The religion of wahhabism

Fairy tales, that's all they are.

People tend not to go to war over interpretations of Jack and the Beanstalk.

All the bloodshed throughout history over some nonsense written back in stone ages.

For the Bible - Bronze Age (possibly), Iron Age, Roman. For the Koran, Byzantine, perhaps?

I can't see the relevance of your statement about Jack and the Beanstalk.

My guess is Oscarose was using stone age as a reference to when humans where considered backward, rather than a specific time period.

It's quite simple. I'm maintaining that people don't go to war over the interpretation of fairy tales, ergo - religious texts aren't fairy tales. Some other category quite possibly, but not fairy tales.

Some of the ages during which what are now religious texts were written, were quite sophisticated. Certainly give your average university student a run for their money nowadays.
