    Interesting article on Catholicism

    Has the papal office ever offered some type of recourse when it comes to usury (seeing as it is a pretty well integrated part of most nation's economies)

    What are the values of moderate Muslims?

    Seyyed Hossein Nasr likened the Qur'an to a tree that bears fruit. Within it is wisdom and guidance for all manner of humanity. A man who is not capable of looking at it in depth still is able to taste the fruit that comes from following and reading the book, but as one commits and finds them...

    What are the values of moderate Muslims?

    Hassan al Banna said "A Muslim should strive to attain a strong body, good character, cultured thought. He should be able to earn a living, have pure belief, and correct worship. He should be able to control his desires, be careful about his time, organized in his affairs, and beneficial to...

    Would the world benefit or not if it were all to follow the same religion?

    If it had been thy Lord's will, they would all have believed,- all who are on earth! wilt thou then compel mankind, against their will, to believe! (Surah Yunus Ayat 99)

    If the Abrahamic God(s) Were Human...

    (Not to get too off topic) And remember, Moses said to his people: "O my people! why do ye vex and insult me, though ye know that I am the messenger of Allah (sent) to you?" Then when they went wrong, Allah let their hearts go wrong. For Allah guides not those who are rebellious transgressors...

    Would You Worship an Indifferent God?

    I suppose it would depend on the relation of the deity between him and us. If, for example, it was the Creator and we were the creation then yes, I would worship him. Simply being because we were created for that purpose. I think it really depends on how you try to reconcile this indifference...

    If the Abrahamic God(s) Were Human...

    Exactly, it's contradicting one of the most essential traits of God as being supremely transcendent of everything in this world. It's, frankly, the rankest sort of heresy to attribute something from the natural world as God from an Islamic point of view and it's called shirk. It's akin to...

    I am a Muslim

    I am a Muslim; I make seventy excuses for my brother, when I am unable then the shortcoming is my own.

    Is every version of God a God-of-the-gaps?

    God is also seen as an explanation and cause of miraculous events, which contradicted the understanding of the natural world back at the time of revelation. The prevalence of miracles across most religions show that God was never understood as simply the natural laws which govern this...

    Would You Worship an Indifferent God?

    How would you reconcile indifference with a desire to be worshiped? That's sounds contradictory to me.

    How do you decide when you've won a debate?

    I agree, it is very hard to get someone to change their mind especially when it comes to passionately held beliefs such as politics or religion (at which point one has to be pragmatic as to who to debate and who the audience is). I think though that should be the ultimate goal, to convey...

    How do you decide when you've won a debate?

    When someone else learns something and better understands my perspective I think that's when I win a debate. Your response could be as thorough as a proof, but until you can convey your ideas in a way that are understood and received by the opposing side I don't think you win a debate.
