Ex-Muslim lady tears apart western liberal attitude towards Islam

people put their own values on their religion, not vice versa

Oh yeah, the Reza Aslan argument, one of the most desperate Islam appologists... Can't believe I missed that one, so good job sneaking it in.

I'm not even gonna bother with it, i just found it hilarious that you used it.

No, all have not read all the Quran, which is why I said I was cherry picking.

Well how about you actually read it, read parts of the Hadiths and read the Bible before making assumptions and having opinions.

The Crusades were a reaction to Muslim conquests. Kind of disingenuous from you to call 'what about the Crusades' (particularly since you boast about knowing history) conveniently forgetting what happened before them. Since the arabs initially occupied the land, that's like calling France the invader of Germany in WW2 for pushing back their borders.

If Christianity is so peaceful ideologically, how come it is so stained with blood?

Because of human nature? And since we know the cruelty of human nature, do we really want to add a Divine Ideology that encourages and justifies it? Do you even logic?

Wait what? Are you some kind of wizard? I didn't know about the source thing although i remember i've seen the button before.

The embarassing thing is that i can't find it now (and i m on desktop chrome/firefox) and i see below comments:

Have you read all the Quran? Do you know about the Hadiths? Have you read the Bible?

There's literally one verse in NT, the one in Luke (which interestingly enough is under the chapter "Peter will deny Jesus" that is represented in all four Gospels and 3 of them lack that verse) that is very debatable (since immediately after that there's ""Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword." Matthew 26:52 ), while in Islam there are dozens of direct referrals to executions, rapes, slavery, objectification of women, chopping limbs etc, while Mohammed, during his lifetime did, ordered and supported some very horrid stuff (check Hadiths)

And you're comparing Christianity to Islam? Really?

And by the way, the other verse about sword is about confrontations inside the family, because Jesus must be closer to one than their family. It's specific.

Saudi Arabia's justice system is, comparatively speaking, very similar to that of ISIS.

I wouldn't be to mad at the kid. He is just a kid.

What a pathetic excuse. Holding someone to such low standards only hurts him/others more.

He's fucking 14, not 7.

Also, he had all his family that could've stopped this nonsense if they wanted to. But they wanted the opposite.

edit: you're right though, we should be actually pissed at his family and the people buying this hoax, not at him necessarily.

People don't realize how easy in general it is to manipulate others, sadly. Especially teenagers or any people under 25 yo (when the prefrontal cortex matures). Obviously this is not set in stone, people can be manipulated at any age, but the ones most at risk are younger people.

It's not something necessarily tied to IQ either, although that probably is a protective factor, and so is general life experience and proper life models. Most manipulation is emotional.

People also don't realize how unbelievably incredibly powerful people on the antisocial spectrum can be at manipulating. And how incredibly exposed and vulnerable to manipulation we all are, as humans.

This is not only about ISIS, this is from ISIS to your random visit at the shopping mall.

But pair that vulnerability to the general attitude of censorship on islam under the guise of islamophobia or other terms and people literally have no chance to protect themselves. Very few are fortunate to be exposed. Most probably swallow all-religions-are-the-same hook line and sinker because they can't know any better... because Islam apologists make sure to silence opposition.

So much to learn from previous generations and so little time!

Obligatory question mark?

Sorry to burst your bubble, ideologically Christianity is peaceful, Islam isn't.

Did you even fucking read the Quran? Do you even know about the Hadiths? Did you fucking read at least parts of Bukhari?

Apologism ftw.

The problem was it was more difficult to format, since I don't have access to your edit window... and I also wanted your consent.

On a personal note, masturbation seems to make me shed like crazy. I've also masturbated like a fiend since 15 or 18 yo (going even 5-6 times/day), can't even remember (im 28 now). It was usually linked with stress/sadness/loneliness/boredom. But first and foremost, it was stress.

Also, scalp becomes really greasy and flaky.

