    That’s super interesting. Honestly I found it fascinating just how chill god was in the quran about a lot of things that i figured were hardline rules. The haj, Ramadan, the prayers all had plenty of exceptions allowed… Its just unfortunate how very not chill god goes on to be about topics like women, slavery, and non-believers etc…

      It is because “god” is very chill about sins that the religious leadership would often commit.

      Then not chill about everyone’s rights to stand up to, and impact the wealth, power, and influence of the religious leaders.

      Funny little coincidence there. Almost like the rules skew to the benefit of those who wrote them “by the will of god.”
