Where should I start? I can stand for women to go around bare breasted. There is less income for women, there is the idea that a woman enjoying her sexuality is bad. There is the general idea that women are weak. And you come to me asking why Heatheness is previleged? For bothering about bare breasts? Hey, lets move the mountain, we can, but starting that over the forum is dumb, disingenuous at best. Lets have people go around shirtless all around the world. Then we can be whatever point you are trying to make
None of that makes her a privileged member, it makes her an opinionated member. There's a difference.
I got an A+ in the 6 week course I took in summer (condensed from a 4 month course). It was tough. I realize I can't be investing time in these forums anymore. I did good because I stayed away from everything but school. I want to finish my degree. I will be going taking another course this semester as well and then four courses in the fall. I lost a lot of weight and am the lightest I've been in many years. Everything is going good and I feel a lot of that is because I spent less time here and in other forums.
I think there isn't much more to be done here anymore on my part. People are aware of my various arguments, and I am aware of your responses to them. I can't learn much more from debating here. I learned a lot over the years through debating here but things have reached a plateau. If you guys were in a room where your parents were getting insulted, over and over again, it would be hard to keep your cool. People forget how much God means to some people. I been trying to keep cool and calm collected, but I feel that a hidden rage is growing and bitterness. May God temper it with forbearance and compassion. I in the past as a Deist tried to convince myself that there is no merit of believing in God over not believing him at one point. I tried to reason against all the arguments of why God would send Messengers as well. I even tried to reason away with God. The truth is I don't know what I been doing all this time. It feels truly that Satan is making a mockery of me and my life. He had me dead but somehow, I'm coming back to life. I spent way too much time on these forums and other forums. Guys I tried my best to reason away with Islam, I did many times even after coming back to Islam, but I know it's the truth for reasons I never really got to explain thoroughly and no one really want to get into the depth of the discussion with anyways. I know it to be true and it doesn't matter what my desires say, it doesn't matter how strange it seems to many people. The Quran is not like any other book. I testify there is no God but God, and Mohammad is his Messenger. Losty, my love, I will miss you the most Thanks for the time you guys spent engaging with me. With peace and love.
Good luck in school, MK.
We'll miss you.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
