And how can you claim the whoever had translated the Quran first in other language from Arabic is right ????
You've got to be kidding me! Show me all the available translations and point out which translation of Quran explicitly bans all forms of slavery or beating women.
Even if slavery is approved of in a symbolic manner - the idea is outdated by a century. Humans have moved beyond that. We've had the will to abolish slavery in toto. However,
God did not seem interested 1400 years ago.
Apparently, the socio-economic situations had him constrained. For the sake of all the nice things attributed to God by all religions - hey, I expected a little more authority and love for humans from him.
Think about it - A God - He loves us all so much - yet kills kids with cancer, blinds them, amputates them and watches kids getting molested by humans in hundred all across the world. I don't see any love from God.
If I had the power to stop every crime against a kid or a woman in the world - I'd stop everything in a jiff. Not stand back and watch. Wont you do the same?
That much compassion is left in every human mind. However, God - it appears is a lot more slow.
People give me the excuse that God will punish them in hell. We're all deluding ourselves. We have no proof for God or hell or any of his punishments.
We are cowards. We don't want to take the responsibility of taking forward our civilization. We attribute all the nonsense to a super-natural. We are weak and meek.
Right now - there is no pressing need for a God or any of his 'religions'.
They have become irrelevant just like the Qurans instructions about slavery.
Humans - acknowledge the fact or not - have by their progress in science and civilization made religion and all religious laws irrelevant.
Every religion is so unscientific and full of yarns spun by the wise to herd over the deluded! Let's believe in what we see and verify - lets not long for something to be ruling us from up above. We have to rule over ourselves and make our destiny.
If there was a God - he'll respect us for that.
There is no incident quoted in History not even by Western writers which suggests that Prophet (PBUH) ever beaten his wives.
I was not accusing Mohammad of beating anybody.
BTW - nothing bad about Mohammad could survive. So we only have the Muslim side of the story. Even in this modern age many Muslims threaten to kill those who make mere cartoons of Mohammad. 1400 years ago - amongst those Arabs - you expect me to believe that any criticism of Mohammad would've survived?
The critic would be slaughtered like sheep.
No offense meant etc. Straight from the heart. Just think about what I've written. Makes a lot of sense to me.
