Islam; my faith; and other faiths

[WinterHold]

Crunchy, your interpretation of my statement is so wrong that I despair that it's even possible for you to understand my position. Clearly I don't have the capacity to express myself in a way that reaches you. I certainly don't have the patience. That's on me, but I don't have the energy or fortitude to keep hitting my head against this particular brick wall. You can take that as a victory, if you like.

If I've misrepresented you I apologize. I go to great lengths to make sure I don't label people's views incorrectly. I don't want to be tilting at windmills.
However, after re reading your posts I don't see what I've got wrong. You specifically said that religions are the people who believe them. You specifically said that the text can be made to say anything. And these views were expressed after you had been arguing in defense of the Quran not endorsing child brides. As though an illiterate sex slave owner even knew what amenorrhea was or more likely, would have even cared.

You seem like a reasonable dude and I'm not here to pick any fights and certainly not to win anything. But I do express my views and defend them which I think is the purpose of these forums.

"wouldn't it ?"

Or was it

"wooden tit"

...A war can start because of that; you know. It won't be against Windmills like the famous novel; though!

So yeah, words can be whatever you want them to be..they call the meaning book "a dictionary"; I advice you to buy one.
