  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Essentialsalts, Desk Trauma, comana and many other users on this forum identify as atheists. I am not a christian, myself.

If you click on the little arrow under the name of a user, you can see (among other info) their religious setting.
That makes sense. I don't have anything in common with Atheists, mostly. And this is one of the reasons why.

No, I do not because Atheism also blindly follows Islamic culture claiming they are a religion of peace, as well.
Hi, atheist here, I don’t follow Islamic culture blindly nor do I claim Islam is a religion of peace .

You guys do know that the Holocaust was real, right or are we Holocaust deniers, too.. Iran's military, under Islamic rule will never surrender Nukes..

Iran's military commanders, who reportedly are running the show, will never surrender the Strait of Hormuz.

Nobody wants to Nuke Iran.. Iran wants to Nuke everyone else. They are currently under Islamic regime. We only had peace with Islam during the Ottoman empire, Which is not sustainable.
According to what expert on Iran?

So the solution is a new Crusades to subjugate a mostly Islamic population under non-Islamic rule?
Absolutely that would be a great solution. I would personally sign up if a new Crusade were launched.

Nobody wants nuclear war.. Israel does not want to bomb Iran. America does not want to bomb Iran. Nobody wants Iran to develop nuclear weapons. Muslim religion is the only current religion that wants war with the US.
We (the USA & Israel) attacked them (Iran).

I’m functionally an atheist but ticked the Deist box to avoid the “usual arguments” that atheists have to endure.

I would describe myself as an agnostic atheist, but that wasn't an option.

In Saudi Arabia, the Sharia law that is applied arises from one of the strictest interpretations of Islamic law in the modern age basing it off “the Hanbali school, Islam’s most conservative and focused on the select text. Their interpretation is the most literal of all and is known as Wahhabism, which insists that every Muslim must promote Islam and spread its correct practice. To Saudi Sunni Muslims, the Sharia law sets the standards of rightness or wrongness in human affairs and provides an all-inclusive scale of religious valuation for conduct. Thus, Sharia Law’s application, which conflicts with internationally recognized principles, leads to severe restrictions for minorities. Specifically for religious minorities like Christians and Shias as well as gender minorities including women and members of the LGBTQ+ community, their human rights are considered to be (some) of the poorest in the Arab region, especially when it comes to legalized discrimination.

Beyond the Veil: A Critical Analysis of Sharia Law in Saudi Arabia and Indonesia (2024) Marie-Alix Depuydt, McGill University


Saudi Arabia has seen an unprecedented spike in executions in 2025, having carried out at least 300 executions by October amid serious concerns over lack of due process. Human rights groups warned that the Saudi government is using the death penalty as a tool to suppress peaceful dissent. Over half of those executed this year have been foreign nationals, and at least 198 were convicted of nonviolent drug offenses as of October, raising further concerns over violations of international legal standards.

Despite international law requiring the death penalty be used only for the most serious crimes and never for crimes committed as children under age 18, Saudi Arabia appears to use it systematically to eliminate dissent and maintain political control.

Saudi authorities have intensified their crackdown on freedom of expression to silence dissent, including by the continued detention of fitness instructor Manahel al-Otaibi. She was arrested in 2022 for supporting women’s rights on social media and posting photos without an abaya and later forcibly disappeared in December 2024.
Yeah, I think I heard about that.. From my favorite band! What would Iran do about that, to me.. What would Iran do to every single imperfect human being, on the planet..

That's the whole point of a Savior. Jesus Christ died for our sins. There is no religion that has the authority to persecute

But, I suppose under Sharia, anywhere in the world under Sharia is the same laws
I don't know why you would suppose that. Shari'a is interpreted through the lens of whatever the local culture it, same as Christian laws (is adultery legal or not?).
...A wolf can only snarl and growl at a bear so long before that bear becomes annoyed and takes swipes at that wolf, and chases him down. That time has now happened.
Wolves generally hang in packs which is why Donald alienating our allies is dangerous to the US. One bear against one wolf is one thing, but one bear or even a bear couple against an entire wolf pack is something else again. Then there are the opportunistic jackals....

Because I can look it up for myself.. Any form of Sharia law, is persecutory.. No, we should not make adultery illegal.. that is authoritarian. Which is my whole post about Islam.. that shouldn't even be a question. In a free society, no it is unconstitutional to make adultery illegal. And if so, then we've all committed it.
The second you look at someone with lust,

How many people have broken the 10 commandments? Jesus didn't stone the woman at the well. And he called them Pharisees who were going to!
