Comment on What can we do when something is too vast to provide representative examples for?

No, you didn’t and no, I don’t have to. I can discard your magical book like I can any other religious book in existence.
Also, have you gone on a pilgrimage to Mecca already? Why not? After all, it says in a book that you need to.
Provide actual evidence.

Which book says I need to go on a pilgrimage to Mecca?
Maalus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
The Quran does. You obviously know that, so by now I am assuming you are just a crappy troll.

I was making sure so we’re on the same page. Let’s compare the Bible and the Qur’an, shall we?
The Bible: A compilation of poetry, stories, eyewitness accounts, songs, wisdom, letters and fulfilled prophecies written across several thousand years.
The Qur’an: A single book authored by an Arab warlord claiming to be receiving direct revelation from god, after being visited by an angel. Also claims that the Bible is a previous revelation sent, and this is the addition of it (Qur’an 5:47). Contradicts the entire message of the Bible which says that even if an angel appears in contradiction of it, they are cursed (Galatians 1:8)
They aren’t comparable.
