Hollywood is in the business of making money. The use of violence in those movies is understood that the audience is mature enough to know the difference between reality and fiction. There are exceptions as there are individuals who can't make that distinction, but we are not going to impose laws on movie makers just because a few don't have all of their brain screws properly fixed.
I am prone to errors like any human being, but in your case, you cannot admit that you believe in a crackpot theory, and therefore your mind is closed to any criticism.
There are billions of people who believe in one religion or another. But as I have defined those religions, they are all crackpot theories as they do not have an inbuilt mechanism for self correction. So whether one is converting to Islam, or any other religion, they are just moving from one crackpot theory to another. I just feel sorry for them to live a life of delusion.
You are talking about Sharia Law as if you are a scholar of it. I bet you do not even know the meaning of Sharia.
You are throwing lies of the crooks on purpose and that behaviour by no mean falls under the category of mistake because if literate person behaves like ignorant then that is a clear sign that he has no conscience.
You are talking about “inbuilt mechanism of self-correction” that mechanism is called conscience which is part of every person by nature.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY WRONG ON THIS ISSUE.
If that was the case then every crackpot theory would be valid because everyone can honestly say that it comes from their conscience. I know that you are speaking from your conscience. I don't doubt that. But since there are 7 billion people on this planet, each person with a conscience, then you would get 7 billion different theories. There is only ONE way out of this mess, and that is, a theory is only good if there is empirical evidence supporting it.
