Posted on August 14, 2014 by Ryren Cadora

It’s very, very unlikely that hell exists. But if it does, can we rely on the Quran to figure out who’s going there and who isn’t? Well, no, we can’t. In verse 3:85 the Quran tells us that everyone who follows any … Continue reading →

Quran Contradictions #5: Is slavery ok?

Posted on June 18, 2014 by Ryren Cadora
