very ignorant post ser

all religions are built off of lies imo. and all of the big religions texts are insane and abusive if taken verbatim

but almost everyone i hold dear is religious, including muslim. mostly catholic tho
I read a book by a Harvard guy, basically everywhere Islam has spread it has regressed the societies present to an extreme degree. The arab world used to be the seat of science and learning.

I can’t remember the name of the author, or the book, or if it was even true.

but I remember the rest

It's not cool for gay people anywhere in the Middle East though, is it.

No, you know people who are culturally Muslim, and who pick and choose which aspects of their faith to ignore.

Islam and progressivism are not compatible. There is simply no way to square the circle - they are fundamentally at odds. The whole point of Islam is that its tenets cannot ever be reformed.

I thought the statement was that someone who kowtows to Islam can’t be considered a true progressive.
It was.

And someone who identifies as both a Muslim and a progressive is kidding themselves, and needs to be honest about the disconnect and ditch the lip service to the religion. Sorry man. But that's just the truth.

It's not MY definition of Islam though. Is it.

It's theirs.

And that's the problem.

Islam is an organized religion. This would be like if I said I was religiously Jewish not just ethnically but I still eat pork because it’s my version of Judaism. That’s not how it works.

But that makes everyone feel better.
For the record, it's great to be secular and get the best of both worlds. Thanks for being a good לערער

It's like claiming to be religiously Christian, but you don't believe that Jesus ever existed as a real man, and you don't believe in heaven or hell either.

But you're still a Christian..... really.

Well actually....... no you're not.

Yes.

I suppose you could try to argue that the Bible says nothing about abortion, so therefore you're not defying God's law.

But realistically, yes it is the same. They want to claim both.

im taking a break. hope yall feel better

good luck
Hey man, we're not hating on you.

Just that....... at a certain point, if you ignore a religion's doctrines, then you're not a member of that religion any more.

And Islam is FAR more strict and FAR more explicit with its doctrines than Christianity is Judaism, both of which have a million different interpretations for various reasons.

Islam only has one Koran, it is the same now as it was in Muhammed's time, and not one word of it can ever be changed or amended. Ever. That's pretty much the whole point of it, in fact.

If you're a Muslim but you think that someone who turns his back on Islam in fact should not be killed for that........ then you are directly defying the Koran's explicit instructions and saying that morally, you know better than Allah and Muhammed. And what is the punishment for such blasphemy, as laid down by Allah and Muhammed?

It's not a punishment that anyone living in a Western democracy in the 21st Century can even begin to accept and find legitimate or morally acceptable, is it.

‘Traitor!’ Mike Pence booed in Florida while addressing Christian crowd
Scattered boos greeted former Vice President Mike Pence in Central Florida as he stood behind a lectern to address a coalition of Christian and conservative voters.

Someone yelled, “Traitor!” as Pence began to speak. Security quickly cleared the room of the people who shouted him down.
