As one Muslim scholar put it, «Shari`ah instructs man on how he should eat, receive visitors, buy and sell, slaughter animals, clean himself, sleep, go to the toilet, lead a government, practice
justice, pray, and perform other
acts of [
worship].»
A God who could make good children
as easily
as bad, yet preferred to make bad ones; who could have made every one
of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; who made them prize their bitter life, yet stingily cut it short; who gave his angels eternal happiness unearned, yet required his other children to earn it; who gave his angels painless lives, yet cursed his other children with biting miseries and maladies
of mind and body; who mouths
justice, and invented hell - mouths mercy, and invented hell - mouths Golden Rules and forgiveness multiplied by seventy times seven, and invented hell; who mouths morals to other people, and has none himself; who frowns upon crimes, yet commits them all; who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's
acts upon man, instead
of honorably placing it where it belongs, upon himself; and finally, with altogether divine obtuseness, invites his poor abused slave to
worship him!
