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>

"Should modern mainstream religions be considered cults?"
Modern mainstream religions could be considered "cults", and every form of Atheism could as well. But why should it matter if that particular term can be applied? Why would we want to call every modern mainstream religion a "cult" apart from a desire to provoke some type of defensive emotional reaction from religious persons? And why would anyone be interested in manipulating such a reaction?

"Are you absolutely sure that the Bible is not a work of Satan, the Father of Lies, appearing under the guise of an angel of light to deceive you? (2 Cor 11:14)"
This is a great example of a nonsensical question. 2 Corinthians 11:14 claims that "Satan disguises himself as an angel of light". John 8:44 states that Satan "is a liar and the father of lies". The question presupposes that 2 Corinthians 11:14 and John 8:4 are in fact true. It then goes on to suggest that if in fact these verses are true, mightn't they also be false? The answer is quite obviously, no.

"I read these two verses and I think the Christian god cannot make up their mind the two verses are Ezek 24:14 and Jonah 3:10. Can you refute this?"
Here are the scriptures in question. Ezekiel 24:14 "I, the LORD, have spoken; it is coming and I will act. I will not relent, and I will not pity and I will not be sorry; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you," declares the Lord GOD.'" Jonah 3:10 When God saw their deeds, that they turned from their wicked way, then God relented concerning the calamity which He had declared He would bring upon them. And He did not do it.
