Hello everyone!
I'll apologise in advance to anyone for the slightest of offence in this post, hurt feelings are not my goal.
I'll start off with a little about myself:
I've been born into a household where the majority are dominantly atheist. My father and two brothers are atheist, while my mother is agnostic. I was agnostic up to around 16 years of age. My school life was typical of an english public school although perhaps not as strong as most at the time where Christian songs were sung in assembly up to Junior school level, but that was the highest level of religious interference I recieved in the schools I attended.
I accepted evolution the more I read about it because it made more sense to me then religion because it was based on evidence and not faith.
So who is this person and why is he on our forum that is obviously a pro-religious website of a particular belief. :coolious:
Well, religions fascinate me. Not from an agnostic view, but from a view by someone who cannot understand how people can have such faith in something that it's body of evidence are scriptures only while evolution is something born from science.
Where everything thesis is checked, rechecked and vigorously pulled figuratively arse backwards through the ropes in attempts to disprove it.
As I said above my goal is not to offend anyone, and I would like to try and avoid debating the contending beliefs between a religious view and an atheists view.
Not because I'm afraid of being swayed by what I believe is true, but because there's countless examples where that kind of topic is usually around 15 pages long with the two different parties using the same arguments. :coolious:
The most prevalent experience the West is recieving about Islam is this 'Jihad', it's understandable as the most horrible things stand out while everything else takes a back row, (Much like the ability to remember horrible memories better than good memories.. simply because they have more of an emotional impact on your life at the time) there's also the statements from Muslims that believe the world needs to be converted to Islam. Ok fair enough, all religions want this to happen with their religion and so it's expected. It's the militancy part that has people worried, the belief that Muslims should convert the world to Island through military force, and again, it makes an impression far more deeper then anything else would.
I'd like to know the views of this of the good people here on this forum.
How do you feel about this?
- Do you agree with a militancy approach or not?
- Do you feel the West is being ignorant and should learn more about your way of life?
- Do I need my faithless behind kicking off the forum preferably with a very large boot?
- And essentially anything else you feel is relevant to the topic.
I have a lot more questions, but this was just a quick one that I thought up while typing this
I look forward to discussing my questions with everyone on this forum!:thumbs_up
(Sorry about the long post.. I tend to edit and re-edit everything I do)
