Yet it also teaches war, killing, stoning, etc, not love. So, no, I don't 
believe that.

Certainly. That's precisely my point. The followers of a religion pick and 
choose the parts they want to hear. If you haven't read the *whole* Koran 
yourself, arguing about what it says is kind of silly, don't you think?

"Hey, Darren's wrong, because some people who may or may not have read the 
Koran themself tell me he's wrong."

What about the other dozen religions you just *ignored*, compared to which 
Judaism, Christianity, and Islam are essentially identical?

> No he didn't, his attitude also speaks for him. 

My attitude is that I call BS on people who tell me what my god wants me to 
believe without ever having read my holy books, let alone don't believe 
them. I find it an amazing amount of hubris for you to speak for the basic 
premise of every religion in the entire world, don't you?

I'm not arguing the truth of the assertion for people. I'm disagreeing with 
your assertion that every religion wants you to love everyone.

Do you even know what the basic premise of the mayan religion is?
