Are you deliberately obtuse?
no I am not. I am not trying to annoy you. The fact that this bothers you this much should cause you to look inwards.
What part of me being over it don't you get?
if you were over it you would not be responding. you would just click the box to unsend and end it the fact that you are responding is that want to engage. Something is bothering you.
And if this argument you are having is so important why did you let it sit for six months?
like I said someone else came in and posted on the thread. Now who is being obtuse? I re-read some of the answers and realized I could have answered the question better or I had left something unsaid. That being said. I may go back and clarify some of my answers.
Sorry but what you linked to in your OP concludes exactly with how they went way beyond the text.
you keep saying that, but that is vague and means nothing. I think that is the way you want it, undefined texts favor you.
Now if you want to repudiate the article you linked to, fine.
Now why would you ask such a silly thing and why would I want to do that?
As I said, I'm over the whole thing.
then why are you posting?
I think you may have a problem with people who disagree with you and who agree with the article you linked to.
no, you have a problem with people saying that you are in error and need to change. that means personal responsibility. it is a sin issue. stop sinning the problem goes away. My view is that Islam is there to check the permissiveness of the church. They came into being when the church was very weak morally. the text as interpreted is that they are God's police men to protect the Abrahamic and Mosaic covenants.
You don't have to like my interpretation. You don't have to like the article you yourself linked to. But that's your problem and not mine.
you don't have an interpretation, because you never gave one.
Do I have to put you on 'ignore' or can you leave it alone. After all for six whole months you left it alone and now it's all of a sudden so very important to you? Get over it.
Your response is odd, this is a public forum and I am well within the bounds of the rules. why do you think you set the rules of the forum? No one forced you to respond to the post. If you don't like this topic, by all means, unfollow, no one wants you here against your will. This is a legitimate topic and will continue if others choose to do so. If you don't want to, that is your business, unfollow the thread. But don't act like something bad is going on or you are a maryter just because you don't like the subject. By all means, leave if you are unhappy, but don't tell me i cannot post in public. It seems this is a control issue, free discussions are allowed.
