Weird and Religious
Islamic lore includes detailed descriptions of hell where people’s skins are repeatedly burned off and replaced so that punishment can continue. The body is portrayed as being constantly renewed in order to experience ongoing sensation, which gives the afterlife a graphic physical dimension.

In the name of religion
2007, Pakistan, Lal Masjid crisis. Islamist militants clashed with security forces in Islamabad. Militants justified resistance as defence of Islamic law and opposition to an un-Islamic government, framing confrontation as religious struggle.
Fact
In Christianity, spiritual gifts are recognised, and Christianity teaches that different abilities such as teaching, helping, or leadership are given for the benefit of the community.
Science contradicts religion
Science did not merely offer an alternative to religion, for in many cases it collided with it directly and proved it to be factually wrong. This distinction is important because religion likes to present itself as a poetic or symbolic precursor to science, gently replaced by better explanations, yet the historical record does not support that idea. On central claims about the origin of the universe, life, humanity, disease, and natural events, science does not refine religion. It contradicts it clearly, repeatedly, and decisively.
