Reflect:
In class this week we discussed the Koran. We had a list of questions to answer regarding the Koran, we were to go around the room and say how we answered the question. The question I answered was compare and contrast the views of god and morality described in the Koran with those found in the Hebrew Scriptures and the New Testament. I said that in the Koran, the way they talk about Allah is very respectful and they are very grateful to him for making the world around them but in the Bible, the people almost fear their god. They make him sound like a being who created the earth and then isn't happy with it so he destroys everything he made. The people don't seem thankful, they seem a bit frightened. You can sense the dictatorship almost, in the way god behaves. You can tell there is fear in the Bible were there is only love and devotion in the Koran.
