Yeah.. we just need to "read" and "increase our knowledge". It's just we're very ignorant, otherwise, we would know better /s.
I read the Quran enough times to know it's full of contradictions, throw Hadith on top and you got some obscene levels of bigotry and immorality (and slavery laws, including slave trading laws lol). I am truly surprised neither has been "banned" for hate speech now that the west fetishizes censorship and our tech overlords are obsessed with telling us what's appropriate to share and what it isn't.
Take the Sura you quoted for example, in which Allah claims it's the most merciful, yet, few pages later, it talks proudly about eternal hell & punishment for some humans, the same humans Allah created to be weak and ignorant. I can not think of an evil deed that is deserving of eternal hell, can you even imagine what eternal hell means? It's 100000000000000000000000000000000000000 x ∞ number of years or centuries of burning in a thousand fires.
Who's the worst person in history of mankind? Pick one, anyone, and I can confidently say that they don't deserve to burn for eternity for what they've done. Punishment unfit for whatever crime, let alone a crime committed by a human created by Allah who admits to making us all ignorant and weak minded. Afterlife punishments aside, what's the point of cats born blind just to die of pain and hunger in this life? Animals can get by due to healthcare but what is the point of blind cats and broken.
Does Allah show forms of mercy every now and then? Indeed, it does, but in no way that makes him the most merciful. All this incomprehensibility in one Aya from the first page in the Quran, the more you dive deeper into it, the more you scratch your head at how illogical and inconsistent of a book it is. Of course, religious upbringing means you take what you read for what is and submit.
