what it says does not mean what it says = corruption. It means what it says and what it says is either true or false. Same for the Koran.
What a hoot. Ray you are the one with the ulterior motive. You are making an emotional quixotic stand against all reason, data, logic, good judgment and common sense.
Comment presupposes that what you say is reasonable and logical and common sense (very predictable). I have shown that it is not reasonable or logical or common sense, but Atheist corruption of the Bible.
Your last refuge when cornered is to hurl the ole "Atheists and Darwinists" label, which you believe fixes all leaks in your reasoning and logic.
This comment demands that Atheist "reasoning" and "logic" and "common sense" be not pointed out. Why would anyone object to Atheist handling of their enemy (the Bible) not be exposed?
This is why Atheists own collars and crosses, like Ken Miller and John Shelby Spong and dress like sheep (= Jar).
Give me honest Atheists like Richard Dawkins, Crashfrog or Brian Johnston of Scotland. I'll take these persons any day. They say the Bible is wrong and do not attempt to corrupt what it says.
