I’ve often wondered why monotheism isn’t the first form of religion we see historically if things like christianity are true. You would think if God only wanted us to worship him and would punish us otherwise he’d be sure to be the very first spiritual concept humans understood.
Of course...
The rejection of Islam.
Over the years that I have left Islam my mind has become more and more convinced that Islam is a downright fabrication. In fact I have come to regard it as one of the greatest cons in the history of man. On par with Mormonism when it comes to how downright silly the...
If you believed that the truth of the universe was that it was meaningless and that human life was a mere accident is this a good enough reason to try and adopt a different set of beliefs? Is It enough of a reason that someone who thinks all this is depressing and that existing would at least be...
I was just wondering what everyone's favorite historical periods or events to learn about were? You don't have to list just one but go ahead and list which ones strike your fancy the most.
I personally have a wide variety of interests but I'd have to say my favorites are as follows.
Medieval...
I was taking a break from the vast amount of religious and historical reading I do to check out some of the lore behind one of my favorite tabletop games. Corvus Belli's infinity. In infinity there is a faction made up mostly of Muslims called Haqq Islam, for some reason they translate this as...
I was once a Muslims and I've been thinking lately. One of my biggest concerns as I was leaving was hadith. I often found the hadith was all over the place, most of the very worst parts of Islam came from the hadith and there is a lot of backwards ideas present within. On top of that the...
What I mean is could someone like me who doesn't believe in any sort of supernatural entity whether it be a ghost or God gain faith by praying? How exactly would that work?
I've been thinking about this topic a bit lately. Well to be more specific the topic of homosexuality within the Abrahamic tradition. As if it was meant to be taken as a sign I found this video.
I will caution you there is some strong language in this video.
You could argue that many Abrahamic...
Islam is now pretty much impossible to separate from the culture of the people who practice it. What I mean by that is there are plenty of practices in Islam that have no place in the Quran and debatably a place in hadith that Muslims carry out everyday.
One of these things is the head...
What arguments do you believe point to there being a God or gods and why do you think this makes more sense than the idea that there are no gods? I am personally a non-believer but I would greatly like to hear arguments against this position and possibly find a religion that at least makes...
I've been missing spirituality in my life for awhile now and part of me wants to get it back. How should I go about finding a new faith and or should I just come up with my own? I'm fairly knowledgeable on various faiths but I am having a hard time choosing one to incorporate into my life. I...
Hi, I’m new around here and i’ve decided I would share my story with you all. If you don’t want to read the whole thing and just say hello that works as well. I’ve chosen this site to share my story and hopefully engage in some interesting discussion.
My religious history is a bit of an odd...
Peace and mercy of Allah be on you……Some people think that religion deprives them of their freedom and place restrictions on them. But Allah the Exalted has said: “…….and (He) has laid no hardship upon you in religion…….” [Holy Quran ch 22:v79].
Thus the religious laws of Islam are given to...
