I am not trying to offend anyone, but this is what I say: The Bible, (and therefor the Qur' an, Vedus, etc.) is nothing but a book. It was writen by a man, and a man only. My evidence is because there are alterations in every holy book of each major religion. There are some things that are taken out and rewriten to apease a ciertain religon's ways. Therefore implying that any religion's holy script is not the word of god.
Hope this helps! Tell me if there is somthing wrong. And again, I'm not trying to offend anyone.
Have a nice day!

The Mayflower Compact was signed by the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower in 1620. The document established a government for the new Plymouth Colony. When the Pilgrims landed far north of their intended destination in Virginia Colony, they realized that they would be outside the jurisdiction of any established government. To maintain order, the settlers signed the Mayflower Compact as a means to pledge allegiance to King James, legitimize their settlement outside their chartered land, and to establish a civil government with the authority to enact laws.
Have a wonderful day
These contrasting metaphors were used by Fitzgerald to convey the message that tolerance has a limit and that morality is always at stake despite having a strong foundation.
