Greetings,
Do you think that calling me "VERY STUPID" is a good way to encourage me to read the Qur'an and convert to your way of thinking?
Peace
Greetings Callum,
I apologise on behalf of my muslim brothers and sisters. May Allah (subhana wa ta'ala) forgive us for our errors. Nonetheless i hope this thread can progress with good manners. I ranted a few posts back and if such appauling behaviour is displayed again then sadly this thread will have to be closed.
This is only sad for you, don't show me no pity my friend for I may show pity to you and I don't pity you. people with faith live longer and are happier on average than those without faith.
Greetings root,
When one gets into the habit of pitying others they fall into the trap of elavating their statues. They then build an arrogant characteristics which is certainly discouraged in Islam.
I feel my mind is free of the restrictions that in essence forbid you from seeking answers beyond what you are being told. It seems religion seems to seek scientific confirmation of it's belief and the scientific data just does not support your faith based position, of course science does not seek any form of religous confirmation........
I will have to disagree on you there. I am not restricted in my questioning, rather the contrary. Science does not abolish religion but aids it in majority of the cases. However, an element of faith is required for a believer and the same for one who relies on scientific teachings. You have placed faith on the idea of Evolution yet suddenly god to you seems a ridicilous concept. It both puzzles me and intrigues me.
Islam does not seek scientific confirmation of its belief. Sometimes scientific data just supports Islam but that is of little difference to me as a Muslim. Those Muslims who continuously need scientific data to assure them about Islam may be weak at imaan.
You seem to see the world as being right or wrong, black or white and that is far from the case root. You can't state that science and religion are in contraction to one another when that is merely an inaccurate assumption.
Furthermore, Science is based on theory, anyone can verify this so using it as factual evidence is rather dangerous. If Islam to you is just simply a theory then way is it you reject one theory but not that of science?
Why is it so hard that perhaps there is a more powerful deity? or is it simply because you don't want to be 'restricted' so you choose to dismiss the idea of religion regardless of whether it may be the truth or not?
Why is it that overall those who have faith are happier? There is a purpose for everything....find me something that has no purpose. Yet somehow us humans think we are so clever (which is far from the reality) that us being created is a no.
