You once remarked that if you were ever going to convert to a religion, it would be Islam. I LOL'd when I read that.

I honestly don't remember saying that but I might have. Then again I am almost 21 now and have changed quite a bit. Now I just study religion as a hobby. Is there something wrong with studying religion and changing your opinion over time?

I think it's bizarre how Islam went from being your favorite religion from a secular point of view, to your least favorite. That's all

So, the Quran doesnt promote the act of lying, beyond to save your life, but some douches interpertation does (*cough* Pat Robertson)?
Poor religous leaders drag down religons. PERIOD. Pat Robertson, Jerry Fallwell, Iman Al-Zarwahiri, blame the leaders, not the religon.

You're not defending religion, you're simply using your ability of logic and reason.

Of course you can question but you have to realize that a lot of Muslims do follow everything a scholar says and the way he interprets the Quran.

Actually Zahid made me hate Islam and that was his purpose too or at least that's what he said. That piece of shit was a troll who posted bullshit about Islam and then at the end said it was some sociology class experiment, lol. That is when I decided to do some research on Islam.

I completely agree with you man. We really should monitor what is being said in Mosques by the religious leaders and by the scholars. We also need to do something about Saudi Arabia which pumping out radical Muslims with our money.
We also should bring more Muslims into the US and assimilate them. There are actually Muslims that have to leave their home countries because of death threats. A lot of scholars that have different views on Islam are hated by the fundamentalists.

Then why don't you question yourself - consider the very real probability that this douchebag doesn't know what the fuck he's talking about. You seem to think that "Islamic scholars" are free from err, which is why you're refErring me to some douchebag that I've never heard of.

Yes, but it doesn't matter what I think. What I think won't change the fact that Muslims are believing that bullshit.

Well, here's a lesson for you on religion. You can basically find a scholar to support virtually anything, from gay meth sex and drunken swingers parties to flying planes into buildings and pushing one's own mother down the stairs. Fortunately there's a common sense threshold among the majority of followers of any religion, which is why they mostly work 9-5 jobs, and on Fridays ask God for forgiveness because they refused to donate a dollar for cancer research at McDonald's or something. Radical Islamist scholars do not precede Islam. They are merely the clockwork grease of something engineered long ago by moral loners.

Yea, I already said all of that in previous posts in either this thread or another.

I hate you.
Well, not exactly. I had to study religion in 9th grade. We had to study mythology and read the Bible and analyze it. And this wasn't a catholic school, this was a private college prep high school. So I kinda wanted to learn more about other religions since that class.

Ok, that's enough. If you want to continue talking about Ziddy, do it in OTD.

Actually there was nothing spiritual about that class and learning about religion. It was completely secular and almost everyone in the class came to the conclusion that most of the Bible is exagurrated.
