    Should condoms be handed out

    You haven't proven anything these are just empty statements. This is a non-sequitur. Just because something is sometimes not used for its intended purposes does not mean those other purposes fall under the intended purposes. Invoking animal behaviour as a justification is also a hilariously bad...

    Should condoms be handed out

    If you can't understand that, then you're in no place to lecture me about supposedly not understanding psychology. 1. Sleeping around isn't healthy. 2. Healthy =/= good. 3. The religious position doesn't have anything to do with whether extramarital sex is healthy or not. If God said it was...

    Should condoms be handed out

    Having you ever stopped and considered that maybe natural =/= good?

    Should condoms be handed out

    And what exactly does this prove? That people in the modern age have an unhealthy obsession with sex?

    Should condoms be handed out

    A relationship doesn't need sex to be healthy. I don't need to have sex with my friends to have healthy relationships with them. There's nothing special about a romantic relationship which introduces a need for sex. It's a positive addition, yes, but its purpose is procreation. If a person...

    Should condoms be handed out

    I disagree. If you're a parent you do what's best for your child whether they like it or not. Leaders should do the same.

    Should condoms be handed out

    Not having sex if you don't want children certainly obviates the need. And so, for you, the obvious solution is to blame the rules instead of the people breaking them for the negative consequences? If you're told, "Don't have sex until marriage; there may be bad consequences" and you do it...

    Should condoms be handed out

    The simple way to avoid that harm is to not have sex outside of marriage. It's not difficult at all.

    Was Abraham a Jew ?

    "Abraham was neither Jew nor Christian, but one inclining towards the truth, one who submitted (unto God), and he was not one of the polytheists" (Qur'an 3:67).

    Do Women Have Souls?

    Not propaganda, I'm just saying what these particular people believe.

    Wikipedia as a source?

    And that is pretty much what is going on here. The study of both the Babi Movement and the Baha'i Faith is and has almost always been monopolized by academics who are members of this religion themselves and who are required by their religion to have their works approved by the administration...

    Wikipedia as a source?

    Often that makes it even worse. Regularly, cliques will gather around and stalk articles they have a vested interest in and prevent anyone from adding any kind of information they don't like, no matter how well-sourced it is. Case in point: all the Baha'i-related articles.

    Bahaullah: Kitab-i-Iqan: “Book of Certitude”

    1. I can't find this in al-Kafi, but it is in the Kamal al-Din of Ibn Babawayh (vol. 1, p. 338). 2. al-Kafi, vol. 8, p. 177. 3. al-Kafi, vol. 8, p. 308. 4. Baha'u'llah has fabricated this saying. There is a similar report in the first chapter of vol. 53 of Bihar al-Anwar, but nowhere in this...

    Bahaullah: Kitab-i-Iqan: “Book of Certitude”

    1. Rumi, Masnavi, Book 3 https://sufism.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Rumi-Book-III-Version-1.0.pdf (see page 88). 2. I have mentioned this in post no. 29 in this thread 3. Not sure, but this hadith is cited by Khomeini in Sharh Du'a al-Sahar. 4. Hadith Kumayl/Hadith al-Haqiqa 5. Not sure where...

    Bahaullah: Kitab-i-Iqan: “Book of Certitude”

    This is not from the Bible or any of the apocrypha. It's a hadith from Imam al-Sadiq where he has attributed these words to Jesus (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 5, p. 358). Stephen Lambden mentions this quote in his PhD thesis.

    Bahaullah: Kitab-i-Iqan: “Book of Certitude”

    1. Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 39, p. 56. 2. He's not quoting anything here. Not sure what you're looking for. 3. No idea where this is from. 4. No idea. 5. No idea. 6. No idea. 7. He's not quoting anything here, and I am not sure where he is getting this story from. 8. This is most likely taken from...

    Why Baha’i? It Comes Down to Five Questions

    I will address a few points. ﴾وَقَالَتِ الْيَهُودُ وَالنَّصَارَىٰ نَحْنُ أَبْنَاءُ اللَّهِ وَأَحِبَّاؤُهُ قُلْ فَلِمَ يُعَذِّبُكُم بِذُنُوبِكُم بَلْ أَنتُم بَشَرٌ مِّمَّنْ خَلَقَ﴿ "And the Jews and the Christians say, 'We are the children of God, and His beloved ones.' Say, 'Why then does He...

    Indoctrinated? I'm a convert to Islam. I was raised Christian. You think I'm some Hezbollah member?

    Bahaullah: Kitab-i-Iqan: “Book of Certitude”

    1. Not sure where it comes from. Probably either a rough paraphrase of something from the hadith or a quote Baha'u'llah came up with himself, since he does not even say it is a hadith. But it's a common sense idea really, nothing special. 2. This is from a khutbah of Imam Ali and is cited in...

    Wow you really are a true American. Cannot take a joke at all. If I posted the navy seal copypasta, would you call the police?
