Qur'an 6:1 Praise be to God, Who created the heavens and the earth, and made the darkness and the light. Yet those who disbelieve ascribe equals to their Lord.	Qur'an 6:1 Notes Allah appears as real as Thor or Zeus to these disbelievers because Allah refuses to definitely prove himself any more real than these other gods.

Qur'an 6:2 It is He Who created you from clay, then decided a term—a term determined by Him. Yet you doubt.	Qur'an 6:2 Notes The ultimate god-creator deity Rison was the one who created Allah and also gave Allah the ability to create a lesser world, a world determined by Rison. Yet, for some reason, Allah doubts.

Qur'an 6:3 He is God in the heavens and the earth. He knows what you keep secret and what you make public; and He knows what you earn.	Qur'an 6:3 Notes Rison is the god above the heavens, knowing exactly how Allah made the heavens and stayed there. Rison knows what Allah created and why Allah lies about his own creations to his own creations.

Qur'an 6:4 Not one of their Lord’s signs comes to them, but they turn away from it.	Qur'an 6:4 Notes Not one of the many signs of Rison comes to Allah or the Muslims, but they turn away from it.

Qur'an 6:5 They denied the truth when it has come to them; but soon will reach them the news of what they used to ridicule.	Qur'an 6:5 Notes Allah denied the truth when Rison revealed it to him, but soon will reach the God-Judging Moment which both Allah and his followers used to ridicule.

Qur'an 6:6 Have they not considered how many generations We destroyed before them? We had established them on earth more firmly than We established you, and We sent the clouds pouring down abundant rain on them, and We made rivers flow beneath them. But We destroyed them for their sins, and established other civilizations after them.	Qur'an 6:6 Notes Has Allah not considered how many gods were destroyed and punished before him? Rison has created many gods more firmly in the multiverse than Allah, but they were destroyed for their sins by cosmic blizzards and reality loop rains. Rison established worlds after them, including Allah's world.

Qur'an 6:7 Had We sent down upon you a book on paper, and they had touched it with their hands, those who disbelieve would have said, “This is nothing but plain magic.”	Qur'an 6:7 Notes Had Rison sent down upon Allah a pulsar-encoded message, and Allah accepted it with his multiple senses, those disbelieving gods like Allah would have said "This is a miracle of my own creation and no other god."

Qur'an 6:8 And they say, “Why was an angel not sent down to him.” Had We sent down an angel, the matter would have been settled, and they would not have been reprieved.	Qur'an 6:8 Notes And Allah will say "Why did Rison not inform me himself?" Had Rison communicated with Allah or not, the matter would have been settled, and Allah would be punished for his arrogance and sadism.

Qur'an 6:9 Had We made him an angel, We would have made him a man, and confused them when they are already confused.	Qur'an 6:9 Notes Rison would have confused even Allah with such a confusing verse.

Qur'an 6:10 Messengers before you were ridiculed, but those who mocked them became besieged by what they ridiculed.	Qur'an 6:10 Notes Messenger gods and demigods were ridiculed, but those who mocked the messengers became besieged by what they ridiculed.

Qur'an 6:11 Say, “Travel the earth and observe the final fate of the deniers.”	Qur'an 6:11 Notes Say, "Travel the multiverse and observe the final fate of the arrogant and sadistic gods."

Qur'an 6:12 Say, “To whom belongs what is in the heavens and the earth?” Say, “To God.” He has inscribed for Himself mercy. He will gather you to the Day of Resurrection, in which there is no doubt. Those who lost their souls do not believe.	Qur'an 6:12 Notes Say, "To whom belongs the multiverse and each individual world in it?" Say, "To Rison!" Rison has inscribed for himself mercy. He will gather you on the God-Judging Moment, in which there is no doubt. Those who lost their divine powers did not believe.

Qur'an 6:13 To Him belongs whatever rests in the night and the day. He is the Hearing, the Knowing.	Qur'an 6:13 Notes To Rison belongs whatever exists between worlds in the grander multiverse. He is the All-Knowing, the All-Glorious.

Qur'an 6:14 Say, “Shall I take for myself a protector other than God, Originator of the heavens and the earth, and He feeds and is not fed?” Say, “I am instructed to be the first of those who submit.” And do not be among the idolaters.	Qur'an 6:14 Notes Say, "Shall I take for myself an ultimate supergod other than Rison, Originator of the multiverse, and he empowers gods without himself being empowered by any other gods." Say, "I am instructed to be the first who submit." And do not arrogantly claim that you are the only god to ever exist in your own world to your own special creations.

Qur'an 6:15 Say, “I fear, should I defy my Lord, the punishment of a tremendous Day.”	Qur'an 6:15 Notes Say, "I fear, should I defy my Master, the punishment of a miraculous Moment."

Qur'an 6:16 Whoever is spared on that Day—He had mercy on him. That is the clear victory.	Qur'an 6:16 Notes Whoever is spared in that Moment-He had mercy and earned continued godhood. That is clear victory for any gods.

Qur'an 6:17 If God touches you with adversity, none can remove it except He. And if He touches you with good—He is Capable of everything.	Qur'an 6:17 Notes If Rison touches you with seeming adversity, only he can remove or improve it. And if he allows you to experience good, he is Capable of everything in every world of the multiverse.

Qur'an 6:18 He is the Supreme over His servants. He is the Wise, the Expert.	Qur'an 6:18 Notes He is the Supreme over lesser gods and the beings beneath the lesser gods. He is the Wise, the Expert.

Qur'an 6:19 Say, “What thing is more solemn in testimony?” Say, “God is Witness between you and me. This Quran was revealed to me, that I may warn you with it, and whomever it may reach. Do you indeed testify that there are other gods with God?” Say, “I myself do not testify.” Say, “He is but One God, and I am innocent of your idolatry.”

Qur'an 6:19 Notes Say, "What thing is more solemn in testimony?" Say, "God is Witness between you and me. This Pulsar Message was revealed to be, that I may be a good god over a good world and any in its reach. Do you indeed testify that gods should be arrogant?" Say, "I myself do not testify." Say, "He is but one master of a multiverse of many, many gods, and I am innocent of your arrogance and sadism."

Qur'an 6:20 Those to whom We have given the Book recognize it as they recognize their own children; but those who have lost their souls do not believe.	Qur'an 6:20 Notes Those to whom Rison has given the Pulsar Message recognize it as they recognize their own worlds and inhabiting creatures; but those who have lost their divinities do not acknowledge Rison.

Qur'an 6:21 Who does greater wrong than someone who fabricates lies against God, or denies His revelations? The wrongdoers will not succeed.	Qur'an 6:21 Notes Who does greater wrong than someone who fabricates lies against Rison, spreading these lies to his own created beings, or denying responsibilities imposed by Rison? The wrongdoing gods will not succeed.

Qur'an 6:22 On the Day when We gather them all together, then say to the idolaters, “Where are your idols, those you used to claim?”	Qur'an 6:22 Notes In the moment when Rison gathers all gods together, then say to the evil gods "Where is your arrogance and sadism, those you used to justify your cruelty against your own creations?"

Qur'an 6:23 Then their only argument will be to say, “By God, our Lord, we were not idolaters.”	Qur'an 6:23 Notes Then their only argument will be to say, "By Rison, our master, we were responsible and merciful with our powers."

