Your comments are very insightful, Bruce. Many so-called Christians would demand belief in every literate word of the Bible, but of course the contradictions are very apparent to anyone with any degree of objectivity. Most, or at least many thinking Christians have rejected a literate translation of the Bible. It is wonderful to think that some Muslims could be as objective about the literate interpretation of the Qur'an. If the silent majorities of these different religions would speak up and be heard perhaps peace could really be achieved.
