Okay, I read your post again.......I didn't catch anything new. How is reading your post again going to change my accusation about your previous post? You accused her of leaving Islam purely on the basis of emotional reasons while you failed to recognize the fact that it was her analytical approach that made it happen.
She left mainly because she mistakenly thought that her family was going to Hell for instance. That is emotional.
Okay, so lets talk. What exact contents of the Quran are the things you're so logically convinced of? Most of us here took a different route after proper investigation, but obviously you disagree. So I'd like to know--what are the things you're fully convinced of?
That is off topic.
Oh? Which shorts are decent Saleem?
I would say shorts that do not stick, if you know what I mean, and are long enough to reach the knees for instance.
With all due respect Saleem, that really is a load of crap. I don't mean any disrespect to you, but that really shows me that you have been led to believe that Islam is the "most liberating religion there is."
I respect your disagreement and I disagree with. I was not led by anyone to believe any particular thing. That is based solely on my own study.
Most of our female Murtads here would disagree with you on that point.
That is a logical fallacy called argument from authority. For instance most of our female converts would disagree with you on that point.
Is he still merciful when he threatens all non-Muslims to burn in hell forever if they don't believe?
Not all non-Muslims will go to Hell forever. Only those that rejected the truth.
But what I'm saying is that good parents deserve respect--bad parents do not. Any parent that constantly threatens a child of torture to keep them in line is surely a malicious parent. But you'll find that it's the same tactic Allah uses to keep Muslims in line--by injecting fear. For what though? All so that he can be worshiped. Thats desperation.
When parents punish their children for wrongdoing then that is not malicious. That's for their goodness. Fair and square.
We Muslims are not kept in line because of fear. Many atheists think we worship God because of the joys of Paradise, or because we want to avoid eternal Hell. That is not true. Even if there were no Paradise or Hell, I would still be 100% Muslim, because God is my Creator and therefore is worthy of full obedience and worship. Paradise and Hell come after that. Paradise for the good, and Hell for the wicked.