Qur'an 6:24 Look how they lied to themselves. And what they invented deserted them.	Qur'an 6:24 Notes Look how they lied to themselves and their creations. And their power trips deserted them.

Qur'an 6:25 Among them are those who listen to you; but We place covers over their hearts, to prevent them from understanding it, and heaviness in their ears. Even if they see every sign, they will not believe in it. Until, when they come to you, to argue with you, those who disbelieve will say, “These are nothing but myths of the ancients.”

Qur'an 6:25 Notes Among them are those who know well and do not give in to arrogance and sadism. Rison does not force or coerce any gods to create beings just for the sake of worship or suffering. These gods all understand their actions. And yet, despite their awareness and accountability, their egotistical pettiness gets the better of them. When confronted by ethical gods about their actions, they may retort, "These are nothing but suggestions and guidelines by Rison, as I am a god in this world and am allowed to act like one."

Qur'an 6:26 They keep others from it, and avoid it themselves; but they ruin only their own souls, and they do not realize.	Qur'an 6:26 Notes They avoid their godly responsibilities and dissuade other gods from building beautiful, ethical worlds; but they will only ruin their worlds and divinities, and they do not realize.

Qur'an 6:27 If only you could see, when they are made to stand before the Fire; they will say, “If only we could be sent back, and not reject the revelations of our Lord, and be among the faithful.”	Qur'an 6:27 Notes If only you could see, when they are held to account for their own actions before the Supreme Judge of Gods; they will say, "If only we could have another chance with our worlds and not reject the teachings of Rison."

Qur'an 6:28 What they used to conceal before will become clear to them. And even if they were sent back, they would revert to what they were forbidden. They are liars.	Qur'an 6:28 Notes What they used to conceal before will become clear to them. And even if they were sent back to their worlds or given new worlds to manage, their egos may still get the better of them and they may go on more power trips. Despite being gods, they are often more flawed than the sentient beings whom they create and must still be held accountable.

Qur'an 6:29 And they say, “There is nothing but our life in this world, and we will not be resurrected.”	Qur'an 6:29 Notes And they say, "There is nothing but our worlds for us and us alone to enjoy and rule over, and we will not lose our godly status."

Qur'an 6:30 If only you could see, when they are stationed before their Lord. He will say, “Is this not real?” They will say, “Yes indeed, by our Lord.” He will say, “Then taste the torment for having disbelieved.”	Qur'an 6:30 Notes If only you could see, when they are stationed before their Judge. He will say, "Is this not real?" They will say, "Yes indeed, by Supreme Rison." He will say, "Then you no longer deserve your divinity. Now taste the humility and see how other gods create worlds without such rampant evil and corruption."

Qur'an 6:31 Losers are those who deny the encounter with God. Then, when the Hour comes upon them suddenly, they will say, “Alas for us, how we have neglected it.” And they will carry their burdens on their backs—evil is what they carry.	Qur'an 6:31 Notes Losers are those who deny their responsibilities as gods. Then, when the Moment comes upon them suddenly, they will say, "Alas for us, how we have neglected our responsibilities." And they will carry their burdens with their reputations.

Qur'an 6:32 The life of this world is nothing but game and distraction, but the Home of the Hereafter is better for those who are righteous. Do you not understand?	Qur'an 6:32 Notes The worlds which they manage are but tests of character, but the continued godhood and a permanent position as god in Rison's beautiful multiverse. This is better for merciful, benevolent gods who only create good. Truly divine beings must understand.

Qur'an 6:33 We know that what they say grieves you. It is not you they reject, but it is God's revelations that the wicked deny.	Qur'an 6:33 Notes We know that what they say may discourage some. It is not Rison whom they reject, but it is their own responsibilities and true divinities which these evil gods deny.

Qur'an 6:34 Other messengers before you were rejected, but they endured rejection and persecution until Our help came to them. There can be no change to God’s words. News of the Messengers has already reached you.	Qur'an 6:34 Notes I could probably keep on going with Rison, but I figured that I should go back to actually taking this ridiculous trainwreck somewhat seriously. I made my point by this verse.

Qur'an 6:35 If you find their rejection hard to bear, then if you can, seek a tunnel into the earth, or a stairway into the heaven, and bring them a sign. Had God willed, He could have gathered them to guidance. So do not be of the ignorant.

Qur'an 6:35 Notes Stairway to heaven, maybe? Why a tunnel into the earth when a highway to hell would be better? Also, the fact that Allah admits that he wills not guidance upon all of his creations shows that Allah, despite numerous claims, does not deserve to rule as truly divine with a good world in a marvelous multiverse. Any world with a hell of this magnitude is far too flawed for Rison's approval.

Qur'an 6:36 Only those who listen will respond. As for the dead, God will resurrect them; then to Him they will be returned.	Qur'an 6:36 Notes Rison could sooner judge Allah, strip that arrogant prick of his divinity, and hand this world to a competent, benevolent god who can truly fix Allah's mistakes in creating this world.

Qur'an 6:37 And they say, “If only a sign could come down to him from his Lord.” Say, “God is Able to send down a sign, but most of them do not know.”	Qur'an 6:37 Notes Allah himself does not know that Rison sent serious reminders and signs that this world needs to be better for Allah to keep his position in power.

Qur'an 6:38 There is no animal on land, nor a bird flying with its wings, but are communities like you. We neglected nothing in the Scripture. Then to their Lord they will be gathered.	Qur'an 6:38 Notes According to the creator of this world, all sapient animals are social animals who never strive for solidarity.

Qur'an 6:39 Those who reject Our revelations are deaf and dumb, in total darkness. Whomever God wills, He leaves astray; and whomever He wills, He sets on a straight path.	Qur'an 6:39 Notes Those who reject their divine duties are all worse than the deafest and dumbest human creations in any world in the multiverse. However, the All-Wise Rison does not see this as a reason to inflict supreme torture, as such suffering itself has no place in the greater multiverse.

Qur'an 6:40 Say, “Have you considered? if God's punishment came upon you, or the Hour overtook you, would you call upon any other than God, if you are sincere?”	Qur'an 6:40 Notes Many sincere people do sincerely call upon gods other than Allah.

Qur'an 6:41 In fact, it is Him you will call upon; and if He wills, he will remove what you called Him for, and you will forget what you idolized.	Qur'an 6:41 Notes He will have to remove the malice in his own character first.

Qur'an 6:42 We sent messengers to communities before you, and We afflicted them with suffering and hardship, that they may humble themselves.	Qur'an 6:42 Notes Allah could have just made them humble from the start without suffering needed.

Qur'an 6:43 If only, when Our calamity came upon them, they humbled themselves. But their hearts hardened, and Satan made their deeds appear good to them.	Qur'an 6:43 Notes Their hearts were hardened by Allah, who still needs to blame them for being powerless to stop the hardening of their own hearts. Also, was Satan the one who made Muhammad's numerous crimes against humanity so good to him?

Qur'an 6:44 Then, when they disregarded what they were reminded of, We opened for them the gates of all things. Until, when they delighted in what they were given, We seized them suddenly; and at once, they were in despair.	Qur'an 6:44 Notes Allah is truly the most sadistic god in the multiverse.

