I did not. You cannot cite a text in support of itself, that's self-referential nonsense and begs the question. Anyone could write a book that contains the claim, "Everything in this book is true, correct, consistent, and complete." You wouldn't accept that in any book but the Quran, and the only reason you accept it there is because it contains that claim and you believe it a priori anyway. I don't believe it, on good logical and evidential grounds that you just repeatedly deny.
No, this is not the logical rule. In stead: read the book carefully, then you may decide it is good or not.
Although you said you read the translation of the meaning of the Quran, and you found that silly!
Concerning this, there is an aya 8: 31

وَإِذَا تُتْلَى عَلَيْهِمْ آيَاتُنَا قَالُواْ قَدْ سَمِعْنَا لَوْ نَشَاء لَقُلْنَا مِثْلَ هَذَا إِنْ هَذَا إِلاَّ أَسَاطِيرُ الأوَّلِينَ
The explanation:
(When Our revelations are rehearsed to them, the [associaters] say:
"We did hear [such old fables],
if we wished we could say [words] like this [Quran];
surely this is nothing but written fables of the ancients.")
So God replied to them and said in the aya 52: 34

The explanation:
(Then let them produce a relation like the [Quran] if they are truthful [in their claim that Mohammed has invented it.] )
E.g. although you may say: "who cares!"; but you said the Quran is useless, so you have to answer:
See this aya 31: 10(Then let them produce a relation like the [Quran] if they are truthful [in their claim that Mohammed has invented it.] )
E.g. although you may say: "who cares!"; but you said the Quran is useless, so you have to answer:
خَلَقَ السّماواتِ بِغيرِ عَمَدٍ تَرَونَها، و ألقى في الأرضِ رواسيَ أنْ تَميدَ بِكم
The explanation: (He created the [gaseous] heavens without pillars you see, and He cast on the earth firm [mountains], lest it sway irregularly with you …)
Now, my question is that: you said that you had read the translation of the meaning of the Quran to find it useless; ok then, what you understand from the aya:
Are there pillars for the heaven or are there not such pillars?

So where did the evil-doers come from, and who are they? You're just hanging yourself farther and farther out on a limb. A being who makes no attempt to guide wrong doers back to the true path but instead deliberately misleads them even further and then punishes them horribly for errors he led them to make is neither merciful nor compassionate. He's a mean-spirited, vindictive, manipulative psychopath.
People generally are of two kinds: good-doers and wrong-doers.
When man accompanies the good-doers, he will acquire the good-doing from them; and when he accompanies the wrong-doers, he will acquire the wrong-doing from them in like manner.
God does not like the wrong-doer, the proud, the traitor and the sinner; therefore, He will not give such bad persons, the guidance.
