I am fully aware of this, where do you think the consensus of not marrying Christians comes from? It comes from the ulema! The ulema only serves two purposes right now, divide Muslims and spread hate. The Islamic hierarchy(which should not exist to begin with) needs a religious enema

You forget the technicality that they may only marry people of the book. The Christians are presumed to practice Tawhid but they aren't monotheists. I know my Qur'an and my ahadith, I lived by it. Don't confused what is written unless taken holistically in scripture because there are always...

I was of the Hanaf'i madhabb, although I degenerated from it and became more liberal and took time to disregard the primary 4. Also they are not sects since their teachings are not the issue, it is their implimentation of fiqh which differs it is like comparing a liberal Catholic to a...

I didn't even know there was a new Dragon Age game. I though that game lost popularity or something

As a former Muslim there are some issues with this I can spot out. Modern Muslims disregard this on the basis that Christianity breaks Tawhid, the defining element on why a Muslim is permitted to have a halal relationship with a Christian woman is on the basis of Tawhid and the Trinitarian...

Well as a Left Hand Pather and also a Pagan I can say that it is very easy to have a relationship with a person of a Christian background. My brother is an atheist and married a Catholic and they have a child, the child is raised like any other Christian would raise their child . . . as an...

This person's emotional state would make him lose credibility in his statements.

I have been a Christian and a Muslim and took the time to learn some Arabic and familiarize myself with Greek and Hebrew although Arabic is stronger for me. The reason I am an atheist is simple and it is because I understand the main religious of the world, Islam, Hinduism and Christianity. They...

I never liked animism or pantheism all that much because it seems to be based on a blunder. You are relabeling something that already has a definite label. If I want a god, then I would go for a distinct being not something as naturalistic as nature. My parents weren't ultra religious just...

Oh please. Stop nit picking. I can't believe you are still bloating over my words. Atheists make no such claim that their atheism is an intellectual choice. It is just a choice. I am not even talking about why I am an atheist which means you have not even read a single thing I said in the OP...

I get called stupid by my mother and she wishes me to fail in life. Hatred has never bothered me the slightest considering that it was made clear as a kid that my own mother does not love me. I am far to concerned about other things than to worry about name calling :D. Personally I never...

No idea what you just said. Please rephrase. This is the part I am curious about. Do you believe god created the world? Do you think he/she intervenes in earthly affairs? For the longest time I did not think any of these things and loved the ideal of a god. I merely accepted a...

Sorry I am writing from the perspective of how an Atheist feels when witnessing religion behavior. It is not an insult it is just how Atheists feel often times. This is why I dislike religion. Religion has claimed nothing exclusive to it. Dogma, god, ritual and morality all predate religion...

James 1:1 "James, a slave of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ: To the 12 tribes in the Dispersion. Greetings. " 1 Chronicles 6:49 "But Aaron and his sons made incense upon the altar of the burnt offering and on the altar of incense, in all the work of the holy of holies, and to make...

As an atheist I find it shameful that theist demand that a god literally exist. To me this is just shameful considering that the Easter Bunny, Santa and numerous fictional characters do not exist yet they are meaningful to many people. Why must god be real for it to be meaningful? To me...

The issue though is that it is all reducible (monistic). You can regard inanimate and animate things as the same because animate objects are entirely dependent on inanimate things. I cannot put more stress on the word "entirely"

Islam is nice, as are most religions. Look at Islamic monotheism called Tawhid. It is pure and untouched by any stretching except for the fact that Muslims sometimes deify Muhammad indirectly. Islamic architecture is amazing! Look at Masjid al-Haram or the Hassan II masjid. They are stunning...

Can I get an AMEN! :clap:

My favorite although not comic book is Zensuffism from Dune. Combination of Sufi Islam and Zen Buddhism

I find it funny though. No religious text attempts to prove another because most texts are created with ignorance of other religions. On the other hand religious text provide all the support I need to be an atheist. Without modern scientific theories or anything else I can still be a...