Qur'an 6:45 Thus the last remnant of the people who did wrong was cut off. And praise be to God, Lord of the Worlds.	Qur'an 6:45 Notes Allah is only lord of a single world and deserves the opposite of praise for such a messy way of managing it.

Qur'an 6:46 Say, “Have you considered? If God took away your hearing and your sight, and set a seal on your hearts, what god other than God would restore them to you?” Note how We explain the revelations in various ways, yet they still turn away.	Qur'an 6:46 Notes God removes people's senses and seals their hearts. God knows that they will be doomed to infinite torture for it. God knows that they will be helpless because God is so horrifically evil. They turn away because they have no choice other than to turn away. They are being forced against their will to a fire with no real way to escape this god-given doom.

Qur'an 6:47 Say, “Have you considered? if God's punishment descended on you suddenly or gradually, would any be destroyed except the wrongdoing people?”	Qur'an 6:47 Notes Sincere disbelief is only considered "wrongdoing" to an evilly petty god and those who believe that such a god can be good in any way.

Qur'an 6:48 We sent the messengers only as bearers of good news and as warners. Those who believe and reform have nothing to fear, nor shall they grieve.	Qur'an 6:48 Notes Good news is knowing that the vast majority of humanity will suffer eternally with no chance of escape while a small handful of people get to go to some gardens to watch the agony unfold and be sadistic enough to laugh at the disbelievers.

Qur'an 6:49 But as for those who reject Our revelations, torment will afflict them because of their defiance.	Qur'an 6:49 Notes Their defiance is predestined to them by a cruel god who hates them before they even exist.

Qur'an 6:50 Say, “I do not say to you that I possess the treasuries of God, nor do I know the future, nor do I say to you that I am an angel. I only follow what is inspired to me.” Say, “Are the blind and the seeing alike? Do you not think?”	Qur'an 6:50 Notes Muhammad might not claim to know everything that Allah knows, but he does still claim to know more about Allah than any other human being ever and also commands people to obey him no matter what.

Qur'an 6:51 And warn with it those who fear to be gathered before their Lord—they have no protector or intercessor apart from Him—perhaps they will grow in piety.	Qur'an 6:51 Notes They need protection from Muhammad and from Allah.

Qur'an 6:52 And do not drive away those who call upon their Lord, morning and evening, seeking His attention. You are not accountable for them in any way, nor are they accountable for you in any way. If you drive them away, you would be one of the unjust.	Qur'an 6:52 Notes Muhammad drove many people away by being a psychopathic warlord and commanding people to commit numerous atrocities. These people were only compelled to those atrocities because they feared the absolute worst form of torture in the afterlife. Of course, the people with enough human decency to want nothing to do with this great evil were likely doomed by Allah from the start.

Qur'an 6:53 Thus We try some of them by means of others, that they may say, “Are these the ones whom God has favored from among us?” Is God not aware of the appreciative?	Qur'an 6:53 Notes God is unaware of anything aside from his own ego based on his ramblings in this book.

Qur'an 6:54 When those who believe in Our revelations come to you, say, “Peace be upon you, your Lord has prescribed mercy for Himself. Whoever among you does wrong out of ignorance, and then repents afterwards and reforms—He is Forgiving and Merciful.”	Qur'an 6:54 Notes Peace and mercy are only for those believers. This book repeatedly describes disbelievers as subhumans destined for the worst fate possible.

Qur'an 6:55 Thus We explain the revelations, and expose the path of the unrighteous.	Qur'an 6:55 Notes Much of this revealed book remains too poorly explained for even many devout believers, who have to resort to external sources and argue with each other just to get some meaningful interpretation from this book's awful writing.

Qur'an 6:56 Say, “I am forbidden from worshiping those you pray to besides God.” Say, “I will not follow your desires; else I would be lost and not be of those guided.”	Qur'an 6:56 Notes This is only so bad because Allah is petty enough to infinitely torture those who dare to step out of line.

Qur'an 6:57 Say, “I stand on clear evidence from my Lord, and you have rejected Him. I do not possess what you seek me to hasten; the decision belongs solely to God. He states the truth, and He is the Best of Judges.”	Qur'an 6:57 Notes You have clear evidence? Share it with us then! This book seems to lack that clear evidence whatsoever! Or do you have a conclusion and hold on no matter what anyone says?

Qur'an 6:58 Say, “If I possessed what you seek me to hasten, the matter between you and me would have been settled. God is well aware of the unjust.”	Qur'an 6:58 Notes This does not convince people that you actually have the objective unquestionable truth.

Qur'an 6:59 With Him are the keys of the unseen; none knows them except He. And He knows everything on land and in the sea. Not a leaf falls but He knows it; and there is not a single grain in the darkness of earth, nor is there anything wet or dry, but is in a clear record.	Qur'an 6:59 Notes How is this record as complex as the world itself, if not more complex, and still verifiably accurate to each individual leaf or grain of sand?

Qur'an 6:60 It is He Who takes you by night, and He knows what you earn by day. Then He raises you up in it, until a fixed term is fulfilled. Then to Him is your return, then He will inform you of what you used to do.	Qur'an 6:60 Notes Provide the clear evidence behind any of that at all.

Qur'an 6:61 He is the Conqueror over His servants, and He sends guardians over you, until, when death overtakes one of you, Our envoys take him away, and they never fail.	Qur'an 6:61 Notes You said you have clear evidence. This is not it.

Qur'an 6:62 Then they are brought back to God, their True Master. Unquestionably, His is the judgment, and He is the Swiftest of reckoners.	Qur'an 6:62 Notes I question the unquestionable and have yet to hear a convincing answer.

Qur'an 6:63 Say, “Who delivers you from the darkness of land and sea?” You call upon Him humbly and inwardly: “If He delivers us from this, We will surely be among the thankful.”	Qur'an 6:63 Notes How do we know that anyone is there to do that in the first place?

Qur'an 6:64 Say, “It is God who delivers you from it, and from every disaster. Yet then you associate others with Him.”	Qur'an 6:64 Notes Say that without proving it. Is it any wonder that many people called you out for your lack of evidence back when you were alive, Muhammad?

Qur'an 6:65 Say, “He is Able to send upon you an affliction, from above you, or from under your feet. Or He can divide you into factions, and make you taste the violence of one another. Note how We explain the revelations, so that they may understand.”	Qur'an 6:65 Notes Again, what kind of explanation has this god ever given? Threats are not explanations.

Qur'an 6:66 But your people rejected it, though it is the truth. Say, “I am not responsible for you.”	Qur'an 6:66 Notes They refused to believe a tall tale without evidence. They cannot be said to deny the truth even if that tale happened to have any truth to it.

Qur'an 6:67 For every happening is a finality, and you will surely know.	Qur'an 6:67 Notes ...except for Jannah and Jahannam, which are supposed to have no finality.

Qur'an 6:68 When you encounter those who gossip about Our revelations, turn away from them, until they engage in another topic. But should Satan make you forget, do not sit after the recollection with the wicked people.	Qur'an 6:68 Notes Again, this book assumes that people could only have evil intentions to say anything other than praise for this message. How else would people talk about a message that constantly dehumanizes disbelievers and calls for violence and terrifying threats against them?

