So can you say Prophet Mohammed was a pedophile by todays standards?
A few years from now, you will be glorifying the acts of ISIS. You would be saying "all on a sudden (because of the acts of the generous and peace loving ISIS people, all the non-Muslims turned to Muslims to an extent that...
If there was no scientific development in the rest of the Non-Muslim world, you would be still riding on camels and donkeys - the past and the future would look the same.
My salute to you @Revoltingest

With ISIS supporters arising from almost all corners of the world from the muslim community, with a huge rate of violence, terrorism and suicide bombers - the figures are not good. What i am afraid is this - it is at the peaceful times that these people are making this kind of atrocities. They...
If unbelievers make a book, it would make sense. It will never be like Qoran.
Unbelievers can make a book on relativity and quantum electrodynamics, genitics and evolution. Can the believers make this? at least a part of it?
Paarsurrey, I don't know where to start with but just trying. These are the questions (of the many) i once asked myself (in blue) and the answers i came up with is embedded in a spoiler.
We, [(you, me, every one in here on RF, and every people i personally know etc )( and I am not talking...
Its very hard for me to understand these. Let me split the para to sentences.
Since I am alive and normal, atman is my own consciousness - agreed.
and when i am dead, the atman does not change and i will have no conciousness - right? So should be the case if i happened to be unconcious (under...
What if there are more than two birds in a tree - one sitting idle, one cleaning its feathers, one looking after its offspring - what kind of ___________atmas are they?
So if atman is one's own consciousness - what happens to it if the person is unconscious -> atman is out of service.
Medically, trauma to the brain can cause impaired consciousness. Does that mean one will have impaired atman at those times?
Just asking.
If God exists - Islam is a religion that takes one away from God in the name of God and Quran is the tool for that - Cripple ones morals, kill the innocents, rape the women and kids.
Alas! A never ending feast for the devil.
At first voted the first option - They are equal. Then recasted the third one.
They should have equal rights and they have equal (average) intelligence. (I am not consdiering physical differences here -strength, stamina etc). Psychologically there are differences - but since "all men are...
Hello (one of the) Smartest_Guy. Its so nice to hear from you.:)
Its going fine here. how about you?
The reason why I wrote the OP is this.
if we like/long for and do something, and if we keep on doing it for 21 consecutive days, we have formed a new habit (this is human psychology). So if...
I agree with you that there is no hard line here.
Moderation ~ "limiting onself from doing (something) too much". The reason why i said is this - if we like/long/ do something, and if we keep on doing it for 21 consecutive days, we have formed a new habit (this is human psychology). So if it...
Common sense? I believe common sense is against religion.
Gratitude, forgiveness, mercy and compassion ? Just a 150 years back, if you happened to say that the Sun is at the center of the solar system in front of a priest or church, the priest would have ordered to burn you at stake because you...
Buddhism mainly. It greatly talks about moderation.
From the bible -" “All things are lawful for me,” but not all things are helpful. “All things are lawful for me,” but I will not be enslaved by anything."
and in some Hadith "Do not take your religion to extreme, because you will not be able...
I can't agree with that. The more religion is integrated into ones daily life, the more it is entrapping oneself. You should do this, not that; this way, not that way etc for no ( or some stupid or superstitious) reasons.
The prophet says to keep your religious beliefs under moderation. Almost every religion makes such claims.
But if one is to perform prayers /rituals /religious acts upto 5 times a day, 365 days a year, and one is to chant a particular verse each time before/after or during a particular act ( to...
It is not a game of chance - if it was so, a grand-master and a newbie would have equal probability of winning the game. That's not the case.
A leadership that cripples free thinking and scientific thoughts.
Whoever spending time on this game is playing and there is no compulsion in it - it...
