Are you kidding? I am saying what Islam contends, not what I as an Atheist believe. Islam contends that is not from man, but from "god", and specifically that it is the final message from "god" and is for all eternity unchangeable. Yes, there are differences in interpretation, but all interpretations are profoundly reactionary drawing as they do from the same profoundly reactionary source material that can never, ever be changed, or disregarded and that lays out a great many things in alarming specificity. I regard it all as so much malevolent gibberish, a slightly more malevolent set of gibberish than the other sets of malevolent gibberish that are out there.[/quote]

Again, you demonstrate the same contradiction. I think that it is so embedded in your thinking that you may not be able to escape from it. As an atheist, you would be expected to know that words on a paper can never be "for all eternity unchangeable" regardless of what some may think. You believe that Islam is "gibberish" and acknowledge that there are different interpretations, but then state your belief that all Muslims believe that Islam is "for all eternity unchangeable".  The simple fact that Islam is practiced differently between sects, between geographic regions, and over time shows that such change is there whether you or they choose to acknowledge it. Your statement that "all interpretations are profoundly reactionary" is ignorant beyond belief.
