1) christians believe that a corpse rose from the dead?
2) muslims kill unbelievers
3) Buddhists believe in reincarnation
4) Jews obey the 10 commandments.

Keyplus, //he managed to give a book that has had no versions, no alterations, nothing added and nothing taken away for over 1400 years//

That isn’t true.

//Had he been literate then people would say he copied it from whatever else he read,//

That’s precisely why it is beneficial to Islam to claim that he was illiterate. If he was illiterate, so I am.

It is true that Muhummad (pubh) didn't alter anything he had previously recorded. He simply recorded another chapter where he gave conflicting advice and didn't seem to have a problem with the contradiction.

This is the way the "holy" books work. Any believer can find a passage that can be interpreted to match any of their beliefs and prejudices.

Beso - "... It is true that Muhummad (pubh) didn't alter anything he had previously recorded. He simply recorded another chapter where he gave conflicting advice and didn't seem to have a problem with the contradiction..."

Indeed. It is the well documented and well known concept of 'abrogation'. Something that many muslims are unaware of or are unwilling to admit exists in their religion.

We can't be sure of that, but we can be sure that others altered what had been previously recorded.

Beso/Birdie, abrogation: //None of Our revelations do We abrogate or cause to be forgotten, but We substitute something better or similar……// Surah 2:106

Wouldn’t you have thought Allah would have got in right in the first place?

Keyplus, was your question //Can you give any other example that fits the above?// [a book that has had no versions, no alterations, nothing added and nothing taken away for over 1400 years and 1.6 billion people still believe in it?]

If so, read my recent posts. Such a book doesn’t exist.

and still keep killing each other.

Keyplus, a question for you. Since the subject of abrogation has been raised, does it not strike you as odd that, on occasions, the allegedly omniscient Allah felt compelled to dictate something ‘something better or similar’? Don’t you find that just a little bit suspect?
