    Why has the status of women become so important in our age?

    Religion grew out of ignorance and that is where they remain. Religions shape our worldview and by mere nature of being old and following scholastic learning tend to codify bad ideas that get echoed throughout the generation to come.

    If God exists can evil also exist?

    Why on earth are people still stuck up on am omnibenevolent god being the the ultimate definition of the thing in itself. What has omnibenevolence got to do with anything? That is a seemingly impossible concept to have since it would mean a special prioritization over other things then there...

    A question about belief.

    This has already happened before thousands of years ago. Codifying one's religion is a very new concept in terms of religious tradition but nonetheless even if one codifies it there is the fact that just like the Bible it can create an assurance of multiple completely differing religions with...

    Jordan Peterson on White Privilege

    Any privilege is a thing, everybody holds a racial bias amongst others. As an African man though I tend to do very well amongst any race especially Asians and Europeans by far but then again I am not an ignorant fool with a limited world view. I have no reason to believe being white makes you...

    Why is religion correlated with birthplace and birth time?

    That is roughly what I was alluding to before, there is a strong immaturity and devaluation of religions when treated naively. It isnt that their core essense is equal but that all religions survive out of benefit to a society whatever it may be. Perennial outlooks think religions are truly the...

    Funny because I feel as if I am the only Abrahamic who needs to fight against this word monotheism because it does not actually define what we are talking about because even Tawhid in Islam is just referencing the unification or oneness in a verbal sense. I don't think any religion until much...

    Do you DARE QUESTION GOD????

    Happens all the time. I dont agree with anything any religion has to offer in its orthodox form.

    More so in the Qur'an, when we say monotheism in terms of the word tawhid it is a big overstatement because with the constant addition of intercession and emphasis on uniqueness it leaves to raise not just dubious claims but very implicit ones. The Qur'an makes the argument there can't be 2 gods...

    Can right wing conservatives be socialists in America

    I hold a strong interest in third-way economic theories and especially distributist theory hence I favor a strong but detached government from our lives that enforces very little but at the same time permits markets and reduces some primary aspects about capitalism such as non physical or...

    When would you NOT vote for Trump?

    You should be directing this at Republicans more so than conservatives as there is no conservative with a capital "C." US Republicans do not represent conservative values in an ideological sense nor do they represent it in practice yet alone in any coherent ideology, they just gather the masses...

    Problems vs. Solutions and criticizing (e.g.), BLM

    I despised BLM and all such movements without cause or objectivity and lead to mob rule. I also do not support the ethics or the base cause of BLM either which is shallow, vague and misleading and to some degree a flat out lie. Not all Africans want to see whites succumb to the tyranny we...

    Why is religion correlated with birthplace and birth time?

    There is no basis but it is apart of the Perennial conception that for unified ethical or philosophical purposes one should seek to reconcile or get at the basis of religion as a unified element. I adhere to this view strongly but I do not believe in unifying the religions in practice or dogma...

    I want to explain my religion

    All religion is personal and nobody's interpretation matches another. I am perhaps not even a Shi'ite Muslim in the classical sense because I accept the hulul or incarnation of Allah swt in the bodies of the prophets, angel or jinn. I accept this for so many scriptural and logical reasons but if...

    You are aware I have read the Bible multiple times and grew up with a Christian family and proceeded to study the ever living crap out of the Abrahamic lineage including the gnostics? I am just saying

    Rituals Ease Anxiety

    This explains why I feel good about myself every time I finish Salat al-Fajr then.

    Don't really understand Sufism

    I know this post is old but I just wish to add this on record. Tassawuf'iyya otherwise known as Sufism is best described as a localized dump for all current creeds of Islam today. Shia Islam which I for the most part ascribe to has its own mystical direction for the most part and Sufism is...

    Gay Christian

    I am Muslim and have no problems coming home to by boyfriend. II used to hold guilt about my feelings when I was a little boy but by the time I was in my teen years I knew exactly what I liked. Despite being a Muslim even I did not hold much guilt concerning it and I can't say I am dismissing a...

    How Do You know You Are Not In A Cult?

    I am the final authority of what religion I believe in or accept as truthful. Ultimately it is me who interprets it and makes the decision to partake in whatever aspects I agree about it. You can call me syncretic in how I interpret my religion or you can call me honest in that I philosophically...

    I am more than aware as I had just said that. Christianity itself is a result of Jews differing in opinion to the point Jesus became a controversial and divisive figure. That division is what we call Christianity, essentially the religion that denies Hebrew ethnocentrism and accepts divine...
