-But I don't care about the quran, I believe it's claims less than I believe yours. At least, for me...there's some confidence in that you -believe- what you claim. I think that with the quran.....it's a bit more complicated.
I can see how struggling towards an ideal would lead to improvement even if the ideal was only, more plainly, an idol. I know it's worked for me - many times.
Personally, I don't think that etiquette is even applicable in our conversation You're being fucking ridiculous Mystic. It's not enough to save the drowning kid...I have to curtsy real low before I dive into the river? That gonna help me save the kid?
Fealty and genuflection as the primary concern is emphasized in a great many holy books Mystic. Including the two your own is cribbed from. I'm less surprised and impressed by this than you, clearly.
What higher realms..and why would they even matter?
So what is good in islam is only good if the god of islam exists? If it doesn't..then all of a sudden all that "goodness" just evaporates? Any particular value only "makes sense" if there's a god, an isn't....it's worthless? Remind me never to turn my back on you. Hell, remind the people around you. I don't wanna get stabbed in the damned kidney because you had a moment of doubt.
