Yes but however bad the Old Testament's recommendations are in how to treat
unbelievers the Koran's ideas on that subject are 10 times worse. And
although in some ways the New Testament is kinder and gentler than the Old
in other ways it is not. Yahweh may be the most unpleasant character in all
of fiction but at least when you were dead he was through messing around
with you; but when you kick the bucket Jesus is just getting warmed up and
is determined to torturer you at a intensity level beyond human imagination
and to keep doing it not for an astronomical number of years but for an
INFINITE number of years. But never forget, He loves you!
