You have lied and are guilty, deserve to die, and need to be justified to live. You cannot justify yourself.
What have I lied?
You lost your innocence of infancy and you know you are guilty.
I'm guilty of having gathered experience of life? I don't understand. If I was meant to lose the innocence of infancy, how am I guilty?
none of us deserves one more heartbeat or breath of air from God, all of us deserve to burn in Hell
Why are we born then?
it's only God's mercy which has kept us out of the fire.
God's mercy keeps us safe from terrorism, from natural disasters, from terminal diseases? If all of us are sinners, how come a part of the population is subject to the wrath of God here on Earth? How come infants die early deaths? How come people for no fault of theirs are born into poverty and hunger?
I don't have to prove anything. If I did have to prove anything to you,
What are you trying to do then?
You think you are making God go away by saying He is not there,
Why? Tell me why I'd wanna make God away by saying he isn't there unless I believed he isn't there.
you think you have the right to exist outside of Hell based on the fact that you now exist outside of Hell.
No... I do not think that.
the prison of Hell awaits you are not pardoned by God, and Jesus Christ will be your Judge...
Is it a different punishment in case I'm Buddhist or Hindu or Muslim? Or you're implying Christ alone is the redeemer?
Rationalization is subjective
And your belief that Christ is the saviour is the only Truth?
You are a sinner who needs to be saved from Hell
I can't wait for hell until death, I think I'm and most of us are really battling it here right now.
It is almost fundamental for Islam to be militant in its execution of practice and its law in order to exist. Having said that, It is also necessary (defenses) for every religion to practice violence in order to protect and secure. The religious battles in history have been more about protection by/ of identity rather than mere communal tensions. The greatest disaster religion has caused is to create the pledge or even bond of identity that constitutes a religious person's course. Islam by all means is inherently a religion that advocates violent measures to attain religious goals.
The lie you have been fed is to believe you have the right to exist outside of Hell as a sinner
A lie is something that is told. Not a realization. That God doesn't exist is not a lie that is fed but common sense or rationalization.
Only God is self-justified.
How is God self-justified? I exist, you exist. That is self-justified. Are you telling me, something you do not see, or have read about in million different books, of different languages, cultures all claiming authority over the power of God is self justified?
You really think that eliminating God from the thoughts of mankind will bring peace and harmony to the world?
What has the presence of God in the thoughts of mankind brought?
Do you know what Communism is?
Not Atheism. A political system based on power dynamics.
It's the fruit of your silly belief in the goodness of human hearts.
It is the result of faulty tyrannical structures. And it exists in every ideological or religious platform. Your advocacy for religion or God hasn't proven otherwise either.
It is. We kill ants, sheep, goats, pigs, cows, snakes, lizards, tigers, other wild and domesticated animals. And then we also 'kill' plants and forests to make way, build housing areas, new cities and "zoos". We kill everything except each other. Oh no, wait... We also kill babies when they are still in the womb; kill babies based on their gender and sacrifice them to Gods. We kill each other in wars or genocides or gender crimes. Not only is killing part of us but so is hypocrisy!
It is very off putting when you hear a woman swear.
But perfectly alright if a man does so.
They are docile and intelligent animals
Men are aggressive, stubborn and unintelligent animals?
their lips should not be sullied with such dirty language.
Yes? Cuz their lips are forever vulnerable, meant only to be kissed and answered when addressed to...
I don't see how women's oppression is not sexist. It may be fairly sided but most definitely is a voice against sexism. Feminism on the other hand is a subject of gender studies where the construct of the ideal male or masculinities is well dealt with as well. For it you have similar voices...
A voice for the weak is much more in need, I'm sorry if I sound biased, but believe me I am not. The weak include women, children, eunuchs or gay or lesbian relationships. Of you notice "the rights" you're being highly critical about are sociological issues that demand attention.
What is sexism? And what by feminism do you understand? It's an ideology. To call feminism extremism is like to say all muslims are terrorists. (Which I hope you are not a believer of.) Feminism is a fight against sexism, against unfair treatment of women. If you believe that this is not a social issue. I must confess you are not only ignorant but also insensitive. Because there are several aspects that you are ignoring.
Of course...
If your are extremely positive, you are blind, you will miss the end of the cliff assuming the path still moves on. To be cynical, to question is important.
That does not mean, you throw away optimism. Optimism is essential, just in boundaries.
I think being good or bad are high social constructs. There is no good or bad. There is only self and the others. Every act of ours is for the benefit of ourselves or to serve the 'conscience,' which is again for self satisfaction- high social construct.
Its the survival of the fittest. Not survival of the best man alive.
If a being is X, how can it be anything other than itself?
Unless he is taught to behave otherwise. Unless codes of society or rules are embedded in his mind. One may be born one way but learns to act the other; leading to confusion no doubt, but would remain no more what he was.
Although genes play a primary role in making of a man, it develops upon 'learning'. First thought and then behaviour. What a man is intrinsically cannot be challenged with what he could be made. It is often what a man is and 'how' he is made or directed upon. But I believe a major proportion of the making of a man or of any such debated issues, be it personality or IQ depends on the setup that gives one enough opportunities to celebrate and work on self.
However, when one's natural element is itself highly flawed and leaves no scope of further development, nature's role in comparision otherwise starts to fade off.
While with things such as the IQ, one's competitive nature cannot help; he or she must be 'blessed' with enough gray matter. FOr a person's physical attributes, such as height, genes play a bigger role. But in the making of one's personality it can be nothing more than the environment he or she is brought up in.
You say, without paying regard to the bible stories. What stories? If you want to remain a Christian, what part of christianity do you still want to stick to? Which are the parts you think must be disposed?
If you choose to ignore certain aspects, adopt the others and stay christian, I think you would just be repeating history.
You believe Earth is not flat. Aren't you a Christian? Middle ages, you would be in a cell. But now, you are.
So yup! You choose what you want to be. We all do in a way.
I dunno if I could say Christians are all hypocrites. I mean of course not. But, it takes spirit to see through the opaque that something is wrong. To rebel against the majority. I'm sure when you say you hate Christians, you don't throw stones at all of them.
NO... Its not "legal" the way you put! Have you actually read the QURAN? Ur argument is based on the internet sources that can be misleading. Islam may be a little out of modernity, but it is a widely followed religion, it can't be that stupid. You have to be dumb to even believe that!
