    The Qur’an has the same fundamental problems that the bible has. That it’s based on Hebrew scripture and history.

    The Abrahamic god is the very premise of do what I say, not what I do and might makes right. It is god who decides what is right.

    Do not commit murder, unless I say so. Do not steal, unless I say so.

    It’s easy to say the west doesn’t believe in anything. But society long predates any god.

    There is a social contract that most who live in that society prescribe to and agree to follow to a greater or lesser extent. That’s what binds us as humans. Together we are greater than the sum of our parts. This is how we’ve thrived across our history and how we stand where we do today.

    No god(s) needed.

      There’s no “what I do”, God created the whole universe and is outside of it, he’s not walking the world with us, lol. He’s looking from the outside like a man with an ant farm except he’s not a man. And no, the Qur’an is pretty well defined morally, of course it’s God who decides what’s right or wrong. You’ve been more than patient and open minded so I’m not gonna continue, I do thank you for your time and hey, maybe you’re right and there’s no need for belief in Europe, we’ll make do without it. I doubt it, but maybe. Take care! 👍

        I hope you realise the truth some day.

        There’s a lot to live for (even with the state of the world today) without need of the supernatural.

        All the best!
