Let them rewrite the whole book, maybe it will curb some violence.
You are simply regurgitating the classic theist attack on Atheists and Agnostics, namely that they can't be moral without believing in a supreme deity. The problem you theists have with this is that:
a) animals (other than humans) exhibit moral behavior
b) you theists cherry-pick what you follow from the New and Old testament and if you are Muslim then you cherry-pick what you follow from the Quran.
Slavery, stoning women for adultery , having sex with a 9 year old , genocide - are all supported in the Abrahamic religions but most people don't support them . So clearly most Christians , Jews and Muslims cherry-pick what Biblical and Quranic commands/laws they follow based on their own moral compass.
So Muhammed having sex with a 9 year old does not support your argument against Atheists , rather it works against you argument by showing that theistic religions and its adherents have committed a lot of immoral acts despite professing to believe in a supreme being.
Relative to Islam , Judaism and Brahminical-Hinduism I would agree. But even the NT condones slavery. The pro-slavery ante-bellum South used the Bible to justify it. Some Christians did use the Bible to attack Slavery but the pro-Slavery advocates have theology on their side.
Is this just an attack on atheists or some shit? It's hard to believe you are trying to actually ask people why murder and rape are wrong..
Honestly what the fuck are you saying you are just derailing this shit
Uhh, it's wrong to think that morality and success are at all related. for fucks sake...Is murder wrong according to evolution? Is killing wrong in the animal kingdom?
I'm not derailing i'm just wondering why microbrew is condemning muhammad based on is own moral opinions? It seems to me that muhammad was actually a huge success according to evolution. Muhammad accomplished his materialistic dreams and fleshly desires.
Why is that wrong?

Above poster was right. Let them write the whole book if it makes the world better.Next Islamic revisionists will be saying Muhammad was a peaceful pacifist.
Islam is a disease....and I do feel sorry for people born into it.OR be born into it and when you think Islam you just think of your islamic grandmother who was the nicest person ever :/
Religion is an inherited mental disease
Yeah, but they are also trying to preach non-violence.Ah, I see now, these are ahmadiyya muslims. They are to Islam as Mormonism or Jehovah witnesses are to Christianity.

Well you're ranting about the old testament now and trying to avoid my point about atheism and morality.
It wouldn't matter if muhammad had sex with a 1 year old and a camel at the same time it wouldn't be wrong under atheistic materialism.
The reason you think muhammad was bad is because all of our western morality has been shaped by christianity.
That's why I've always said here that Christianity can not be compared to Islam because Muhammed was a warlord . And ofcourse a pedo so it is false equivalency to compare the NT to the Quran and Hadiths.Yeah, but I mean... fucking little kids?
Those in the west are lucky enough to be able to educate themselves and free themselves from their religion - for now atleastIslam is a disease....and I do feel sorry for people born into it.
As they get older,it's their responsibility to educate themselves on what a shitty ideology Islam is.
