Most of the Christians and Muslims I know maintain that their Gods are all about love. They say only extremists who misinterpret The New Testament and the Quran are intolerant and violent. Yet here we go:
"Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come." (The New Testament, Matthew 12:32)
"He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned." (The New Testament, Mark 16:16)
"He may reward those who believe and do good works with equity; while, as for those who disbelieve, theirs will be a boiling drink and painful doom because they disbelieved." (The Quran, Yunus 3)
How can one interpret this as the pronouncements of a god of love? And if we are going to pick and choose what we like from these books, why not make our own principles, and leave the holy books aside once and for all???
