I put it where I started to question the very foundation of what it perceive ourselves to be. Praise and value mainly. Purpose.
I suggest you read that thread and then begin to question, if you truly do believe in praise - why do you? You will inshallah see the face of God living in you and that you are connected to the Sacred. In fact praise only exists through his name.
My last post in that thread:
Quote:I hope everyone finds their path and meaning. It's been a humbling experience. Questioning our very foundation of our humanity and self.
I confess I did not go back and reread that thread. However I have been amazed every time you bring up "praise" as something about which to base an argument. What is praise? Isn't it just expressed approval, often something used to manipulate the behavior of others? Being praiseworthy isn't an objective state of affairs, or if it is, it is contingent. Will a god's nature change as that of which we approve changes? How come our approval is seen as so powerful?
