    What evidence would you accept?

    No, it doesn't. People believe all sorts of things .. and we can decide for ourselves what we think is "true or false". For example, I don't believe that it is true that science has a monopoly on 'truth'. :) You might believe otherwise.

    What evidence would you accept?

    No empirical evidence required. One either believes, or they don't.

    My Issue With Religion

    Nobody likes being punished .. I think that's the whole point. If we are in severe pain, we want to have relief from it .. maybe through medicine, or such like. That goes whether it is physical or mental pain. Of course, it would be better if we could avoid the situation altogether .. that's...

    What evidence would you accept?

    I doubt that .. but you dismiss it .. as is your preference. It's easy to claim that there is no life after death .. easy to claim that there is. We make our bed, and have to lie in it .. whatever it may be.

    My Issue With Religion

    Easy to say .. but as a parent, I saw my wife punishing the kids .. and didn't stop her. I knew it would make her life too difficult. :) ..not so much revenge, as a warning .. like physical pain is a warning. I think you are referring to "eternal punishment". I believe in it .. but not as "a...

    My Issue With Religion

    What do you mean by "perfect"? The angels are perfect, in as much as they cannot intentionally choose sin, and so are not held responsible for their actions. It is not a case of "cannot" .. G-d chooses to create us as we are. i.e. responsible for our actions

    What evidence would you accept?

    We all know that. :oops: I guess your experience is different to mine .. your environment is different from mine. You see people around you who believe all sorts of things without any evidence.. ..and so you have concluded that all religions have no rational foundation. I have come to a...

    What evidence would you accept?

    Mmm .. that's human beings, for you .. we often only believe what we want to believe. 😑 We convince ourselves that such-and-such is true or not true.

    What evidence would you accept?

    Of course it doesn't. Many people don't understand evolution .. perhaps they weren't taught very well. ;)

    What evidence would you accept?

    No .. not in my opinion. We are taught (in Bible/Qur'an) that YHWH(Allah) is the only TRUE god (reality). G-d is not a man-made idol/god .. G-d prohibits idol worship.

    When interpretations go beyond the text

    False .. G-d is warning us in the Qur'an as what not to do .. it applies to all of us. In fact, there is a hadith in which Muhammad(peace be with him) says "The Muslim nation will follow the Christians and Jews, so much so, that if they crawled into the home of a lizard, they will follow them...

    When interpretations go beyond the text

    That makes no sense. What is an Arab? What is a Jew? You appear to be mixing up religion with race. I am an Englishman living in the UK. I was raised as a Christian. My mother was a Christian, and didn't like lies. Nor do I. 😑 Abraham had two sons .. Isaac and Ishmael. They were both blessed...

    When interpretations go beyond the text

    Really? As far as I'm aware, Muhammad lived in a small village in Arabia, miles away from civilisation. Life was extremely difficult, primarily living on dates and sheep's milk. Muhammad, peace be with him, had no formal eduction, and didn't read and write. I believe he did come upon Christians...
