This has been hashed over time and again here and elswhere, but once again for your edification: The Gospels relieve the burden, responsibility, and most importantly, the AUTHORITY for men to enforce God's Law. Jesus absolved us of all of that. Anyone here on Earth that is still doing so and claiming Scriptural authority to do so is WRONG.
The Quran, on the other hand, includes the same Law. God's Law, they just call Him "Allah" instead. The Quran mentions no Savior, like Jesus Christ, that came to "fullfill" the requirements of that Law.

Well Jeff, you believe what you believe. And that is just fine. I have different views - and that is just fine as well.
I think I understand Christians and Christianity very well, having grown up in family full of them. If you have never met a Christian that doesn't discriminate, you live on a planet that is very different from mine.
My comments were prompted by the 'learned' exchange earlier in the thread about whether or not homosexuality was condoned in the old testatment. A truly silly exchange in my view, and one that I still compare to Mullahs looking in the Koran to support whatever twisted proposition requires such support.
And I read carefully what you said about the gospels and the old testament. But I don't buy it. Sorry. The argument that goes "my book is better than your book" is not all that convincing.
