Also, al-alethia, referring to your point about "I might learn something new in the future, and that would change me." So what? So damn what? No matter what new, impressive, "miraculous", important knowledge you obtain, would it change the fact that Allah punishes people for eternity based on finite acts? Would it change the fact that the Prophet married and had sex with a 9 year old child? Would it change the fact that apostates are to be punished by death? Would it change the fact that God purposefully decided to test us, even though most of the people in his test are predetermined to go to hell? Would it change the fact that the punishment for adultery after marriage would be stoning to death? Would it change the fact that a husband is allowed to beat his wife? Would it change the fact that a woman's testimony is consered half of what a man's is? Would it change the fact that polygamous marriages are allowed? Would it change the fact that there are passages in the Qur'aan which so easily challenge the mind through scientific contradictions (splitting of moon, splitting the sea, stars used as missiles for devils, non living objects turning into snakes, going on some imaginary pilgrimage with an imaginary horse that has a wingspan as far as you can see, sun setting it into murky water (even if it is metaphorical)? Would it change the fact that there are numerous hadith that support even more outrageous claims like the sun setting between the horns of a devil? The devil pissing in your ear? Two angels sitting on your shoulders 24/7 writing scripts for your deeds? Would it change the fact that Islam continues to be a backwards religion, empties the mind of the reasoning abilities it needs, prevents people to proceed towards its evolution, and most of all, prevents families like yours and mine to always have huge emotional disturbances? Would it?
