    I just read the latest response from the other thread - it reminds me of reddit arguments of muslim trolls who haunt /r/exmuslim

    I rest my case.


    I'd appreciate it if you could post some links to those discussions.

    Punishment for who? If anything the man is punishing himself. We need a more objective test for this.


    Withholding affection is a punishment. Children do not develop properly without affection and spouses cannot maintain an emotional connection without it.
    There is no difference between men and women regarding this. Both genders are human.

    Ted - watch this video I made about 8 years ago - and tell me what you think?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxVHxhDpB4A



    Have you considered that the "punishments" are simply indicators for showing how much the husband is upset/angry with the wife? The wife would know that the beating is the last punishment to which would mean that the husband has reached the limit. After that it would be separation and then divorce.

    I agree, beating a wife is not really going to change them if they won't listen. Sometimes you just have to part ways. I still think not sharing beds is more of a punishment for the man rather than the wife which makes sense that the three punishments mentioned are more symbolic rather than things done to properly hurt the wife.

    Thanks for making me think through this. It makes more sense to me now. Plus you forget the verse about Job's wife. He was ordered to beat his wife with grass. If God really intended the husband to violently beat the wife he would have prescribed the same punishment to Job's wife. And I personally believe Job's wife said something really bad about God yet God did not get angry with her.

    You also need to bear in mind that it's not compulsory to follow these verses about punishing the wife. God never says that if you don't follow this command then you're going to be punished with hellfire or that it's a sin. It's simply given as advice. The vast majority of Muslims I know are scared of their wives. The bad ones are always going to be bad regardless of whether they are Muslims or not.

    Is this really a bad punishment? I use this with my kids. I don't talk to them or take them out and I find it's quite good although I'm the one who get's bored the quickest.

    And I totally agree with you. The Bible says the same thing and I'm told to believe that the Quran is a confirmation of the Bible.

    Now this is where things get strange for me. Where I have to keep doing reality checks. As I said before I'm a believer in geocentrism. I wasn't always like and firmly believed that the earth orbited the Sun. However as I have learnt over the years it's not that simple. Something is not quite right (most likely it's with me). But for me there is strong evidence that the sun orbits the earth. I can't prove it yet but I really do believe that science will show that geocentrism is true. However this won't do much to convince the vast majority of non-believers.

    For now I'd like to stay away from the topic of geocentrism.

    So no, I don't find those verses to be a flaw.

    Why would you need a beating as an indication when you have three months of Iddah?

    Please cite where I have said such a thing. I in fact said the opposite. To confirm we should never stop with scientific investigations. We should always keep and open minded and thoroughly exhaust the research as much as we can.

    3 months is a long time and is much more serious. It may cause major disruptions. The 3 punishments mentioned would cause much less disruption yet are significant enough to be noticed.

    I think you will find it is a blind assumption. You've not been to cite an experiment where I can get some sand/dust together and see it come together to form a bigger mass which is then capable of attracting more dust/sand.


    I think you will find I gave you three examples of experiments you could do, one being to take your sand and rock outside earth's gravity, the second being to throw your rocks and sand in the air and watch them fall to the ground demonstrating that the gravity being exerted on them by the planet is larger than the gravity they exert on each other, and the third being to do a similar experiment with a magnet and some metal shavings because magnetism is stronger than gravity.

    Quote from: CallMeTed on August 09, 2015, 02:44 PM
    You are now saying I need an environment of zero-gravity to do this, I assume. Which then means you can't do this experiment on earth. Which then confirms it is blind assumption.


    Do you doubt the existence of human space programs?

    Quote from: CallMeTed on August 09, 2015, 02:44 PM

    The stars that astronomers say are forming in clouds of dust - are they forming in an environment of zero-gravity? Think carefully about this.


    It's not zero gravity, because the dust has its own gravity; but it's not a very large amount of gravity because the mass of the dust is very small. So that's why it takes such a very long time for the stars to form out of that cloud. If the cloud of dust was  in the gravitational pull of a large object like an existing star or planet, it wouldn't be able to form into a star or planet, it would fall into the orbit or heart of the star or planet.

    One of the most obvious evidence of God is the scientific fact that life cannot be created by humans from scratch, from atoms and molecules. Numerous scientific experiments have been done are being done and have been planned to create life from scratch.

    Argument from ignorance and giving up at an arbitrary point only put forward by you thus is subjective. You argument implies something completely different than the comment this is a reply to. So you are contradicting yourself.

    The message is simple and it's a confirmation of the Bible.


    LOL that's hilarious. Only a person who doesn't really know the Bible AND doesn't really know the Quran could say that. Want proof? Post a passage of the Bible, and a passage of the Quran that confirms it. I'll wait.

    Also, even if the contents were not mutually exclusive, it wouldn't be too surprising if two books had similar messages if the second book is written by people who may have owned or read copies of the first book. That's called "plagiarism."

    The first experiment. What do you mean by "take your sand and rock outside earth's gravity". Can this be done? If so how?

    The second one is just a demonstration of the effects of gravity of the earth. What I asked for was experiments to show that dust/sand naturally clump together to form bigger masses which in turn attract more mass.

    The third experiment is not valid as magnetism is not the same as gravity.

    The cloud of dust in which stars form, you do realise that they are in a gravitational field don't you?

    You stated that a beating would be a sort of indication that there was a serious issue and that separation would be pending. Yet this is what the Iddah is for, so the beating is not about that. The instructions in Surah an Nisaa are for forcing a wife to obey her husband, not the steps leading to talaq.
    I assure you that an assault is more traumatic than an Iddah.
