    The Seven Types of Atheism

    There was no was or before - these words indicate time - seems to be an ineffable reality and I think both “god” and atheism are impossible to prove. Either you believe the universe has a source or you do not. Isn’t there a theory that the singularity was produced by membranes rubbing together ?

    The Seven Types of Atheism

    My perception is that the actions of non-believers should not be applied to believers - and my life is not an anecdote

    The Seven Types of Atheism

    I speak from personal experience - I was incarcerated myself - and my point, which seems to have been missed - my fault - is that many people who identitfy with a particular faith, by their own admission, do not actually believe in it and therefor do not live by it - so it would be inaccurate &...

    The Seven Types of Atheism

    There’s a good many law abiding believers as well. Nearly all of the incarcerated believers that I’ve known were nonimal believers. The ones who identified as Christians, for example, were not engaged in the practice of Christianity before going to jail. They didn’t read (much less study) the...

    All paths lead to God?

    There is the idea that it doesn’t matter how you live, what you do or what you believe - we are gonna return to “God” and everything will be all good in the Afterlife for everybody. Personally I don’t believe that. I believe misery & failure is not only a reality of this world, but of the next...

    All paths lead to God?

    I’m not an “all roads lead to Rome” kind of guy, but that doesn’t mean that I believe only one Religious/Spiritual Path “leads to God” - I believe there are, and have been, multiple “Paths to God”. However, I do believe there is such a thing as a Wrong Direction - I believe it is possible to...

    Sources of Hebrew Scripture

    Very interesting - thank you. As I’m sure you know, The Quran clearly states that Prophet Musa/Moses (as) was the recepient of a Divine Revelation called Tawrat/Torah, so we do believe that it did exist, but do not know exactly what it was (or is) other than it did contain Commandment and/or...

    Latinos and Islam

    I know several Hispanic Muslims, and I’ve not seen any indication that their embracing of Islam is an expression of backlash against white culture. For most of the ones that I’ve known personally, it seems more to do with a dissatisfaction with the Catholicism with which they were raised. In...

    What color is your...

    Most Qurans today are bound in green and green is often central among colors within Sufism. Many believe this is partly due to the mystical companion of Moses/Musa (as) from Surah 18:60-82 known as Khidr (meaning “green”). Green was also the favorite color of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) And was...

    The Gender of G!d

    I think there is really no doubt that people are born with homosexual inclinations, as well as many other kinds of inclinations (or urges - whatever) and that - in itself - doesn’t necessarily make it okay, but surely there is something to be said for external influences ? Youngsters often...

    Religion v. Myth

    And therein is the line - Myth isn’t rooted in or based on fact.

    Religion v. Myth

    Personally I think there is - just seems a bit blurred here at the moment - probably just me.
