I wanna thank Lady Noor for showing me with her blog: 'Islam is a Way of Life' that is not against the EC rules to spread fanatic religious views. Thanks to that, now I know that I've the same freedom here to spread my non-religious view as well. Since Lady Noor's blog wasn't banned, I know now mine can't be banned either.
I just wanna make clear that I don't have anything against Islam, but against all the religious dogmas (okay, especially the ones of the three main monotheistic religions) but since Lady Noor is my 'guide to follow', I'll do the same she does, so I'll show here some of my favorite Quran's verses:
"I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip." ~Quran 8:12-13
https://quran.com/8/12-13
"So when you meet those who disbelieve [in battle], strike [their] necks until, when you have inflicted slaughter upon them, then secure their bonds, and either [confer] favor afterwards or ransom [them] until the war lays down its burdens. That [is the command]. And if Allah had willed, He could have taken vengeance upon them [Himself], but [He ordered armed struggle] to test some of you by means of others. And those who are killed in the cause of Allah - never will He waste their deeds." ~Quran 47:4
https://quran.com/47/4
"Men are in charge of women by [right of] what Allah has given one over the other and what they spend [for maintenance] from their wealth. So righteous women are devoutly obedient, guarding in [the husband's] absence what Allah would have them guard. But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; [then if they persist], forsake them in bed; and [finally], strike them. But if they obey you [once more], seek no means against them." ~Quran 4:34
https://quran.com/4/34
"Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth [to cause] corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land" ~Quran 5:32
https://quran.com/5/32
Okay, I don't wanna bore you and make this blog endless like Lady Noor's. I think only few examples are enough to see how 'harmless' is religion, and how much Islam (in this case) spreads 'love and peace' towards people who don't have the same beliefs and who criticize or don't follow their dogmas.
Lady Noor, thanks again from the bottom of my heart for this door you opened in EC and also 'cause, thanks to people like you, I'm more proud to be atheist.
P.S. To all of you who might not like my blog: No worries, I won't do as Lady Noor does deleting all the comments she doesn't like. I won't delete any. Religious comments amuse me :P
Thanks for reading.

I am sorry Mary the Verses you have quoted are totally out of context. I am not a scholar otherwise I will write all in details but I am sure all these verses you have mentioned are in the CONDITION OF WAR. Why don't you approach any authenticated scholar on the quran who can satisfy your all these assumptions.
Is this a putting the mods to the test rivalry? Yeah, this is heating up haha... wow my neighbor, Who else!? :D
For sure religion is after behaviour. And for sure any sort of extremism in this religion is not healthy at all.
Yes, atheism is our way of life!
Mary, what to say! Just BRAVO! Can I join you?
Dear, speaking about religion during Easter holidays is exactly what I like. I don't mind people's being afraid not to live. But we all know what happens to dead bodies, they decompose! We face religoius societes till now and it is hard to believe! Ancient people created gods as they couldn't understand the reality. But being so educated, we can! I can say that blind faith is harmfull and I don't mind being banned! I communicate with many people professing Islam and I can't stop wonderng. But Christians are the same. I hope one day we all will be led by common sense!
Ramnord hit the nail on its head with his comment.
He expressed his opinion, compactly and informative.
There isn't anything better to say.
Thumbs up!
Oi there, folks
Thank you so much for your eye opening blog, Mary. I have nothing to add, Ramnord just put my dot over your "i", so to say. Rose Iris Will also made an outstanding contribution.
Oh, just now, I saw, someone has deleted LADY NOOR's "speech" against me in Onee-chan's blog. Maybe also the wrong way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And one more thing: I remain true to my opinion, who only wants to talk and blog about Islam and the Quran, should do so on platforms other than here. Which of course does not preclude, in the normal context as well as other topics, also to discuss the topic of religion. But then you have to be in a position to allow other opinions.
Oh MARY, you speak from my heart. I thank you so much for your blog.
As I was the one who told Lady Noor, it's too much and to avoid posting such article here in MyEC (more, I didn't tell her!!!), except my mention that the rules of EC should be respected.
I was also the one who had to notice, that my comments had been deleted and she named me to be ignorant and that she deleted my comments as a "favor" for me, means, she wanted to protect me...(someone could recognize me as too ignorant to understand the verses of her holy Quran) hahaha...what a laughter!
I told her that it is outrageous and disrespectful and she must not tell me what to do or to say because I feel adult enough with my age of 66 years, to decide myself what to say.
The answers, you all can read on her blog. Just the mine are deleted...maybe others could agree with me...???
And her mockery of me, you can read also on Onee-chan blog "How to Report An Issue [edited]".
You know? I don't think it needs particular a LINK to websites which doesn't have to do anything with learning English to be banned from the blogs (one of the rules here)...as one of our moderators wrote.
For me, there aren't any differences if there is a LINK or whole passages from the site. It's all the same to me, and It shouldn't be a license to post the content, not just the LINK. Where is there the difference?????
You know? I was also disappointed, no one supported my opinion, (until now with your blog...thanks again) ...also not someone whom I respect and appreciate (very much) and who commented also o the blog. It seems, in terms of religion anything else and anyone else doesn't matter anymore.
I know, I am not as much known here, but I also think, the few who know me, they know also that I always treat them with respect also if I don't agree with their opinion.
I am aware my English isn't perfect. It's just self-taught and I am sure, right now I make many mistakes again. But you know? Everything that I write comes from my own mind and my common sense. I don't need to copy others writings or parts of websites to express my mind.
Please excuse all my mistakes. I am sorry, I don't have the nerves to reread it again for corrections.
I hope and think you can understand me also with my grammar mistakes. At least, I hope so.
Bravo Mary!My hat's off to you!
I have some words on my mind... quote by Arthur Schopenhauer -
'Religion is the masterpiece of the art of animal training, for it trains people as to how they shall think. '
