Granted, the Bible is longer than the Quran, but I still think it's pretty interesting. I'm curious about the "sex" part of it. Yeah, you know me, always about the sex hahaha. Anyway, it's interesting because it is referred to in the Quran just from the little reading of it I have gotten through so far, but not always directly using the word, so I'm wondering about the comparison of not the literal word but the act and if it's any different. Also, how much of it is positive and negative references. One thing I really don't like about Christianity, at least in the US, is how negative they portray sex and how you basically are a bad person for wanting it. Thanks Puritans! I would have thought this mentality would have died out with the crazed cult who completely abstained from sex to a point where they all, literally, died off. Good job guys!
