I'm happy to use PM instead if you want MK, but otherwise we can't expect others not to comment.
It may be possible however that I won't be able to continue this anyway, depending on your response. There are an infinite number of hypothetical scenarios, which is why it makes sense to focus only only on those that have evidence. I think discussing why you won't abandon it even if it is true is a more fruitful discussion.
In a way, you're trying to think for yourself and argue here, in order to prove that you shouldn't think for yourself and to just do what some other being tells you to do. Instead, I recommend continuing to think for yourself. There is no need to leave behind any wisdom you have found in the religion, it's not like you have to sever yourself. But there is a lot of ground between full rejection and blind obedience.
Edit: to reply to the above, OK, yes I acknowledge that's what you think about Islam. What more can I say?
