I wonder if we can put more conent on as well? Such as variations in how the style in interpretted, more of the history as it evolves? Good point, Adam. Once upon a time I remember that article being much, much better. But it seems a lot of content got stripped. If I am not mistaken, much of the co...

It is. Up here in Anchorage, I get to see front and center the ugliness of politics. These people, who really don't disagree on the issues, are at each others' throats because of disagreements about their chosen avatars (Murky and Miller). It's been informative and entertaining for me (I don't have...

I'll guess what they say about it now: it was a mistake, and they rectified it. How their moral superiority and omniscient guide permitted these obvious mistakes just recently, is a wonder to me. It's a little bit like the 9 year old bride. THAT was totally godly at the time, and now it's not. So w...

See, Ahmed? Once upon a time I was probably as thin-skinned as you were on matters of religion. Ian cured me, good doc that he is. :lol: Oh, the rambling discussions we've had here... Im more thick skinned than alot of muslims too, thats whats even more sad. Nope. Life's too good to waste on hate. ...

See, you take this far too personally. I would be lying if i didn't say I see it as a part of who i am. So yeah i take it seriously. But im willing ot listen and think about criticism. I certainly don't think this is blasphemy or hate, or that anyone asking this deserves punishmen. These are fairly...

Deleted, got too pissed over deliberate provocation. Though did you consider the second position(the one i believe) about aisha at all? Keep in mind, this entire contreversy your bringing up is not at all in the quran, it's completly a hadith issues, even the anti-muslims will tell you this is a had...

Generally it seems inconceivable that you could worship God devoutly your whole live and then get chucked into the lake of fire because you were intellectually wrong about some things. Think it's more than that. From an islamic point of view, it's all about intention, and how clear you are with you...

Mike, I loved that you answered the question about the disco bombing seriously! That was just anther swipe at Islamofascism and the utter vacuity of their beliefs. Presumably you were aware. But thank you for remembering the only redeeming line from that confused entry to the Star Trek series. Perh...

Gotta give the catholic church credit, most of the philosophical discourse taking place seems to be far more modern than Islam and alot of american evangelical christianity.

We muslims and the american evangelists still seem to be bickering about things the church seems to be far more resolved on.

I live to prostitute myself for everyones entertainment!!! oh baby!

I think todays christianity would be viewed as heretical by many early christians. Quite likely. It's a matter of perspective. I got a different impression of gnosticism from the gnostics i talked to. That would be because gnosticism today is nothing like what it was back then. Today it's 'cool' be...

On Buddhists: you have educated me once again, they've had their fair share of violence. Again though, you are not moving me more towards enthusiasm for religion. On Jainism: off shoot may they be, the question is how do THEY behave. We're not accountable for the actions of prehistoric hominids. to...

"Before making this reply on his website, he seemed to DEFEND the notion of nuking the musilm world, basically implying that most people were fanatics and thus must be dealt with by force, as that is the only option." Great, I'll be waiting for you to substantiate that particular claim so...

http://www.samharris.org/site/full_text/response-to-controversy2/ Ahmed, you want to go re-read that "offensive" paragraph and tell me that if a psycho islamic regime (say, the nation of al qaeda, if one develops) acquired a nuclear strike capability, you wouldn't be worried enough to con...
