Instead of lecturing people on orientalism, you need to examine your own doctrines. | ||

Islam is the most adaptable religion I saw, modern day scholars look at everyday news etc and issue new things etc. Dude i fucking hate all of these retards that just fucking ruin my RELIGION!

FUCK FUCK FUCK! your religion ruins itself. go read the koran if you don't want to take my word for it | ||

I hope one day they can see the beautiful truths behind our existence instead of the lies and tyranny of those who oppress them with fear. LOL at the atheists and science-worshippers. Sure, if we eliminate all religion we can get rid of all that's wrong in the world. Oh wait, I forgot that Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Castro, etc. were all devout worshippers of God who didn't massacre innocent members of religious minorities. And certainly the innumerable humanitarian programs fueled by religious belief would certainly continue if everyone came to their senses and became atheist (hint: look at China for this dream state). Let's not forget that Eugenics was a direct result of scientific, not religious, ideas. Let's face it people, looking at history being inhuman is the natural state of humanity, and just because people manipulate religion (along with everything else) to justify their greed, bigotry, or racism doesn't make religion the villain. If anything, religion provides a check to some of these tendencies: without religion Hitler, Mao, etc. could still exist, but Mother Teresa could not. If you're atheist fine, but don't go calling people who differ with your OPINION ignorant misled retards because that's just announcing that you're an ignorant misled retard, and puts you on the same level as that Muslim/Christian/Hindu who right now is calling you an ignorant misled retard. Believe it or not, there is a way to rationally discuss sensitive issues like this without resorting to name calling and displays of your intellectual bigotry. Thank you very much. | ||

Atheism is not an ideology, it is a lack of religious belief and nothing further than that. More profoundly, atheism is not just a lack of religious belief, it actually denies the existence of god actively. But I guess you may have meant that to begin with Sorry to be knitpicking on this ;> | ||

I think I'm entitled to be considered at least a somewhat rational human being. And no, I'm not denying that religion can be bad as well as good. I'm just calling out the idiots who make religion the scapegoat for all that is wrong with the world. My personal opinion on the matter is that the people involved should be tried and punished as criminals. I also think there is something seriously wrong within the Muslim religion that would inspire so many of its adherents to religious violence. | ||

Also "nitpick" is the correct spelling. I cavil far too much for my own good. | ||

Oh ok, you go to school therefore you MUST be rational, and it's ok for you to marginalize the people you disagree with as idiots, its just not ok for them to do it because you disagree with them. I understand now. Thanks for clearing that up. | ||

They're basically saying "You just worship the word for god, but it really means our god." Anyone who doesn't see this as IRL trolling is blind. Violence and bickering over the potential naming conventions of fantasy characters is hilarious. In Malay Language, they call God, Allah. | ||

If it hadn't been for God forcing her to be a good person she'd have gone round dealing drugs to street kids and killing people in drive bys. Seriously? | ||

I wish the DNA of Richard Dawkins/Friedrich Nietzsche could be combined, and create a super-atheist who speech after speech would quote their holy scriptures and rip apart their stupid belief system. | ||
