"In order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intolerant of intolerance." Paradox of tolerance
Not to mention that the Bible wasn't even written or pieced together by a divine being or a religious man. The Bible as we know it today was created by a Roman Emperor so he could keep his people in check. Oh and how marvelous it was....

Indeed - the classic one being the whole idea of Mary being a virgin, which was most likely an error due to the greek word for virgin also meant young lady.

Sir Robin, the Not-Quite-So-Brave-As-Sir-Lancelot.
Who had nearly fought the Dragon of Angnor.
Who had almost stood up to the vicious Chicken of Bristol.
And who had personally wet himself, at the Battle of Badon Hill.

Gotta love religion.
Its a forbidden fruit in both contexts, yet that is a single event that is shared in those books and for this as well as other similar reasons they are related to each other under the roof of Abrahamic religions. However, those books also cite events of their time as well.
To note them as copies of each other would be in the scope of significant amount of dissertations in theology, which has not been presented so far as neither cumulative nor distinctive works.

Probably the first time i've felt bad about something i've read on here.
It sucks really does that some people in power use their religious views to restrict others like this.
I hope this ends soon

It might be wised if you only spoke about what you know. The "error" was not as you stated. The ambiguous word was the Hebrew word "almah", (I wish I could get the old Hebrew lettering on here.) The Greek word "Parthenos" has no ambiguity at all. Unfortunately for your hypothesis, virgin is indeed the better of the two translations. Isaiah, who made the prophecy, would not have wondered or bothered writing down that a young maiden gave birth. A VIRGIN giving birth is much more noteworthy, and would have been seen as a portent.
This translation is further strengthened by the fact that many faiths and religions of the time put stock in virgin births. Make of that what you will.
Man, its actually really saddening that the majority of you people are blaming it on Islam and insulting the Qur'an and the Shii'ee community. If you actually do this over a game, I feel sorry for anyone you interact with in real life. I mean really? Insulting more then 1 billion peoples belief over a game? OP if this is such a problem to you and you cant stop why not just get a VPN like the people in this thread said? Or you can simply move to another country/