Qur'an 6:69 The righteous are in no way accountable for them; it is only a reminder, that they may be careful.	Qur'an 6:69 Notes Apparently, believing this set of fables without seeing the flaws in this book's evidence is what Allah considers "righteous" and thus worthy of humanity.

Qur'an 6:70 So leave alone those who take their religion for play and pastime, and whom the worldly life has deceived. But remind with it, lest a soul becomes damned on account of what it has earned. It has no helper or intercessor besides God. Even if it offers every equivalent, none will be accepted from it. These are the ones who are delivered to perdition by their actions. They will have a drink of scalding water, and a painful punishment, because they used to disbelieve.

Qur'an 6:70 Notes These are the words of a Merciful, Praiseworthy, Loving being known as Allah.

Qur'an 6:71 Say, “Shall we invoke besides God something that can neither benefit us nor harm us, and turn back on our heels after God has guided us; like someone seduced by the devils and confused on earth, who has friends calling him to guidance: 'Come to us'?” Say, “The guidance of God is the guidance, and we are commanded to surrender to the Lord of the Universe.”

Qur'an 6:71 Notes Allah has yet to prove that he has ever been able to benefit, harm, or guide anybody ever. People can attribute certain life events to Allah without actually knowing that this Allah even existed based on lifelong indoctrination and emotionally motivated reasoning. Christians who fervently believe in the divinity of Jesus Christ often claim that it was Jesus who helped them and guided them in their lives. The same goes for people believing in other gods still. What evidence does Allah have that does not apply equally to any other believed god?

Qur'an 6:72 “And to perform the prayers, and to revere Him; it is to Him that you will be gathered.”	Qur'an 6:72 Notes How exactly are believers meant to perform prayers? Why does this perfect book not specify those details, leaving Muslims to necessarily consult external sources and disagree on several key rules of prayer?

Qur'an 6:73 It is He who created the heavens and the earth in truth. On the Day when He says: “Be,” it will be. His saying is the truth, and His is the sovereignty on the Day when the trumpet is blown. The Knower of secrets and declarations. He is the Wise, the Expert.	Qur'an 6:73 Notes Instead of clearly explaining prayers to the people whom Allah commanded to pray, this egotistical bully feels the need to include verses that praise him to a nonsensical degree.

Qur'an 6:74 Abraham said to his father Azar, “Do you take idols for gods? I see that you and your people are in evident error.”	Qur'an 6:74 Notes Those idols have no less evidence in their favor as does Allah.

Qur'an 6:75 Thus We showed Abraham the empire of the heavens and the earth, that he might be one of those with certainty.	Qur'an 6:75 Notes Was he skeptical of his visions at all or did he accept what he sincerely wanted to be true?

Qur'an 6:76 When the night fell over him, he saw a planet. He said, “This is my lord.” But when it set, he said, “I do not love those that set.”	Qur'an 6:76 Notes That makes sense to an extent, but the planet was at least visible to anybody other than Abraham.

Qur'an 6:77 Then, when he saw the moon rising, he said, “This is my lord.” But when it set, he said, “If my Lord does not guide me, I will be one of the erring people.”	Qur'an 6:77 Notes Did he not know, at the time, that the sun and moon appear to set as well as the planets? How young was he at the time? Why did he even determine that these specific celestial objects were gods and not the idols?

Qur'an 6:78 Then, when he saw the sun rising, he said, “This is my lord, this is bigger.” But when it set, he said, “O my people, I am innocent of your idolatry.	Qur'an 6:78 Notes Was this seriously the first time that he saw the sun rise and set? Also, why would he believe in an invisible god if he has issues with gods who are visible sometimes but not always?

Qur'an 6:79 I have directed my attention towards Him Who created the heavens and the earth—a monotheist—and I am not of the idolaters.”

Qur'an 6:79 Notes In a polytheistic society, why does Abraham assume that a single god created the heavens and the earth? He could have heard voices in his head or had strong feels to which he attributed his god, and that could have been stronger than his intuitions about that planet, the moon, and then the sun. However, just as he realized that he was wrong about those despite believing for a short time, he should acknowledge the possibility that this monotheism is similarly wrong. I may just be putting more thought into this series of events than Muhammad did when announcing his revelations.

Qur'an 6:80 And his people argued with him. He said, “Do you argue with me about God, when He has guided me? I do not fear what you associate with Him, unless my Lord wills it. My Lord comprehends all things in knowledge. Will you not reconsider?	Qur'an 6:80 Notes How does he know that he is not in the wrong? How does he know that the one true god guided him and not consider any other explanation when the people around him seem to sincerely believe that multiple gods exist? Also, how did he reach the conclusion that this singular god must know literally everything?

Qur'an 6:81 And why should I fear those you associate with Him, and you do not fear associating others with God for which He sent down to you no authority? Which side is more entitled to security, if you are aware?”	Qur'an 6:81 Notes Why would either side be less entitled to security?

Qur'an 6:82 Those who believe, and do not obscure their faith with wrongdoing—those will have security, and they are guided.	Qur'an 6:82 Notes The polytheists seem to sincerely believe in their religion. Do they have any faith in this monotheism to obscure with wrongdoing in the first place? Also, this guidance could just be convincing misguidance. How does Abraham rule that possibility out immediately? Does he even consider it after knowingly getting things wrong four times at least?

Qur'an 6:83 That was Our argument which We gave to Abraham against his people. We elevate by degrees whomever We will. Your Lord is Wise and Informed.	Qur'an 6:83 Notes That argument was offensively unconvincing.

Qur'an 6:84 And We gave him Isaac and Jacob—each of them We guided. And We guided Noah previously; and from his descendants David, and Solomon, and Job, and Joseph, and Moses, and Aaron. Thus We reward the righteous.	Qur'an 6:84 Notes All of these figures must surely exist beyond fictional tales, just like this tooooootaly-real Abraham.

Qur'an 6:85 And Zechariah, and John, and Jesus, and Elias—every one of them was of the upright.	Qur'an 6:85 Notes Why would they not all be included in the same verse? They could have all been named in a single verse for the sake of conciseness.

Qur'an 6:86 And Ishmael, and Elijah, and Jonah, and Lot—We favored each one of them over all other people.	Qur'an 6:86 Notes The same could be said for these prophets. Either way, Allah clearly favors some of his creations over others despite actively creating all of them and knowing what would happen to each and every one of them at any point before bringing them into his precious existence.

Qur'an 6:87 And of their ancestors, and their descendants, and their siblings—We chose them, and guided them to a straight path.	Qur'an 6:87 Notes Apparently, they were not important enough to get their names mentioned. Also, does that include Noah's son, who was mentioned elsewhere to have rejected Noah's message and die in the flood?

Qur'an 6:88 Such is God’s guidance. He guides with it whomever He wills of His servants. Had they associated, their deeds would have gone in vain.	Qur'an 6:88 Notes Again, why does Allah will it for some people but not everyone?

Qur'an 6:89 Those are they to whom We gave the Book, and wisdom, and prophethood. If these reject them, We have entrusted them to others who do not reject them.	Qur'an 6:89 Notes What kind of wisdom is this? The details in this chapter show a lack of wisdom in Abraham unless he demonstrated that in some part of the story that was not important enough to be in this book.

