Seriously, when you see bishops ranging from condoning the death penalty for gays (Nigeria) to being gay themselves (US, UK), the impartial observer can only conclude they do not read from he same book.

Since they do read from the same book, the impartial observer can only conclude that book is as much a source of moral guidance as, say, the road map to Interstate 97.

In short, let the Quran become just some kind of totem, its useless and violent content unread and forgotten.
