If you can't see how it can apply, you have no defense against falling for it.

No drama. I simply oppose all superstitious nonsense in all of it's guises. Evil only triumphs if good people stand to one side and do nothing.

That's true; but it's very healthy to check every once and a while for the evil in your side.

I think it's 2 lines at most; no need for huge ad-hocs algorithms.

Does Allah forgive all who seek his forgiveness?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

"No offense but your husband is a terrorist."

Got it. Lol.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

But I won't forever sit in silence and watch the oppressors oppress.  I just need to learn about economy, the world, and history, and other skills, and learn about the structure of power today.

Otherwise, we can complain till the cows come home. It won't change anything.

No. There's a river of blood in the Middle East, the killing is carried out by the dictators ruling, and their allies. It's very insulting to have a country like Israel made and constructed out of the blue to satisfy a biblical prophecy, it's more sad to see Palestinian people who lost their homes living like slaves without passports or any papers across the Middle East.

It's spreading awareness. It's not at all complaining.
Cows?

Usually ad hoc makes an explanation he himself doesn't believe in to argue a point in a fantasy what if conversation just for the sake of argument.

But in this case, I would not believe in explanation of Quran that I don't believe myself.
