    Just seeing them presented in a different light may be helpful.

    The Bible: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com

    The Quran: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/index.htm

    Book of Mormon: http://skepticsannotatedbible.com/BOM/index.htm

    Aum Shanti
    Awesome! I took a glance at the Bible one and that's perfect how it shows the horrors that I know are there but don't have off the tip of my tongue. Shows all the contradictions too-a loving God and then in 1 Peter talking about how people are pre-destined to damnation or salvation. As if God is a God that treats us as toys who he hand picks. So a nasty judgmental hater of others Christian who wouldn't recognize the Christ he worships gets eternal bliss over the person who is kind and compassionate? That's not MY God.

    Well, I must say that's not my God either.

    I think it's cowardly to tell someone you will go to Hell if you don't believe what they do. Eternal damnation is something you can't be shown wrong about. It happens in a far away plane of existence that no one can see. Jews believe that the good and evil are rewarded and punished right here on earth, in their daily lives, for all to see. I think that takes a bit more chutzpah to say, because it leaves you exposed for people to look at if it worked against you.
