(2,884 posts)Yes, you are absolutely right fundamentalist Christians are, for lack of a better word, 'weird'.
(I was about to type stronger words, but let's keep it nice)
But the point I was making was about the possibility (or not) of amending the doctrine.
Fundamentalist Chtristians can have their own interpretation, but their rejection of the Big Bang or of Darwinian evolution is not even shared by the Vatican. Not to mention the female or gay bishops of the Church of England. The point here is that the original sacred book did not stop the evolution of practice, notably because the sacred book is not held to be an immutable word from God.
Whereas muhamad boxed the muslims in a corner. It's very difficult to evolve towards acceptance of gays (let alone have a gay ayatollah) when the Quran itself says homosexuality is forbidden. And, and that's where I want to underline, when the Quran is the word of God. IF the Quran is the word of god, THEN society is blocked from evolving towards accepting gays.
Don't even think about letting blasphemers get away with it.
That's how the shooters of Charlie Hebdo or Garland, Texas can think they are right.