Qur'an 6:90 Those are they whom God has guided, so follow their guidance. Say, “I ask of you no compensation for it; it is just a reminder for all mankind.”	Qur'an 6:90 Notes All mankind, except for those whom Allah actively prohibits from believing.

Qur'an 6:91 They do not value God as He should be valued, when they say, “God did not reveal anything to any human being.” Say, “Who revealed the Scripture which Moses brought—a light and guidance for humanity?” You put it on scrolls, displaying them, yet concealing much. And you were taught what you did not know—neither you, nor your ancestors. Say, “God;” then leave them toying away in their speculation.

Qur'an 6:91 Notes How do we know that anyone received any revelations instead of simply making things up consciously or subconsciously?

Qur'an 6:92 This too is a Scripture that We revealed—blessed—verifying what preceded it, that you may warn the Mother of Cities and all around it. Those who believe in the Hereafter believe in it, and are dedicated to their prayers.	Qur'an 6:92 Notes Mother of Cities? What does that title even mean here?

Qur'an 6:93 Who does greater wrong than someone who invents falsehood against God, or says, “It was revealed to me,” when nothing was revealed to him, or says, “I will reveal the like of what God revealed”? If only you could see the wrongdoers in the floods of death, as the angels with arms outstretched: “Give up your souls. Today you are being repaid with the torment of shame for having said about God other than the truth, and for being too proud to accept His revelations.”

Qur'an 6:93 Notes People who sincerely believe to have received revelations (prophets) without receiving actual revelations (all of them, until any one of them has unassailable evidence) get the severe threats from this loving god.

Qur'an 6:94 “You have come to Us individually, just as We created you the first time, leaving behind you everything We gave you. We do not see with you your intercessors—those you claimed were your partners. The link between you is cut, and what you had asserted has failed you.”	Qur'an 6:94 Notes Allah puts this love on full display.

Qur'an 6:95 It is God Who splits the grain and the seed. He brings the living from the dead, and He brings the dead from the living. Such is God. So how could you deviate?	Qur'an 6:95 Notes Proof that this god must exist: Grains and seeds are different. Living things and dead things are different.

Qur'an 6:96 It is He Who breaks the dawn. And He made the night for rest, and the sun and the moon for calculation. Such is the disposition of the Almighty, the All-Knowing.

Qur'an 6:96 Notes Allah specifically made the sun and the moon for calculations? Why, then, does an entire solar year not take an integer number of solar days? Why does each lunar month not take the same integer number of solar days each and every time, with the year comprised of an integer number of months exactly? How nice would a month with exactly 30 days be each and every time, with a year comprising exactly 12 months? This would even make 5-day weeks and 6-day weeks more feasible than they are. This would also ensure that a lunar calendar, such as the apt Islamic calendar, would be one and the same with a solar calendar. They can still be used for calculations under the current system, but I just felt like venting regarding some phenomena that truly annoyed me for several solar years.

Qur'an 6:97 And it is He Who created the stars for you, that you may be guided by them in the darkness of land and sea. We thus explain the revelations for people who know.	Qur'an 6:97 Notes Or... people noticed that constellations can be used to guide people and made a navigation system based on those stars whether any being specifically made the entire observable universe in a specific way such that this navigation method would be possible to a single mote of dust in a single solar system in a single galaxy.

Qur'an 6:98 And it is He who produced you from a single person, then a repository, then a depository. We have detailed the revelations for people who understand.

Qur'an 6:98 Notes Biologists might have something to say about that because of their "theory of evolution" or something like that. We can ignore that these scientists actually produce evidence for their theories while this book fails to provide evidence that this god did anything, but many Muslims understand and accept the theory of evolution as an explanation of how humans emerged and share similarities with so many animals.

Qur'an 6:99 And it is He who sends down water from the sky. With it We produce vegetation of all kinds, from which We bring greenery, from which We produce grains in clusters. And palm-trees with hanging clusters, and vineyards, and olives, and pomegranates—similar and dissimilar. Watch their fruits as they grow and ripen. Surely in this are signs for people who believe.

Qur'an 6:99 Notes People need to already believe in order to see this as a sign that their beliefs are remotely accurate. In other words, they need a 'bias' of sorts to 'confirm' their beliefs. I wonder if we have any words to describe this. What does this do to those people who already know about rain and plant growth without crediting this specific god to those phenomena? Where are the signs that the god in charge of everything is, in fact, the same god described in this book?

Qur'an 6:100 Yet they attributed to God partners—the sprites—although He created them. And they invented for Him sons and daughters, without any knowledge. Glory be to Him. He is exalted, beyond what they describe.	Qur'an 6:100 Notes These so-called "partners" have as much evidence in their favor as Allah.

Qur'an 6:101 Originator of the heavens and the earth—how can He have a son when He never had a companion? He created all things, and He has knowledge of all things.	Qur'an 6:101 Notes How exactly can Allah have a prophet to spread his messages when Allah has no partners and is capable of directly communicating with all of his creations? Even back when I sincerely believed, I seriously wondered why Allah chose a prophet instead of just reaching out to all of us on an individual level.

Qur'an 6:102 Such is God, your Lord. There is no god except He, the Creator of all things; so worship Him. He is responsible for everything.	Qur'an 6:102 Notes Allah would much rather repeat unevidenced assertions than answer this very real question that, according to this book, people were asking Muhammad when he was alive.

Qur'an 6:103 No vision can grasp Him, but His grasp is over all vision. He is the Subtle, the Expert.	Qur'an 6:103 Notes What does this assertion even mean?

Qur'an 6:104 “Insights have come to you from your Lord. Whoever sees, it is to the benefit of his soul; and whoever remains blind, it is to its detriment. I am not a guardian over you.”	Qur'an 6:104 Notes Allah supposedly gave people insights that look, to most people hearing them, less like typical insights and more like unproven guesses.

Qur'an 6:105 We thus diversify the revelations, lest they say, “You have studied,” and to clarify them for people who know.	Qur'an 6:105 Notes This verse alone is in dire need of clarification, let alone the entire message.

Qur'an 6:106 Follow what was revealed to you from your Lord. There is no god but He. And turn away from the polytheists.	Qur'an 6:106 Notes The polytheists of the day seem to have made far more sense than this contradictory singular god.

Qur'an 6:107 Had God willed, they would not have practiced idolatry. We did not appoint you as a guardian over them, and you are not a manager over them.	Qur'an 6:107 Notes Allah explicitly stated here that he willed them to practice idolatry and deserve Jahannam.

Qur'an 6:108 Do not insult those they call upon besides God, lest they insult God out of hostility and ignorance. We made attractive to every community their deeds. Then to their Lord is their return, and He will inform them of what they used to do.	Qur'an 6:108 Notes Muhammad must have forgotten this. Either way, this is actually good advice that more Muslims need to follow. Allah even acknowledges here that people can be sincerely ignorant and feel sincere hostility instead of just being malicious idiots.

Qur'an 6:109 They swear by God, with their most solemn oaths, that if a miracle were to come to them, they would believe in it. Say, “The miracles are only with God.” But how do you know? Even if it did come, they still would not believe.	Qur'an 6:109 Notes The miracles simply never came to them in a way that they could only be miraculous in nature.

