For both religions we have to choose which end of our Holy Books we want to go by to understand God's nature, and what that means to how we live our lives.
Another indicator that both are political tomes written to serve purposes less than the divine.
How bout they throw out the actual text of both books and live by the better angels of secular humanist tolerance?
... never mind.

So help me out here. The Ḥadīth is a big work. Point me in a direction here.
Even behind a link is fine by me. I trust you ... and more.

Re: Violence in Bible versus Koran
You're welcome although I'm too obtuse to understand your reference to a "petal." Sounds nice though, so thanks again.
Ahh, you noticed. (blush)

Re: Biblical slavery
No the Bible does not "sanction" slavery, it treats it as a No the Bible does not "sanction" slavery, it treats it as a universal social practice that was so entrenched it had to wait until the culture was more advanced to be able to do away with it. that was so entrenched it had to wait until the culture was more advanced to be able to do away with it.
So your god was already adept at relative morality.
Since this culture is now even more advanced and is well on its way toward changing the universal social practices of homophobia are you willing to accept gay marriage in modern society? Any problems with premarital sex? How about eating shellfish?

Re: Biblical slavery
There is no such thing as homophobia in the sense used by Cultural Marxist Political Correctness and is not a sin in any case ...
Spoken like a true alt-right bigot with no compassion for the reality of the human condition. Blind and severely insensitive. Christian.
You really should not try to think about these things. You aren't any good at it.
Ohh, ho! Now YOU'RE flirting with ME, aren't ya! You naughty little thing.
