No it is not OK. Religion is based on the idea that truth is handed down by a divine authority. Religion claims to have the ultimate truth, or THE TRUTH, and we are supposed to wait patiently for a great day of revelation. For most of us this will come after death, where if we have done all the right things, according to various scriptures, we will come to know the ultimate Truth and live in eternal bliss. For those who are errant they get to spend eternity in a pit of endless fire where they suffer until the end of time --- but somehow this God still loves us. I don't know about anyone else, but I call this a big hustle. These religions were schemes concocted by various religious and political con-men as a way people could be controlled and society choreographed according to the wishes of an ecclesiastical class. Both Christianity and Islam suffer from this problem, they are huge social-psychological cons played against people, and where these schemes have a lot of staying power. They are sorts of neural-brain memes that lodges themselves in minds and are difficult to remove. I read a translation of the Koran after 9/11. I would say my general comment is that if this were first published now, with crisp new copies available at bookstores and Amazon, the reviewers would be calling it the screed of a complete lunatic. The Mecca Koran, which is thought to have been written when Muhammed was in Mecca with his few followers, is relatively inoffensive and reads a bit like Psalms or Proverbs. The second Medina Koran was allegedly written after they got their butts kicked out of Mecca, and this part is pure insanity. We really should be done with these silly things. These are based on mythic narratives concerning ideas from the ancient world. They may have made sense then, but really some education and thought should indicate how utterly ineffective monotheist religion is as telling us anything really meaningful or useful. It is a load of nonsense. We do not sit with slack jaw waiting for some great Santa Claus or fairy godmother to come and reveal ALL to us. Instead we think, observe, measure, rethink and … , repeat, in order to know what is truthful within the limits and tentative certitude of science.
