"The great enemy of the truth is very often not the lie -- deliberate,
contrived and dishonest, but the myth, persistent, persuasive, and
unrealistic. Belief in myths allows the comfort of opinion without the
discomfort of thought."

John F Kennedy

Wow, JFK is one to talk about dishonesty etc, isn't it miss monroe.
 
I agree with sex before marriage, because an ugly bugger like myself is unlikely to get married. At least now there was the occasional drunken romp.

I believe that sex before marriage is ok but I don't believe in casual sex. Cue the 'George Jetson is a ***' comments
 
Ok then, explain to me what it means.

In a nutshell

the quran is a way of life for a muslim not a non muslim
so all that is written in it is as guidance for a muslim

That particular passage (although often cited on the athiest websites, where i am assuming you got it from? apologies if wrong but coincidence? as it seemed similar the last time we 'spoke')

the passage is talking about falsehood if you will, it talks of a mirage in the desert, which a thirsty person will head towards but find it wasnt water
in th esame way a muslim can see a mirage, heads towards it only to find it doesnt exist.

the verse is calle the light, and it is od's and dont's if you will. the verse before the one you quoted talk about giving charity etc

by the way i aint a muslim scholar or anything, this is my understanding

The Taliban flaunt the musings in the Qur'an all the time.

Google their abuses of it and you'll see what I mean. <ok>

Religion is seen as some sort of tool to manipulate the weak, nothing else <ok>
 
Don't worry, that's his speciality. You'll actually put it down to him in a "Yes or No" format and he'll still bluster about some other ****e.

But he is an ex-teacher don't you know...<laugh><laugh><laugh>

I suppose i could rsort to childish insults and smileys. HMMM

maybe not, you would have to be a right nobhead to do that.............

sorry BH forgot you were there

They pervert their faith into something it is not to justify their actions. Is that so hard to understand? There are millions of Muslims who practice their faith in peace and do not murder anyone.

Also, the Taliban and Al Qaeda believe that they are fighting a holy war but the words 'holy' and 'war' do not appear together in the Qur'an.
 
no worries

It seems i dont understand the question

if you care to explain. I will endeavour to give my answer <ok>

Fair do's, here you go (and George, feel to put your 2 pennys in aswell) <ok> -

If someone doesn't agree with something like for instance the policy on immigration (just an example btw) then it's human nature to denigrate it and say 'what a load of rubbish', so why should religion be any different?

well they are not the authourity on th equran or Islam. despite what people tell you
they also tend to be widely illiterate, due to the fighting they have endured in afghanistan since time began

Their abuses are often exaggerated as this seems to be the 'done thong' as they are currently the enemy

But you highlight an important point, and that is people see the taliban or saudi arabia and think islam/muslim

not so

You're not a ***. Theres nothing wrong with believing in something. I'd rather screw a girl i know and like rather than someone you've only just met.

I Googled 'Quran atheist quote', actually.
I was aware of it, but didn't know the exact wording.

The end of the quote clearly isn't talking about an unfortunate accident befalling those that believe in some falsehood.
"there indeed he finds God, and He pays him his account in full; (and God is swift at the reckoning)".

I thought i had answered that???

i think every one has the right to say 'what a load of rubbish', including about religion