I'd suggest you check nofap. There are also multiple threads on this, like this one: https://www.reddit.com/r/NoFap/comments/3px1c1/baldness_and_fappinggtfih/

I know it's kind of taboo to even imply some degree of causation between masturbation and hair loss, but connecting the dots always gets me in the same place. Ironically, asking such questions on hairlosstalk, the biggest forum on hairloss, always makes users extremely defensive to the point of refusing to answer, just calling the idea "stupid".

You should aim for 0-2 sessions/month, not 2/day.

I used minoxidil some years ago, it worked but it was expensive, difficult to use and made my heart palpitate. Shampoos didn't seem to make that much of a difference. Tried propecia once (1 pill) and freaked out. Never used it after.

Best of luck to you. I'd suggest researching online on psychology behind masturbation and MOST IMPORTANTLY make an appointment to a psychologist. It's something deeper that's triggering it. You probably have other coping mechanisms too.

Simplu, din cauza lanțului de cauzalitate.

Lantul de cauzalitate este specific procesului de inductie despre care am tot scris mai devreme, caruia i-am subliniat lipsurile dar tu tot ignori.

Cunoasterea inductiva si deductiva sunt procese fundamental opuse, iar cea mai mare parte a rationamentului ateist (si a felului stiintific de a cunoaste si descrie realitatea) este inductiv (cunoastere_prin_observatie). Nu ca ar fi gresit insa e rudimentar si incomplet.

Asta nu inseamna ca rationamentul stiintific nu are si parti deductive insa in final, pentru a se confirma, pentru a confirma teoria, ajunge si depinde tot de un proces inductiv. Dar ca start va avea observatia, apoi teoria. Deci tu intr-un fel ai dreptate, e ca si cum ai zice, observand un pahar cu o cantitate de apa ca are apa. E o afirmatie corecta dar nu descrie suficient realitatea. Paharul este si gol.

Spre deosebire, credina, leap of faith cum ii zici tu, sau non_cunoastere_prin_observatie, deductia are un alt mod de a opera, si anume teoretizare logica si apoi orientare. Poti sa creezi orice concept din nimic pe care apoi il invarti si il rafinezi. De asta de exemplu nu se poate ajunge la o teorie noua doar prin teoriile vechi, este necesar sa adaugi ceva imaginar. Iar aici intervine Einstein:

"We can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them."

Cred ca acum am lamurit diferentele intre inductie-deductie, cunoastere-credinta (leap of faith). Mai departe trebuie ca tu sa incerci sa vezi semnificatia hipopotamului negativ si a teoriei black swan (in relatie cu inductie vs deductie)

There are many Christians, myself included, that do not expect to find atheists excluded from heaven.

Well, I'm Christian too but i think The Bible is rather clear that you can't reach Heaven until certain requirements are met. That doesn't mean that you will never get there, the way I see it is that you will eventually if and when you acknowledge the Holy Spirit. It like sort of like required height for rides at carnivals. So it's more like what you understand by "never", because never is relative also. For example: "you will never get in this ride until you're 5 feet tall" is a valid statement that is both true and false in relation to "never".

It's referenced as the Unpardonable Sin both in Matthew 12:31-32

“Therefore I say to you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven men. Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but whoever speaks against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him, either in this age or in the age to come”

and Mark 3:22-30

“And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem said, ‘He has Beelzebub,’ and, ‘By the ruler of the demons He casts out demons.’ …‘Assuredly, I [Jesus] say to you, all sins will be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they may utter; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is subject to eternal condemnation;’ because they said, ‘He has an unclean spirit’”

The way I see it denying the Holy Spirit is denying your divine nature and by that your connection to God/Jesus and even if they'd want to help you reach Heaven they can't because you've tuned out of God's evergy/power (and this is part of Free Will). It's like turning off a radio. Whatever is being transmitted can't be received (even if it is transmitted).

But then again, atheists don't seem to actively deny the Holy Spirit or their divine nature, they seem to be unconvinced it exists (but this is very debatable). I guess for example Sam Harris, since he acknowledged that he is spiritual, doesn't qualify for Unpardonable Sin, even if he denies organized religion.

This also explains why OP's reasoning that if you're not specifically Christian you're going to Hell might be wrong.

But then again, this is just an interpretation.
