Should we urge our governments to force changes to the violent misogynistic Qur’an and Bible to make those documents more civilized?
Who cares about the documents?
It's the people that need changing.

I agree that it is people who need changing but if we do not urge them to improve their teaching and indoctrination tools, that change in people will not happen.
I wasn't talking about the people who follow the religions.
I was talking about the people who use religious freedom as an excuse to turn their heads to misogyny, homophobia, bigotry, and general oppression.

Love your enemies!

Have you not noted that even the most progressive counties are not quite walking their talk yet.
Define 'progressive'.

Re: respect vs tolerance
Thank God, in the US, "The Bible told me so" is not accepted as defense for antisocial behavior.
Except for politicians...

If one part of the whole bible is bull----, isn't the rest of it?
Huh?
Of course not.
Everything gets judged on its own merits.
Isn't that picking and choosing what you want to believe?
Is there a problem with that?

Love your enemies!

But, if you believe the bible is the "word of god" then you can't pick and choose, can you?
GDR doesn't believe the bible is the "word of god":
quote:
GDR in Message 195:
I essentially look at the Bible as a book written by mostly well meaning but still flawed human beings.

Those are the "believers" that will still go to the wrong "place", correct?
Huh?

it's the ones who pervert the meanings in the books.
And what meanings are those?
