So am I. But you're in a *Discuss* area and not one of the debate areas on RF. It takes a little getting used to, but you'll get the hang of it.Jonathan Rex said:I'm used to agressive back and forth exchanges.
When you understand what "betrothal" means and the customs at the time, you won't make the mistake of saying ignorant things like this.If Mohammed was perfect then he wouldn't have married a nine year old.
Actually it carries through rather well. But perhaps that's just because I have a certain appreciation for sarcasm that many of my fellows do not. :sarcasticMuch of my tone is sarcasm, which does not carry through on a message board.
Then I suggest you eschew terms like "cult" when referring to other people's religions.The point is, this: When you're constantly attacking another person, this is how it feels.
Though if you'd like to have a one-on-one debate with me about whether my religion is actually a cult, I'd be happy to have a go at it.
No, we just have a woman who tossed her kids off a bridge to save them from demons.The way I talked to you is how it feels to be them when you tell them that their religion is wrong and that they're committing shirk and going to hell. I don't remember the last time a Christian buried a woman up to her chest and threw rocks at her face until she died. It happened in the Middle East last week.
Is there a difference? I can't see it.
On that, we can agree.This nonsense needs to stop. There is no justification for it.
However, like James, I'd caution you that your post that appears to insist everyone limit their religious practice to their home is not justified either, and is not essentially different than those of other religious telling *you* how to live.
Which leaves you in a rather bad position to say much about anyone else's activities.
