Is that your actual purpose here?
I was hoping you came here searching for answers...To clear things up...to discuss with us, things that don't sit right...But instead you came here to put people checkmate?

People have the opportunity to put me in checkmate. I listen. There are many times I have to stop my line of debating as the other person effectively shut it down. I’m here to debate bc I’m passionate about Islam. I’m a passionate debater on a message board of my favorite baseball team. I’m a frequent debater on IG and Yahoo, as I’ve told you.

I also definitely learn things this way. All the time.
All that said, do I enjoy feelings like a win in a debate? Yes.

And I would classify myself as coming here for answers. To understand the differing mindsets from mine. If you mean answers on what Islam teaches, obviously I feel very strongly on my own beliefs. I did not come here to learn Islam, no. However, as mentioned, my mind is never closed to learning new things and considering different viewpoints. That doesn’t mean I’ll accept them though. If nothing else, I’ve added a little entertainment here 🤷🏻‍♂️. Generally speaking, I’m all good vibes and i’d be happy to make some internet Muslim friends. I have no friends irl 😅. I mean, by choice, I’m charismatic:)
I managed businesses and that would fulfill my “social” needs. Then I was a single dad and was big into my son’s travel sports. Message boards and such are what I had time for. When my kid went away to college 4 years ago, as a kind of Muslim I don’t drink and party and stuff. But now that I’m off the hook for that $60k/yr for him, I decided to change to remote work and go shopping for a wife in Morocco or Tunisia. I’m in Tunisia now
 
Also. I realized it’s probably natural to ask, what’s my point? It’s a very damming point. Why should someone wander into a mosque to learn about Islam if they are going to learn something very different than what Mohammed/Companions would teach?
