So, which version of the crucifixion of Christ is right, the Bible or the Quran?

Of course Israelis don't sling homosexuals off of buildings as they do on the orders of their god in other parts of the world.
Not mentioning any one particular faith or alluding to hatred against others here, now are we?

This was mostly for people who dont worship God, i wanted to see what they thought of a contract agreement with a God.
Interesting hypothetical.
I mean, who would the contract be made with and how could such a contract be enforced or acted upon?
Oh, of course, someone would come out of the woodwork and claim that he has been authorised to issue the contract by "the other party" and that all worshipers and non-worshipers must sign it because, well, its union rules you know. And any default on the part of the worshiper shall be punishable by forfeiting one's possessions and one's head.
But then, it has already been done as of some 1700 years ago and the agreement was verbal or implied upon one's birth.
Nowadays such agreements, if they were to be written, should be re-worded: Whereas the "Blank" (hereinafter known as the Nitwit).

If you believe that then why have you only seen it as promoting hatred against Islam? Why haven't you also suggested that "that individual may well be bent on promoting hatred against" Christianity, after all, the thread is questioning and bringing into doubt the crucifixion of the Christ , a Christian icon ?
However, the title of the thread is "Islam, Christianity and the Crucifixion" and you are making comparisons between the validity of one religion versus another throughout the thread.

An "ordered universe" is a very loose term
For example, there are some people who could see order in three stones dropped on the ground ("derrr, like, if you draw a line between those stones, you get a triangle, now that's no coincidence, is it")
Then you get most people who would tell the former "to stop being silly and lay off the dope."
The universe is no different in that it comprises objects randomly dispersed according to the natural laws of physics, nothing more, nothing less.
If there were say, cube-shaped planets that defied the laws of nature one could reasonably raise the issue of creation.
But as the universe stands, there is absolutely nothing about it that indicates anything to do with creation. Anyone who chooses to make patterns out of randomness to suit his or her preconceived beliefs is either being stupid and/or has too much time on his or her hands and should take up something more intellectual such as basket-weaving or number plate stamping.

And The Jehovahouse witnesses are no where near the weirdest Christians.
That raises the issue of course; how do you decide the weirdest of the weird.
Given that any form of Christianity is in fact weird (Weird: /wied? adjective, suggesting something supernatural; unearthly)....
one could describe JWs as being just as nutty as any other Christians except that they adhere more firmly to their chosen weird beliefs.

Islam has it that while they believe Jesus existed, that he was only a prophet and not gods son, and that his believed death on the cross was all faked:
Perhaps Islam got it right; it depends upon one's point of view.
For example, if one were to be of a biased disposition that everything in the New Testament is true and that all other beliefs are fake and inferior, that individual may well be bent on promoting hatred against Islam.
