@Freed0m - It doesn't matter if those atrocious quotes were from the New Testament. The Bible, from a Christian's point of few, is a perfect book written by a perfect deity. So why is that even there in the first place? Why does Jesus have to come along and correct his dad? When, in fact, Jesus stated he wasn't here to abolish the old law, rather to FULFILL the law.

The religion is founded off of violence. You see, most Muslims are never exposed to the atrocities found in the Quran and instead are taught the minority of the loving aspects, because Muslims aren't allowed to question their religion.

Quran (2:244) - "Then fight in the cause of Allah, and know that Allah Heareth and knoweth all things." (This verse in the Quran clearly commands Muslims to fight in the name of Allah. ISIS and many other Muslim terrorists in history would be inspired by this.)

Quran (2:216) - "Fighting is prescribed for you, and ye dislike it. But it is possible that ye dislike a thing which is good for you, and that ye love a thing which is bad for you. But Allah knoweth, and ye know not." (This verse establishes that violence can be virtuous.)

Quran (3:56) - "As to those who reject faith, I will punish them with terrible agony in this world and in the Hereafter, nor will they have anyone to help." (Condemns people of different faiths and threatens eternal suffering.)

The list could go on but you see my point. Islam, much like the Bible, preaches love and tolerance in one part and hate in the other. This manipulative love-hate tactic is used to draw people in until they are incapable of critical thought. They're hypnotized at this point. A lot of abusers use this tactic on their victims as well; first they do many acts of kindness to ''woo'' their victims, and once they've officially lured them in, they're trapped and can't get out.

The Bible is a book of contradictions. And many of the things found in the Bible have later proven to be scientifically false. For example, the world isn't flat, and bats aren't a type of bird. There is also no evidence to support that a Great Flood ever really occurred. And the world indeed is not 6000 years old. But Christians are still desperate to believe and can't let go of the idea they cling onto so tightly so they go back and excuse them as ''metaphors''. Oh, the whole beating your slaves and selling them part? Yeah, totally a metaphor!

The point of life in prison is to spend the rest of your dreadful life rotting in a prison cell, reflecting on your wrongdoings. By giving prisoners the option to off themselves when they feel like grants them the choice to get away with the crime that they committed, thus warding off the punishment that they deserve to fulfill. I know if I were sentenced to life in prison for a horrific crime, such as murder, I would probably choose to kill myself to escape my punishment. But justice wouldn't be served. We can't let people get away with their crimes.
