Personally, religions shouldn't have any 'narrow' goal, such as to convert or kill...
It should be to make the world a better* place (I must be sounding very ideal right now
)
Whether it states it in the Koran or not, texts like those brought by Walleye should be re-interpreted, no matter how straightforward,
because religions, as I said before, should be used as a tool to make the world a better* place.
All religious beliefs should be directed to the sole goal of making the world a better* place to live in. If not, than one should reinterpret that belief or passage of text differently.
* denotes that the term 'better' can understandably be interpreted in many different ways.
