Why I don't accept Christian or Muslim Faith
- Thread starter The Hammer
- Start date
Nope, I agree that's more or less my reasoning too. That, and those are some pretty wack Gods yo.
But I couldn't figure out how else to flip the "reasons I don't agree with Baha'i faith" thread.
My biggest actual gripe with Christianity is the hypocrisy, and claiming only One god as True. When they All are.
I don't feel called to him, either.
I'm also unable to put him to any elevated status as sometimes seems expected in this culture. I see him as just one of many...
Basically, and I even tried, given it's the majority opinion Culturally. Just felt wrong. As wrong as trying to be atheist felt.
I get why Satan sees Allah (swt) as a Jinn that possesses the Prophets (a).
I just don't get why humans choose Satan over Allah (swt) and deny the Living Being that created all things and how they can equate others with the ultimate one.
Allah (swt) is with all things. I suppose Jinn occupy space of a lot of minds of people and that some people worship them ignorantly and equate them with God when in fact they are enemies to the soul of that person and lead them astray . They are no where on par with Allah (swt), in fact, they are not even on par with the exalted souls of Prophets (a) and close Angels (a).
Soothsaying religions are old and ancient. So is Allah (swt) and the truth his representatives come with.

"He, Allah, is One. Allah is He on Whom all depend. He begets not, nor is He begotten; And none is like Him".
I see this as saying Allah is uncreated, and of/in All things.
So, to me, this equates Allah with Magick in my view. The power that permeates the Universe.

Well..... I don't think it's that simple.
Just hypothetically, if I'm making rules for my child, for example, my teenage child. And I'm going out of town, and they're staying home alone, I might make some rules for them and tell them NOT to do some things they would have never thought of on their own.
When I do that I am creating something in the form of a negation. It's still part of me and my imagination, but it's not something I want to happen, it's something I don't want to happen.
It's like that. Just because it's all the same source, and ultimately the same essence, that doesn't mean it has the same intention. All is one, doesn't mean all is good.
I don't disagree completely with the last bit, which is why I'm Polytheistic. But I also wouldn't tell my teenager what I "don't" expect them to do, I'd only instill in them what they should be doing. If the opposite occurs, then a discussion will ensue after the fact.

... if you find out. The tricky thing is, if there is something that happens there is sometimes "I didn't know I wasn't supposed to..." or "why didn't you warn me not to do that???"
both of those have happened here.
I could tell a story right now, but, I'd better not.
"Congratulations on being blessed with more responsibility, but sometimes the best lessons come from experience, not knowledge. "
Yeah, I tried the same. For awhile, never understood there were any other options than "believe in this god, or none at all".
Why trust in Allah?

Personally, I have no problems with them.
Any of the versions of them.
It is their followers that I can't stand.
I think Mahatma Ghandi may have had similar sentiments. But don't quote me.
Yup, sounds familiar. And even at the times I knew. I was repeatedly told how wrong it was, or how I was damned some way or another.
I don't personally see any particular reason to be part of any religion. If it helps someone be a better human being (and it does for some), great. I focus on the great ones from every religious tradition include the Baal Shem Tov, St. Francis of Assisi, Rumi, Hafiz, Ramakrishna Paramhamsa and Milarepa to name a few.
You don't like the letters y h w a l? Or is it because of the order of the letters?
Why I don't accept Christian or Muslim Faith
For me is started out with my upset and loathing of the Christian attitude of condemning difference. Then i read the bible.
