(If you have not read Part 1, Part 2 & 3. Read them here:
Are holy texts really worth killing for?
What kind of god tells people to kill other people who don't belong to their religion?
All
the holy texts claim to be work from the same author. God.
Yet,
all of them contain mutually contradictory version of God and the other
beliefs.
In
each case the beliefs and postulates are tailor made according to the times and the
place people lived in. In Quran, it says that the earth is flat and space tech has proven that the earth is a sphere. Bible says that the earth is only several thousand years old and Christians merrily fill their vehicles' petrol tanks with fossil fuel that formed in the earth's crust billions of years ago.
It's funny how God had to limit the ultimate truth according to Geography.
Guess
mortals like Newton and Einstein did far better, whose equations work the same
equally well in the Middle East, the United States, India.and the rest of the world.
If
holy texts are revelations from God, and if God is one, then multiple holy
texts is a proof that either they are not all revelations from the same God, or
the person typing the revelations made huge typological errors.
In
both the cases, the so called divinity does not deserve to be guarded with the threat of violence!
Be humans first, then talk about emulating god.
I leave you with this timeless and thought provoking quote from Epicurus:
Is god willing to prevent evil, but not able? Than he is not omnipresent.
Is god able, but not willing? Than he is malevolent.
If he is both willing and able, than where come the evil?
If he is not both willing nor able, than why call him god?