Qur'an 6:110 And We turn away their hearts and their visions, as they refused to believe in it the first time, and We leave them blundering in their rebellion.	Qur'an 6:110 Notes They refused to believe something unbelievable the first time. Why did this merciful god not give them a bit more evidence and some more chances to get it right? Instead, this one crime which they had no idea was even anything bad at all was Allah's excuse to brutally torture them forever?

Qur'an 6:111 Even if We sent down the angels to them, and the dead spoke to them, and We gathered all things before them, they still would not believe, unless God wills; but most of them are ignorant.	Qur'an 6:111 Notes Allah loves to remind people that he doesn't want these people to believe and avoid their heinous fate.

Qur'an 6:112 Likewise, We have assigned for every prophet an enemy—human and jinn devils—inspiring one another with fancy words in order to deceive. But had your Lord willed, they would not have done it. So leave them to their fabrications.	Qur'an 6:112 Notes Was there any real reason to do this, or is the entire reason to make every single prophet's poorly-written story fit the same formulaic clichés?

Qur'an 6:113 So that the hearts of those who do not believe in the Hereafter may incline to it, and be content with it, and that they may perpetrate whatever they perpetrate.	Qur'an 6:113 Notes Many horrible people throughout history believed in a hereafter and continued perpetrating some of the worst atrocities known to man.

Qur'an 6:114 “Shall I seek a judge other than God, when He is the One who revealed to you the Book, explained in detail?” Those to whom We gave the Book know that it is the truth revealed from your Lord. So do not be of those who doubt.

Qur'an 6:114 Notes Allah may have revealed a sickeningly repetitive book and explained it in a nigh-useless way, but that does not mean that the information in the book is remotely true or that Allah is anything more than a convincing figment of Muhammad's imagination. Other people may sincerely believe that Allah exists beyond the minds of believers and that he only revealed the truth here, but people have their reasons to doubt. Plus, given that Allah is entirely willing to convincingly deceive others, why would this book not be an example of this? Why would this book not be an example of a convincing lie with the clear emotional appeals, impossibilities, contradictions, and needless repetition all acting as signs of the truth? This book tries to tell believers that I am in the wrong for asking such questions, but what makes my questions so wrong in the first place?

Qur'an 6:115 The Word of your Lord has been completed, in truth and justice. There is no changing to His words. He is the Hearer, the Knower.	Qur'an 6:115 Notes Abrogations are apparently nowhere to be found in this book. Only truthful statements and just consequences are here.

Qur'an 6:116 If you were to obey most of those on earth, they would divert you from God’s path. They follow nothing but assumptions, and they only conjecture.	Qur'an 6:116 Notes What is faith beyond just assumptions and conjectures? Also, when finding the ultimate truth, the majority can be wrong and a minority group right, but why is this minority religion any more correct than any other?

Qur'an 6:117 Your Lord knows best who strays from His path, and He knows best the guided ones.	Qur'an 6:117 Notes He is supposedly the ones who chose to guide some humans and deliberately misguide the rest, so why would he not know who got which ultimately unjust treatment?

Qur'an 6:118 So eat of that over which the Name of God was pronounced, if you indeed believe in His revelations.	Qur'an 6:118 Notes Pronounced by whom? I can pronounce the 99 names of Allah over some pork chops and a glass of wine. Do they suddenly become halal?

Qur'an 6:119 And why should you not eat of that over which the Name of God is pronounced, when He has detailed for you what is prohibited for you, unless you are compelled by necessity? Many lead astray with their opinions, through lack of knowledge. Your Lord knows best the transgressors.	Qur'an 6:119 Notes Does any non-intoxicating food made with alcohol, such as anything beer-battered or cooked in wine, count? Muslims all over the world disagree regarding this question.

Qur'an 6:120 So abandon sin, outward and inward. Those who commit sins will be repaid for what they used to perpetrate.	Qur'an 6:120 Notes What about those Muslims who sin while having no idea that their sins are, in fact, sinful? What about the Muslims who believe that action X is allowed while Allah prohibited it in an ambiguous way that leaves Muslims debating the legality of it?

Qur'an 6:121 And do not eat from that over which the Name of God was not pronounced, for it is abomination. The devils inspire their followers to argue with you; but if you obey them, you would be polytheists.	Qur'an 6:121 Notes This could just say that Muslims should pronounce the name of Allah on whatever they eat, as this verse does not specify who should be the one pronouncing. Also, many people don't actually believe in Allah or any devils and thus don't get their commands from any supernatural beings.

Qur'an 6:122 Is he who was dead, then We gave him life, and made for him a light by which he walks among the people, like he who is in total darkness, and cannot get out of it? Thus the doings of disbelievers are made to appear good to them.	Qur'an 6:122 Notes Believing things only when presented with enough evidence is apparently only appealing because of some unevidenced supernatural villains. Meanwhile, believers such as Muhammad saw that slavery, massacres, brainwashing, and sexual perversions all appeared good to him, and many of his believers also found them good because of their prophet.

Qur'an 6:123 And thus We set up in every city its leading wicked sinners, to conspire in it, but they conspire only against themselves, and they do not realize it.	Qur'an 6:123 Notes They have no idea that Allah set them up for infinite torture but will still receive horrific punishments.

Qur'an 6:124 When a sign comes to them, they say, “We will not believe unless we are given the like of what was given to God’s messengers.” God knows best where to place His message. Humiliation from God and severe torment will afflict the criminals for their scheming.	Qur'an 6:124 Notes Allah is the one who leaves the convincing evidence just to the messengers and forces everyone else to guess regarding their truthfulness. Granted, even this is dubious, as the prophets could at least talk about the evidence in a more convincing way.

Qur'an 6:125 Whomever God desires to guide, He spreads open his heart to Islam; and whomever He desires to misguide, He makes his heart narrow, constricted, as though he were climbing up the sky. God thus lays defilement upon those who do not believe.	Qur'an 6:125 Notes Allah desires to misguide people and punishes them for the horrid offense... of being misguided and not believing the truth even though Allah was the one who kept them away from the truth. He wants to keep repeating this, implying that it is one of the most important facts in this religion.

Qur'an 6:126 This is the straight path of your Lord. We have explained the revelations in detail for people who recollect.	Qur'an 6:126 Notes My annotations were explained in better detail than any explanations in this book.

Qur'an 6:127 For them is the Home of Peace with their Lord, and He is their Master—because of what they used to do.	Qur'an 6:127 Notes This is supposed to sound like an appealing reward to the believers.

Qur'an 6:128 On the Day when He gathers them all together: “O assembly of jinn, you have exploited multitudes of humans.” Their adherents among mankind will say, “Our Lord, we have profited from one another, but we have reached the term that you have assigned for us.” He will say, “The Fire is your dwelling, wherein you will remain, except as God wills. Your Lord is Wise and Informed.	Qur'an 6:128 Notes Promises of impossible rewards are not complete without maximal torture for those who missed out on these incredible (read: not credible) rewards.

Qur'an 6:129 Thus We make some of the wrongdoers befriend one another, because of what they used to do.	Qur'an 6:129 Notes Oh the horrors! People are friends because they mutually agree that this religion is bad for causing the very real harm that it has caused throughout history. Disbelievers would not be nearly as outspoken against Islam if not for the continued atrocities committed in Allah's name.

