And just so nobody thinks I’m particular in whom I pick on, here’s some lovely thoughts from another Holy Book. This time, the Koran.
First we learn that God has made his presence clear and that those who disbelieve are “miscreants”:
The Cow 99
Verily We have revealed unto thee clear tokens, and only miscreants will disbelieve in them.
And that we’ll “burn in fire” for our disbelief:
The Cow 39
But they who disbelieve, and deny Our revelations, such are rightful Peoples of the Fire. They will abide therein.
However, Allah also says that he’s responsible for making us blind! This is from the same chapter!
The Cow 6-7
As for the Disbelievers, Whether thou warn them or thou warn them not it is all one for them; they believe not.
Allah hath sealed their hearing and their hearts, and on their eyes there is a covering. Theirs will be an awful doom.
The Cow 16-18
These are they who purchase error at the price of guidance, so their commerce doth not prosper, neither are they guided.
Their likeness is as the likeness of one who kindleth fire, and when it sheddeth its light around him Allah taketh away their light and leaveth them in darkness, where they cannot see,
Deaf, dumb and blind; and they return not.
So, in one single quick 5 minute reading of the Koran, I’ve learned that I’m to be punished for not believing in Allah… but Allah made me this way!!!
Good Lord.
(and don’t even get me started on women)
The Women 34
Men are in charge of women, because Allah hath made the one of them to excel the other, and because they spend of their property (for the support of women). So good women are the obedient, guarding in secret that which Allah hath guarded. As for those from whom ye fear rebellion, admonish them and banish them to beds apart, and scourge them. Then if they obey you, seek not a way against them. Lo! Allah is ever High, Exalted, Great.
