Since i stopped discussion or debate of religious topics, i can clearly see how toxic RF has become for religious and spiritual people.
No chance in hell i going back to those discussions
It becomes toxic when the discussion becomes about winning the opponent rather than to think and learn with each other. Unfortunately most discussions turn that way. I learned overtime, when to discontinue a discussion.
There is an interesting Hadith
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “I guarantee a house on the outskirts of Paradise, a house in the middle of Paradise, and a house in the highest part of Paradise for one who gives up arguing even if he is right, who gives up lying even while joking, and who makes his character excellent.”
"...must cling unto patience and resignation, observe silence, and refrain from idle talk. For the tongue is a smoldering fire, and excess of speech a deadly poison. Material fire consumeth the body, whereas the fire of the tongue devoureth both heart and soul. The force of the former lasteth but for a time, whilst the effects of the latter endure a century."
Bahaullah
