The intellectual dangers of religious group labels

Copyright Carl Janssen 2018 May 18

Even if someone was 99.99999999999% sure the Quran was inspired by God it could be dangerous to think about it the Quran is true or False after a public conversion to Islam because even if the Quran does not teach to execute people who renounce Islam a large enough percentage of people who label themselves as Muslims execute people who convert to Islam via saying a prayer in front of witnesses and then later change their mind, hence that set of people who label themselves as Muslims make intellectual sincerity in studying the Quran difficult even if the Quran were true.  Churches have had similar practices hundreds of years ago but rarely do anymore in developing countries.  This practice also occurred in which individuals who labeled themselves as Hindus would execute other Hindus who converted to what they considered to be Christianity.
