This probably would have been best left there. Just my opinion.

Religion makes people do stupid and crazy things all in the name of a deity. NOT just Muslims. Any religion that has a god interested in using threats and violence in order to subdue people into following them, automatically makes the religion a threat to society.
MysticKnight Wrote:Christianity and Judaism has many of the same original rules of Islam, but, their people don't seek to implement them in today's world. This is why in Surahs that advocate these teachings it's also emphasized not to fear people but fear God, not fear a blame of a blamer, and be sincere to God in his love and firm against the disbelieving people.bold mine
Again any religion that teaches it's believers that they must fear the same god they claim loves them, is a dangerous religion. Love should never equate fear. Do we not tell victims of abuse that they don't have to be afraid of their abuser? Do we not teach victims of abuse that their abuser doesn't love them if they demand the victim fear them? So why should a double standard be okay for a god? Answer: it's not okay.

Sorry - not "every" people believe in a god. Therefore, not everyone is going to fall for the bs of fearing a god. Especially one that's imaginary.
MysticKnight Wrote:The mess will only be solved by recognizing we need a leader and guide from God.
No, sorry. We don't need a leader or a guide from an unknown who refuses to even directly come down and show his face to provide evidence that he's even real. I'll pass on that whole pretending to have an imaginary friend thing. I already did that as a child. [/quote]
