Good point, and that's what i meant whwn i said most people are comfortable with their religions cause it's tested as far as they are concerned.
Now about the holy books, you know what i believe in? If you read the bible in its originial text you wont find contradictions, i watched some debates for guy called Ahmad Deedat with pastors and ministers, and he shows them many verses and what they say in english, and how they're realy written in their original text.
As for quran, i believe that quran shouldnt be translated to any language, because in the process of translation the meaning of the word slip away because it depends on the perception of the translator who get the meaning from shiekhs, and those shiekhs just absorbed what came to them through history. In quran, what caused this huge issue with the mainstream understanding are two things:
1- synonymous thinking
2- giving priority for the prophet mohammad's sayings over quran.
Those two points made the disasters that you see now are being commited in the name of islam.
I can give you tens of examples on both, but im curious to know, what things that you say they're moral in wuran but you find immoral, can you give me an axample?