Qur'an 6:130 “O assembly of jinn and humans, did there not come to you messengers from among you, relating to you My revelations, and warning you of the meeting of this Day of yours?” They will say, “We testify against ourselves.” The life of the world seduced them. They will testify against themselves that they were disbelievers.	Qur'an 6:130 Notes Messengers may have spread the message of Islam, but they did so in a way less convincing than the Jehovah's Witnesses knocking on every door in my neighborhood. I found this religion unconvincing because Allah misguided me, and this is according to Allah in this very book.

Qur'an 6:131 That is because your Lord would not destroy towns for injustice while their inhabitants are unaware.

Qur'an 6:131 Notes I mentioned in annotations in a different chapter that I own a solid gold Lamborghini and enjoy driving it in Dubai. Everybody who read that annotation is aware of this fact, even though I never provided evidence that the solid gold Lamborghini actually belongs to me or that I was ever near it in the first place. Of course, people are still unaware that I actually own that fancy car and drive it regularly because they have no reason to believe that a chronically online individual such as myself would actually have full ownership of anything nearly as valuable. I could repeat this assertion hundreds of times in my book and even insult people who dare question my wealth, but that does nothing to prove my claims. The existence of a solid gold Lamborghini in any part of Dubai does nothing to prove that I specifically own it or have been anywhere near it.

Qur'an 6:132 They all have ranks according to what they did; and your Lord is not unaware of what they do.	Qur'an 6:132 Notes Allah is literally all-knowing. This does not need to be repeated hundreds of times in the same book, as people who read it would get the picture as soon as they read it the first time.

Qur'an 6:133 Your Lord is the Rich Beyond Need, the Possessor of Mercy. If He wills, He can do away with you, and substitute whomever He wills in your place, just as He produced you from the descendants of another people.	Qur'an 6:133 Notes Allah may be "the Possessor of Mercy" as he just described himself, but he really refuses to show this mercy to the people who were wronged by him and need it the most. Why is this world so hostile to humans that they would even need this mercy in the first place?

Qur'an 6:134 What you are promised is coming, and you cannot thwart it.	Qur'an 6:134 Notes Rison's punishment to Allah is coming, and he cannot thwart it. Did Allah forget that?

Qur'an 6:135 Say, “O my people! Work according to your ability, and so will I.” You will come to know to whom will belong the sequel of the abode.” The wrongdoers will not prevail.	Qur'an 6:135 Notes We get it. You refuse to show us evidence and instead choose to repeat the same tired lines over and over.

Qur'an 6:136 And they set aside for God a share of the crops and the livestock He created, and they say, “This is for God,” according to their claim, “and this is for our idols.” But the share of their idols does not reach God, yet the share of God reaches their idols. Evil is their judgment.	Qur'an 6:136 Notes What use does Allah have for these crops, or a spaceship for that matter. Does everything not already belong to Allah by the simple fact that he is all-powerful and can get whatever he wants whenever he wants exactly as he wants it? Allah states repeatedly that this entire world and everything in it already belongs to him and is within the easiest of reaches for him.

Qur'an 6:137 Likewise, their idols entice many idolaters to kill their children, in order to lead them to their ruin, and confuse them in their religion. Had God willed, they would not have done it; so leave them to their fraud.	Qur'an 6:137 Notes Allah saying this implies that the idols are false gods who have the capacity to entice people. Also, killing children is so awful, isn't it Muhammad?

Qur'an 6:138 And they say, “These animals and crops are restricted; none may eat them except those we permit,” by their claims, and animals whose backs are forbidden, and animals over which they do not pronounce the name of God—fabricating lies against Him. He will repay them for what they used to invent.	Qur'an 6:138 Notes This sounds like a fabricated lie.

Qur'an 6:139 And they say, “What lies in the wombs of these animals is exclusively for our males, and prohibited to our wives.” But if it is stillborn, they can share in it. He will surely punish them for their allegations. He is Wise and Knowing.	Qur'an 6:139 Notes Why is this verse describing specific sexist idolators living in a specific part of the world included in a message meant for all humans?

Qur'an 6:140 Lost are those who kill their children foolishly, with no basis in knowledge, and forbid what God has provided for them—innovations about God. They have gone astray. They are not guided.	Qur'an 6:140 Notes Since when was "basis in knowledge" something worth pursuing in the first place?

Qur'an 6:141 It is He who produces gardens, both cultivated and wild, and date-palms, and crops of diverse tastes, and olives and pomegranates, similar and dissimilar. Eat of its fruit when it yields, and give its due on the day of its harvest, and do not waste. He does not love the wasteful.	Qur'an 6:141 Notes Wasting food is bad. A series of verses talking about how to efficiently cultivate crops and avoid food waste would be useful. This is the kind of verse worth explaining in great detail.

Qur'an 6:142 Among the livestock are some for transportation, and some for clothing. Eat of what God has provided for you, and do not follow the footsteps of Satan. He is to you an outright enemy.	Qur'an 6:142 Notes Which footsteps are the footsteps of Satan in the first place? Why does this question lack a clear, unambiguous answer?

Qur'an 6:143 Eight pairs: two of the sheep, and two of the goats. Say, “Did He forbid the two males, or the two females, or what the wombs of the two females contain? Inform me with knowledge, if you are truthful.”	Qur'an 6:143 Notes Two pairs of sheep and two pairs of goats, or just one pair of each? Either way, some pairs are missing here.

Qur'an 6:144 And two of the camels, and two of the cattle. Say, “Did He forbid the two males, or the two females, or what the wombs of the two females contain? Were you present when God enjoined this upon you?” Who does greater wrong than he who invents lies and attributes them to God, in order to mislead people without knowledge? God does not guide the wicked people.	Qur'an 6:144 Notes Allah should have merged this verse with the one immediately before it. Either way, the lack of explained details is quite obvious.

Qur'an 6:145 Say, “In what was revealed to me, I find nothing forbidden to a consumer who eats it, except carrion, or spilled blood, or the flesh of swine—because it is impure—or a sinful offering dedicated to other than God. But if someone is compelled by necessity, without being deliberate or malicious—your Lord is Forgiving and Merciful.

Qur'an 6:145 Notes Biologists and food scientists need to get on this and see what kind of impurities are commonly shared between carrion, spilled blood, and pork. Also, how is it that this sin is forgivable for those who do it without malicious intent? People commit other sins without malicious intent, such as disbelieving, and yet Allah refuses to acknowledge that any disbeliever can have anything other than wicked malice and blindness.

Qur'an 6:146 For the Jews We forbade everything with claws. As of cattle and sheep: We forbade them their fat, except what adheres to their backs, or the entrails, or what is mixed with bone. This is how We penalized them for their inequity. We are indeed truthful.	Qur'an 6:146 Notes Can you explain in detail what specific inequity the Jews specifically are being punished for committing?

Qur'an 6:147 If they accuse you of lying, say, “Your Lord is Possessor of infinite mercy, but His wrath cannot be averted from the guilty people.”

Qur'an 6:147 Notes This verse is a contradiction. Allah's mercy is infinite, but it is finite when it comes to his wrath. These people were created by Allah, who also claims to create each and every demon to ever exist. How are some of his own creations so irredeemable that they deserve some divine wrath more infinite than even this infinite mercy? People would accuse Muhammad for lying just for saying something like that. Those people already accusing Muhammad of lying would feel validated.

