The Inline Quran
By adding one line of code to your website, you can make every reference to the Quran on your webpage display the full passage on hover, and each reference will also become a link that will take the user to quran.com.
Sample
The following quote is taken from the God Contention website.
Allah, or God in English, created human beings with a specific purpose (Quran 51:56). To facilitate this, He chose from amongst humanity Messengers, to whom He revealed Scripture, to teach us how to fulfill our purpose in life (Quran 57:25; 4:165). Allah gave us all a limited amount of free will to determine the path that we take in life. We have a choice to follow His Commandments and fulfill our purpose, or to live a life contrary to the reason we've we've been created (Quran 91:7-10). He will raise up everyone who has ever lived and them as to how much they fulfilled their purpose, examining every deed they have ever committed (Quran 99:6-8). Those who strove to remain true to what they were created upon will be rewarded with everlasting bliss in Paradise, while those who ignored their purpose and followed their desires will be discarded to the Fire (Quran 79:37-41).

Usage
Basic Example
Make sure that your string of Quranic references begin with either the word "Quran" or the word "Surah". Casing does not matter. Then, at the foot of your webpage, just before the closing body tag, add the following HTML code:
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://presuppositions.org/software/inline-quran/inline-quran.min.js" ></script>
Here is a full example of the code in use in a sample HTML page:
<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Quranic References</title>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
</head>
<body>
<h1>Quranic References</h1>
<p>We want to refer to the Quran. Therefore, we will.
(Quran 3:12-13; 5:7,9,12; 13:2)</p>
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://presuppositions.org/software/inline-quran/inline-quran.min.js"
></script>
</body>
</html>
Customization Example
The following example shows how to hide the "about" links that point a user to our website. All of the following code should be placed at the foot of the page, just before the closing body tag.
<script type="text/javascript">
var inlineQuran = {};
inlineQuran.settings = {
displayAbout: false
};
</script>
<script
type="text/javascript"
src="https://presuppositions.org/software/inline-quran/inline-quran.min.js"
></script>
The Inline Quran can be seen in action on the God Contention website. If you implement it on your website, please let us know and we may link to you.

Other Writings
"Where is existence going (i.e. eschatology), both immediately and ultimately?"
The Bible states that no one is perfect but God alone (Luke 18:19). As a result, all of us have earned death and condemnation (Romans 6:23). However, in an amazing substitution, God Himself lived the perfect human life in our place, and paid our fine on the cross (2 Corinthians 5:21, Romans 5). Those of us who put our trust in the work He did in our place will be forgiven (Romans 4:5, John 3:18).

"Is what is morally good commanded by God because it is morally good, or is it morally good because it is commanded by God?"
This question has been around at least since Plato, and is known by the name of the "Euthyphro Dilemma". It's really nothing more than a silly trick question wearing a "deep" philosophical mask. If one were to go with the first option provided, it leads to the conclusion that God is subject to the authority of Objective Morality and is not actually able to do whatever He wants, making Him not really God.

"Does Michael Martin's "Atheist's Wager" really show that leading a good life is more important than belief in God?"
No, it doesn't. I'll explain. According to Wikipedia (at the time of this writing), the Atheist's Wager states that if one were to analyze their options in regard to how to live their life, they would arrive at the following possibilities: (A) You may live a good life and believe in a god, and a benevolent god exists, in which case you go to heaven: your gain is infinite.
