Name that hater
Leonard Pitts has an interesting quiz for those who think they know religions. He has taken four quotations from religious texts and asks the reader to identify whether the quotation is from the Bible or the Quran. All or none is also a choice here. See how well you do.
• “. . . Wherever you encounter [non-believers], kill them, seize them, besiege them, wait for them at every lookout post . . .”You can read his column to find the answers.
• “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword.”
• “If your very own brother, or your son or daughter, or the wife you love, or your closest friend secretly entices you, saying, ‘Let us go and worship other gods’ . . . do not yield to him or listen to him. Show him no pity. Do not spare him or shield him. You must certainly put him to death.”
• “Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man.”