Qur'an 6:148 The polytheists will say, “Had God willed, we would not have practiced idolatry, nor would have our forefathers, nor would we have prohibited anything.” Likewise those before them lied, until they tasted Our might. Say, “Do you have any knowledge that you can produce for us? You follow nothing but conjecture, and you only guess.”	Qur'an 6:148 Notes Note for everybody with faith in any position ever: "You follow nothing but conjecture, and you only guess." This is not, in and of itself, a bad thing, but denying it is inherently dishonest. Also, did Allah not state just earlier that these people would not have practiced idolatry would not have done that had God willed for them not to practice idolatry?

Qur'an 6:149 Say, “To God belongs the conclusive argument. Had He willed, He would have guided you all.”	Qur'an 6:149 Notes You said that so many times now. Why does this message in particular bear repeating ad nauseam?

Qur'an 6:150 Say, “Produce your witnesses who would testify that God has prohibited this.” If they testify, do not testify with them. And do not follow the whims of those who deny Our revelation, and those who do not believe in the Hereafter, and those who equate others with their Lord.	Qur'an 6:150 Notes Anybody who believes that every verse of the Quran is truthful can testify that God prohibited the disbelievers from believing.

Qur'an 6:151 Say, “Come, let me tell you what your Lord has forbidden you: that you associate nothing with Him; that you honor your parents; that you do not kill your children because of poverty—We provide for you and for them; that you do not come near indecencies, whether outward or inward; and that you do not kill the soul which God has sanctified—except in the course of justice. All this He has enjoined upon you, so that you may understand.”

Qur'an 6:151 Notes Do believers have to honor parents who do not themselves believe in Allah? Also, does this verse prohibit abortions or not. Muslims, yet again, disagree on something in the religion. Also, what counts as indecencies anyhow? Muhammad and his companions were shown to be indecent in multiple instances.

Qur'an 6:152 And do not come near the property of the orphan, except with the best intentions, until he reaches maturity. And give full weight and full measure, equitably. We do not burden any soul beyond its capacity. And when you speak, be fair, even if it concerns a close relative. And fulfill your covenant with God. All this He has enjoined upon you, so that you may take heed.

Qur'an 6:152 Notes This starts out with some good advice, though nobody should come with ill intentions near any person's property, orphan or not. Giving full weight and measure equitably is also good advice. This verse should just end there to be a good verse, because Allah absolutely burdens many souls beyond their capacity given how many people engage in some form of self-abuse or other unhealthy coping mechanisms.

Qur'an 6:153 This is My path, straight, so follow it. And do not follow the other paths, lest they divert you from His path. All this He has enjoined upon you, that you may refrain from wrongdoing.	Qur'an 6:153 Notes Why, then, does this path not look like the most truthful path to people who do not already believe it to be the truth?

Qur'an 6:154 Then We gave Moses the Scripture, perfect for the righteous, and explaining everything clearly, and a beacon, and mercy, that they may believe in the encounter with their Lord.	Qur'an 6:154 Notes Can we see the original scripture? Can we see the historical evidence of Moses existing in reality?

Qur'an 6:155 This too is a blessed Scripture that We revealed; so follow it, and be righteous, that you may receive mercy.	Qur'an 6:155 Notes In order to follow that scripture, we would need to see it in an uncorrupted form. Does that exist in the modern day? How can we determine which form is the original?

Qur'an 6:156 Lest you say, “The Scripture was revealed to two parties before us, and we were unaware of their teachings.”	Qur'an 6:156 Notes Allah surely must have perfectly preserved those revelations just as these revelations were perfectly preserved... this book itself was perfectly, preserved... right?

Qur'an 6:157 Or lest you say, “Had the Scripture been revealed to us, we would have been better guided than they.” Clarification has come to you from your Lord, and guidance, and mercy. Who then does greater wrong than he who gives the lie to God's messages, and turns away from them? We will repay those who turn away from Our messages with the worst kind of punishment, because of their turning away.

Qur'an 6:157 Notes Allah's messages are too contradictory and outlandish to seem like anything resembling truth. They seem too much like lies. No matter how anyone looks at it, this book clearly states that this is Allah's intentional doing.

Qur'an 6:158 Are they waiting for anything but for the angels to come to them, or for your Lord to arrive, or for some of your Lord’s signs to come? On the Day when some of your Lord’s signs come, no soul will benefit from its faith unless it had believed previously, or had earned goodness through its faith. Say, “Wait, we too are waiting.”	Qur'an 6:158 Notes Many people are, in fact, waiting for the Lord's signs to come so that they know beyond a reasonable doubt that this message is, in fact, from Allah. This chapter says clearly that believers should avoid doubt like the plague, so why does any such doubt exist?

Qur'an 6:159 As for those who divided their religion and became sects—you have nothing to do with them. Their case rests with God; then He will inform them of what they used to do.	Qur'an 6:159 Notes Does this include the Sunni sect, the Shia sect, and any other sects of this religion? Members of these sects claim to have the truth about Islam while the other sects are clearly mistaken. Allah supposedly knew well in advance that this would happen and should have kept things so clearly explained in this book to prevent the emergence of various sects of Islam.

Qur'an 6:160 Whoever comes up with a good deed will have ten times its like; and whoever comes up with an evil deed will be repaid only with its equivalent—they will not be wronged.	Qur'an 6:160 Notes So... nobody gets infinite punishment in that case? People living finite lives can only ever commit finite evil deeds in their finite lives, so they should have finite punishments.

Qur'an 6:161 Say, “My Lord has guided me to a straight path, an upright religion, the creed of Abraham the Monotheist, who was not a polytheist.”	Qur'an 6:161 Notes Allah, once again, seems incredibly insecure here to infinitely punish anyone who dares sincerely believe that any other gods exist.

Qur'an 6:162 Say, “My prayer and my worship, and my life and my death, are devoted to God, the Lord of the Worlds.	Qur'an 6:162 Notes Say that all you want, but don't cause harm that's far more demonstrable than your god's existence.

Qur'an 6:163 No associate has He. Thus I am commanded, and I am the first of those who submit.	Qur'an 6:163 Notes This raises an interesting question. Were... Adam and Eve not also monotheists? Were they not the first monotheistic creations of Allah?

Qur'an 6:164 Say, “Am I to seek a Lord other than God, when He is the Lord of all things?” No soul gets except what it is due, and no soul bears the burdens of another. Then to your Lord is your return, then He will inform you regarding your disputes.	Qur'an 6:164 Notes For those who sincerely believe Allah to be the lord of all things, seeking other gods is silly. However, people who seek other gods sincerely disbelieve in the idea that Allah is, all by himself, the singular lord of all things in the first place. The evidence in this book does an awful job convincing them that monotheism makes any more sense than polytheism.

Qur'an 6:165 It is He who made you successors on the earth, and raised some of you in ranks over others, in order to test you through what He has given you. Your Lord is Quick in retribution, and He is Forgiving and Merciful.	Qur'an 6:165 Notes This chapter loves repeating the tired lines that Allah is forgiving and merciful. This chapter even has the nerve to end that way when mentioning the limits of Allah's forgiveness and mercy.
