The 72 virgins and hooker questions are not the ones that got me scratching.
Those and some of the other questions like the hummus and bacon ones are obviously not serious questions. However, there were 3 questions which sounded like genuine questions to me which are #s 1, 8, and 9. I think those are good questions and they require more thought to answer than the other ones. The point is that you wrote some silly questions along with a few good ones. You stuck in a few questions that would challenge me to think harder about my beliefs (which is not bad thing) while the rest are mainly jokes. Therefore, I agree that you were kidding with me, for the most part, but I don’t think you were totally kidding. 
You are right..some questions did have a bit of a serious point.
If you dont want to answer them..its okay...Im just having fun.
I already answered them although maybe not successfully according to your opinion.
... and thanks for admitting that I was right. 
To be honest, when I read the story of Iblis, that was the first thing I asked myself. "How can fire be alive?"

Regarding one of your answers to a question; When it comes to Islam with Atheists, yeah you're wasting your time if you defend or prop up Islam, just the way it is when the penalty for apostasy is death

The cost for one thing. Islam requires that each wife (and the children) be treated equally, with her own house. Hence a person with four wives could find himself supporting four households and a dozen or more children. Plus having ONE happy marriage is hard enough. (I couldn't manage it) 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Rayaan; excellent post thank you. I have no problem with the notion of an arranged marriage.Seriously, my parents could not have possibly made a worse choice than I made for myself.Are you not permitted to decline their choice? Are you wasting your time? Not for me to say; it's your time.. You're only 24? I'm a bit stunned;the level of maturity, good humour and acceptance you show here constantly is remarkable in so young a man. I had assumed you were in your 40's. (my apologies if that sounds patronising) (January 31, 2012 at 8:26 pm)Hitchslap Wrote: Regarding one of your answers to a question; When it comes to Islam with Atheists, yeah you're wasting your time if you defend or prop up Islam, just the way it is when the penalty for apostasy is death Well, frankly, I don't think that defending Islam is a waste of my time. Aside from that, there are other reasons why I come to this forum, which are mainly to expand my knowledge, discuss with people, make some jokes, get new ideas, and learn about other religions as well. These are things that I find to be the most valuable in my life. So, that's why I am here. (January 31, 2012 at 8:56 pm)padraic Wrote: Rayaan; excellent post thank you. You're welcome. I'm glad that you liked it. Hopefully, now you have a slightly better understanding of me. (January 31, 2012 at 8:56 pm)padraic Wrote: Are you not permitted to decline their choice? Yes, I'm permitted to decline their choice for me because Muslim parents are not allowed to choose someone for their children against their own will.

And my level of maturity, humor, and acceptance is probably just a matter of ... a matter of mind over age? But thanks for the compliment.

I already had my age written on my profile, though. I suppose you didn't know that before. But that's okay.

Which is why Rayaan is cooler than the average Muslim. which is why i voted him "best theist" on this site. |
