Koran 2:111-113

2:111 And they say, “None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian.”

That is [merely] their wishful thinking, Say, “Produce your proof, if you should be truthful.”

112 Yes [on the contrary], whoever submits his face in Islam to Allah while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord.

And no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

113 The Jews say “The Christians have nothing [true] to stand on,” and the Christians say, “The Jews have nothing to stand on,” although they [both] recite the Scripture.

Thus the polytheists speak the same as their words.

But Allah will judge between them on the Day of Resurrection concerning that over which they used to differ.

Koran 2:111-113

Muhammad, in his Koran, addresses a sentence, verse, or passage to “Anonymous They”, with “they”, “them”, “he”, “your”, “the people”, and so on, without naming them. For more, read Anonymous They.

Muhammad includes the imperfect words of imperfect others, an interlocutor who is only in Muhammad’s mind, instead of the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. This means that Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, is not from Allah, which means Allah, Muhammad, Islamic doctrine, Islam, and Koran are incoherent and false.

Muhammad Allah commands Muhammad to: “Say” or “Recite”. This means that this passage is addressed to Muhammad, not to all people. Thus, this passage can’t be in the perfect words of the perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah. As it is addressed to Muhammad, in his time and place, his context, this also means that this passage is locked to Muhammad’s context and can’t be in the context-free, perfect Qur’an from perfect Allah with all its perfect words. Thus, this passage is part of Muhammad’s recitation, Muhammad’s Koran, which means Islamic doctrine and Islam are incoherent and false, meaning Allah is incoherent, imaginary, fictional, and false.

Note that Muhammad’s invented quote “None will enter Paradise except one who is a Jew or a Christian” has no place in imaginary Allah’s perfect word. Why is this an invented quote? Because it’s actually a restatement of Muhammad’s statement from earlier in Koran 2:62:

Indeed, those who believed and those who were Jews or Christians or Sabeans [before Prophet Muhammad] – those [among them] who believed in Allah and the Last Day and did righteousness – will have their reward with their Lord, and no fear will there be concerning them, nor will they grieve.

Koran 2:62

Muhammad himself shows that the Jews and Christians disagreed on this matter in this passage. This shows immediately that Allah is incoherent and thus false, imaginary, and fictional. Worse, this is Muhammad’s argument against Jews and Christians, and arguing from authority, false authority.

See what Muhammad missed:

  • Jews have nothing to stand on;
  • Christians have nothing to stand on;
  • Muslims have nothing to stand on, but Muhammad missed this.

Note that the Jews recite the Torah (not the “Scripture”), and Christians recite the Bible (not the “Scripture”), and the Muslims recite Muhammad’s Koran (not the “Scripture”). Muhammad lied: “…they [both] recite the Scripture” and shows his ignorance.

Note Muhammad’s statement here: “…whoever submits his face in Islam to Allah while being a doer of good will have his reward with his Lord.” This is incoherent with Muhammad’s earlier statement in Koran 2:82:

But they who believe and do righteous deeds…

Koran 2:82

The difference is “doer of good” versus “righteous deeds”. Doing good versus doing what Muhammad says (righteous).

Also, where is Allah to submit to? Surely everyone needs to know where Allah is, to submit to him? Or is this a local custom of Muhammad, inherited from the pagans who literally prostrated to the idol of Allah, submitting their “face” to Allah?

Allah, the dead, broken, stone idol, in Mecca, Petra, Jordan.

But what is true? Well, if you want to be a Jew, follow the Torah. If you want to be a Christian, follow the Bible. If you want to be a Muslim, you can’t because Muhammad is an incoherent liar and dead, Allah died with Muhammad, the Koran is incoherent nonsense, Islam is false because it’s incoherent and Islamic doctrine is proven nonsense by Muhammad’s incoherent nonsense.

But, Infidel, I as a Muslim, really like Islam! You know Islam and Islamic doctrine are wrong. So what now? It’s your choice. Realise that Islam and Islamic doctrine is false and wrong and know this. Realise that you are cherry-picking the best bits out of Islam to suit yourself, showing you are morally better than Muhammad and imaginary Allah. And by cherry-picking, you’re incoherent with other Muslims, like Islamic terrorists, who do exactly as the Koran commands. You’re not an Islamic terrorist, right? So you shouldn’t support Islam at all. So what now?

But, Infidel, where is the evidence for which religion is right? Well, if you read this far, you see that the religious disagree on religious matters, and are unable to provide evidence for their positions, for thousands of years. This includes Muslims, including Muhammad, being unable to prove their incoherent religion with evidence, for over 1400 years. This shows that religions are incoherent models of reality. As they are incoherent, they’re false. What religions are useful for, is as a quick guide to problems of morality and with Judaism and Christianity, instilling a sense of virtue morality.

But, Infidel, how can I cope with life? What should I do if I can’t trust any religion to be true? Well, then you could have a look at secular Humanism and Transhumanism. These philosophies are quite reasonable and don’t need arguments from authority. Humanism and Transhumanism are in accord with the human condition. After all, am I speaking with you? Obviously not. This is written text in HTML, stored on computers, transmitted over the Internet, and shown as dots on a screen, which you interpret as speech in your head. This is technology amplifying our senses and mediating our experience, making life better for both of us. You already know Transhumanism works and it’s been working since the dawn of our species, the amplification of our lives and abilities with tools. So what’s the evidence for Transhumanism? Your life and the lives of all your ancestors, all improved by technology. You and your ancestors have around 1 million years of experience in seeing that Transhumanism works.

But, atheist, how can I be sure to be good?! By being good and loving yourself and others. For this I find the 2 commandments of Jesus to be useful, in instilling virtue morality in people, which is sadly lacking in the current world, where so many people show their corrupt nature, instead of being and doing good.

The best replacement for this passage is: “”, the empty sentence.
