Awkward comment .
Well, I think you need to educate yourself more about religions. Try to relate it to history, see how it brought about social reforms and cultural development, and then relate it to the contemporary period, observe how it effects the society in all the positive and negative...
I think you are confusing label's definiteness with human's judgments which are necessarily subjective. Someone (say follow the Qura'n literally) think Islam is the religion of peace, whilst another argues that it is not, he did read and study about Islam but he still thinks that the teachings...
The problem is that the extremists are taking control, and they have got the people to think that this is God's law. I'm not trying to argue that this is not the real Islam or anything, because all in all there is no anyway to prove how my views on Islam are necessary more credible than theirs...
My logic took me from point A to B. However, there are other possibilities and by a different logic I could have gone from A to C,D,F..etc. Therefore, I think one shouldn't place so much rigidity on his position, criteria and modes of thinking. Best to treat everything you hold to as being the...
Are the labels ambiguous, or the people subjective ?. Perhaps, both are different sides of the same coin.
Define "get along" ?, Is it like tolerating someone's faith ?
And what should "deeper and more accurate understanding" yield in return, and how is it different from "getting along" ?
Because they threaten them with eternal suffering if they don't cope with the teachings. Perhaps, if they didn't make such a threat, no one would have reverenced them with the same degree.
I think it is like a closed loop, because the day of judgment is going to come whether people stop procreating or not. In the end time scenario the humanity should be brought into extinction by catastrophic events. So again either way you should have the same conclusion :D.
You are just rephrasing my statement :ignore:.
Well, according to them it is something relative in terms your perception of events. This is because of what so-called a grave punishment which follows death and just prior to the day of judgment. For those who fall under this, time runs very...
Don't worry, the moment someone die the day of judgment is brought to him simultaneously, with respect the dead's reference time run so fast that the different between two distant events in reality are almost indistinguishable. I heard it from some Islamic scholars, I'm not really sure about it.

Hey, click on the link
Scroll all the way down to year 2011.
Check the Mathematics category, the winners and for what they were awarded :D.
Good question :yes:.
Well, if I want the public not to confuse my faith/attitudes with the general perception of the main label (Islam). Then, I should use a sub-label (Sunni,shia, sufi etc...) or even if necessary I come up with my own to describe my label.
Again general labels are...
I still think the question is quite general, and simple answer cannot be provided. I think it depends on from which angle you would look at it, for instance if to look at it from a political scope. If a certain regime governed on the basis of a religious teaching, and I was happened to be...
I don't have any problem with the existence of God, creative power behind the universe (Call it whatever you want). My problem is what was his purpose, was it really to test us and evaluate our conduct ?. And how essentially he is going to punish those who fail and reward those who succeed, and...
Yes, I'm interested on the thought from which he established his theory.
Thanks.
Thank you so much :), but I think I'm going to start with Darwin's books.
Well, I spend most of the time alone, maybe it is a general dislike but to me it is a matter of interest. I mean if I sat with a group of people and they started talking about certain belief, concepts, ideas or even started wondering about the purpose of the existence I wouldn't resist and but...
