stof said: Chapter 2 jumps straight in to admonishing the unbelievers. If you believe your good, if you don't believe, your bad.

You're going to have to give me the name of the chapter because we don't use numbers.
And you do realise the Quran is organized by length not chronological or any other sort of method? So it's not like "PUT THE KILLING FIRST! THEY NEED TO KNOW HOW TO KILL!"
The fact of the matter is that the Quran is a fairly large book and you can't cherry pick certain statements and call the book evil.
5-51 - O ye who believe! Take not the Jews and the Christians for friends. They are friends one to another. He among you who taketh them for friends is (one) of them. Lo! Allah guideth not wrongdoing folk. (51)
Sorry Kasz, but your loosing this one. Can you show me a place in the Quran where it tells you to be kind to those who don't follow Allah?
Well what about:
- And do not dispute with the followers of the Book except by what is best, except those of them who act unjustly, and say: We believe in that which has been revealed to us and revealed to you, and our God and your God is One, and to Him do we submit. [Qur'an 29:46]
Or
- Not all of them are alike; a party of the people of the Scripture stand for the right, they recite the Verses of God during the hours of the night, prostrating themselves in prayer. They believe in God and the Last Day; they enjoin Al-Ma'rûf and forbid Al-Munkar ; and they hasten in (all) good works; and they are among the righteous. And whatever good they do, nothing will be rejected of them; for God knows well those who are Al-Muttaqûn .(3:113-115)
Or
- And there are, certainly, among the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians), those who believe in God and in that which has been revealed to you, and in that which has been revealed to them, humbling themselves before God. They do not sell the Verses of God for a little price, for them is a reward with their Lord. Surely, God is Swift in account. '(3:199)'
Or
- Verily! Those who believe and those who are Jews and Christians, and Sabians, whoever believes in God and the Last Day and do righteous good deeds shall have their reward with their Lord, on them shall be no fear, nor shall they grieve . [Qur'an 2:62]
And I didn't even have to break out my Quran, I just pulled those from Wikipedia

I good, someone with an actual Quran. I'll leave the rest of this to you then.
Haven't read a Quran way back until I did a survey on all religions and atheism in a general discovery of where if anywhere i fit in.
