Funny how nothing that happens make the religious doubt their devotion.

Paigntonian, I’ve known Christians to lose their faith because of what life’s thrown at them. You can believe as you like - but you’ve no business trying to silence people who don’t agree with you.

[davebro]

You'd think if Allah approved of breeding and funding terrorism he would turn Pakistan into a paradise on earth - virgins and all.

[naomi24]

TTT, you’re wrong and so is AH. They never doubt. They expect to be tested. That’s how they explain every hardship that befalls them throughout life. There is no question of them doubting - not for a moment - ever.

[Zacs-Master]

And do you think they come to this conclusion via their own free will, Naomi?

[fender62]

thye should be asking why governments past and present invested the countries wealth in nuclear weapons, do they think thye were guided by allah, i imagine thye would be better off if they never invested in them, instead build infrastructure and social programs to better the population as a whole, the blasphemy law is another that holds them back for western investment, let alone stonings honor killings to name a few. there religious fervency does them not favours in the 21 century in becoming first world.

[Paigntonian]

Why do people, like you Tora, on this site go on and on about religion? If it's not your thing it's fine. If it's your thing, fine. Why do athiests feel the need to knock people who are religious. I don't criticise athiests every day; what's the point? So give people some respect.

[naomi24]

Paigntonian, everyone is entitled to an opinion. You can’t silence people just because you don’t like what they say.

[fender62]

Paigntonian, honest question and no offence, but do you think islam or
buddhism hinduism are following the correct deities, or do you think jesus and christianity is the true way to god. if it's the latter are the other religions and its followers going to hell or wont get resurrected.

[FatticusInch]

Lol, funny how some ridicule religion as a con trick and others have friends who’ve lost or questioned their faith in Christianity…….yet continue to pray at the altar of Johnson for the Second Coming!
Go Zealots! PMSL

[anneasquith]

Sorry, Pakistan .

[Atheist]

What's flooding got to do with Allah? It's more to do with anti-green climate-change-deniers. If you don't want to help people in trouble, then just say so; don't blame some foreign god.

[jno]

lol, Fatticus, it did occur to me that this mean-minded post might be better placed in Politics.

// If you don't want to help people in trouble, then just say so;//

I don't want to help THESE people in trouble 'cos I know 100% that they (or their gov) wouldn't help me in a crisis.

[Atheist]

Davebro. 18:02. If you saw a child fall into a river, would you immediately jump in to help or would you first wonder if the child had anything to give to you? Most humans have an inbuilt instinct to help other humans. Most humans have an inbult instinct to look after number one. It's your choice. I know who I would choose as a pal.

[davebro]

Jumping into water to save a child / adult / dog whatever, in many cases the "rescuer" dies & the victim survives. Go figure "pal".

"You can’t silence people just because you don’t like what they say"

May I draw your attention to the moderator thread and the recent message from head office?

naomi - // TTT, you’re wrong and so is AH. They never doubt. They expect to be tested. That’s how they explain every hardship that befalls them throughout life. There is no question of them doubting - not for a moment - ever. //

In matters Islamic, you have considerable knowledge.

But that does not mean that you can offer your opinion, which this is, as fact ,which it is not.

You cannot state with any degree of certainty that ever single Muslim on the planet has no inking of a crisis of faith.

Apart from that the fact that such a statement is unverifiable, it flies in the face of human nature - because everyone has doubts, however devout they may be, because that is how humans work, religious or not.

Therefore I believe you can offer an opinion that the majority of Muslims see a crisis as a test of their faith, and I would agree with you.

But I don't believe you can offer as a fact that all Muslims view their faith in exactly the same way.

Clearly they do not - if they all believed as the extremists who hide beneath their faith as an excuse to murder and maim people, Western civilisation would no longer exist.

The fact that I am sitting here typing this is proof, if any were needed, that all Muslims do not think the same way.

I'm quite altruistic really - but of course you don't know me.
