Ok Catholics, your turn to take the wheel, now she's attacking you specifically.

OK, but in Islam, Allah (swt) has no gender. Look into this website for a better explanation.

Catholics, Protestants, Jehovahs, Jews and Muslims all preach to 'love one another,' right? They all worship the same man-made guy in the sky, so why do they kill each other and hate each others guts?! Religion has been the cause for so many wars and mass bloodshed throughout history.
I personally wish that all the religious people could live on their own island, blow each other up, etc, and leave the rest of us to live in peace!

I think you miss the point of the Old Testament. The whole point of the Old Testament was to show you that every little thing you did was sin in the eyes of an infinitely perfect, sinless God. You sweared against your parents? Υou had two options, sacrifice to make amends for your sin, or face permament death because you sinned against an infinite God. Even the smallest of sins separated you from God. It was not God that punished you but evil wss the natural outcome of this separation.
God is infinitely Holy and he cannot allow sin stand in his presence. So no matter what we did we were condemned. God was unapproachable.
The New Testament recognizes our propensity for sin, and our smallness compared to God. Jesus who was the personification of love, came to set us free from the slavery of the law.
Christ is the one who made it so that we can approach God. He came to us in the incarnation to bring God down to man.
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:4).
Christ fulfills all of the demands of the law because he walked in perfect love. Justification cannot come through the law (see Gal. 2:21; Acts 13:38-39). Each of us-every single human being (see Rom. 3:10-12, 19-20)-has failed to do what God's law requires of us (Gal. 3:10; 6:13; cf. James 2:10). But to understand what God requires, we must see what Christ provides. In his mercy, God has provided his Son as a twofold substitute for us. Both facets of Christ's substitution are crucial for our becoming right with God. These facets are grounded in the twin facts that (1) we have failed to keep God's law perfectly, and so we should die; but (2) Jesus did not fail—he alone has kept God's law perfectly (see Heb. 4:15) —and so he should not have died.
Yet in his mercy God has provided in Christ a great substitution—a "blessed exchange"—according to which Jesus can stand in for us with God, offering his perfect righteousness in place of our failure and his own life's blood in place of ours. When we receive the mercy God offers us in Christ by faith (see Acts 16:31; 1 Tim. 1:15-16; 1 Pet. 1:8-9), his perfection is imputed—or credited or reckoned—to us and our sinful failure is imputed—or credited or reckoned—to him. And thus Jesus' undeserved death pays for our sin (see Mark 10:45; 1 Tim. 2:5-6; Rev. 5:9); and God's demand for us to be perfectly righteous is satisfied by the imputation or crediting of Christ's perfect righteousness to us. "If justification were through the law, then Christ died for no purpose" (Gal. 2:21). But "God has done what the law ... could not do" (Rom. 8:3).
We could not keep the law and the outcome was devastating: Physical and spiritual death. Now Jesus (love) is our only law. If you love your neighbor, you fulfill the requirements of God's law. (The law of love which is now written in your heart)
The Koran calls for non-muslims to be slayed and I think that book is offensive towards non-muslims. Apostasy carries the death penalty under Islam. The koran should be banned. What's more harmful? A Danish cartoon mocking a non-existent man in the sky or an abusive and non-scientific book demanding people who don't believe in such idiotic nonsense to be murdered?
