Hi and welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

All my family and most of my friends are religious believers and I can't even despise them. In the end: Even believing in myths is due to nature's own laws. I hate only those who want to impose their own religious ideas and force the others to follow them. (But sometimes when I am upset and disappointed I damn all of those don't use the neurons in their heads and be confident about themselves) (October 16, 2012 at 11:00 pm)Tino Wrote: Hi Simsim and welcome!

I would like to point out something. I am not a professional English speaker. So don't be surprised by my language or methods of expression. But if you need any help about an Arabic text don't hesitate to consult me. Also I don't know a lot about slang, so I will get much pleasure if I am not insulted in this way in future. I will learn from your language more than your thoughts (but of course I will discuss your thoughts not your language) Thanks for all.

Hi Simsim, if you don't mind me asking, which bit of the world are you from?

You are most welcome Simsim. Please be aware that your discussions must have some foundation in science/ logic; they may also be from a personal perspective. Be warned that many here will tear you premise apart in an effort to get to the crux of the issue. Which is the only thing of importance.
This is the benefit of this forum. There is so much wealth of information here and I am glad that you feel you may benefit from the discussions. I WILL take you up on your offer to translate Arabic for me Perhaps at a later date. Again enjoy your stay here.

I hate religion itself, and use antitheism (as in against theism) rather than antitheist (which might imply that I am against individual theists).

Of course I love debating and discussions and I spent many years in this mode discussing the others in Arabic forums about most the political and theological issues. I think I have a good scientific background, specially in physics and I have some theoretical and practical experience with metaphysical spiritual philosophies like Islamic Sufism. Thanks again and I am sure I will enjoy my time here. (October 17, 2012 at 12:02 pm)Darkstar Wrote: I am antithetistic but I don't 'hate religious people' either.

I hate religion itself, and use antitheism (as in against theism) rather than antitheist (which might imply that I am against individual theists). Well What makes us hate religion is the effort exerted to impose the religion on the oneself and society. Not the religion itself because it is a historical idea. But when we find people want to impose these historical ideas in politics and consider them as an absolute reality, we then take an opposed situation to the religion. We don't, for instance, hate the religions of the ancient Egyptians. Maybe we consider them nice and precious as a cultural heritage. This because there is no one who takes this culture as reality and wants to impose it and forces us to follow him ! Some of metaphysical philosophies are mature and precious heritage of the humanity (But, of course that doesn't make them real ) Regards (October 17, 2012 at 12:33 pm)festive1 Wrote: Howdy!
