And yet the Bahai faith depends largely on the Quran, with an extra source of the teaching of their newer teacher. The UU largely bases their opinions off of liberal views of the Bible. Above all this, I personally see a lot of common "Let's not discuss it" phrases, would you care to discuss...

I'm no expert on sufism, nor senegal, but after a small amount of reading it seems very hierarchical "I'm better than you" ish... This wouldn't be acceptable to most Muslims. All people who claim Islam should be considered peaceful, the issue arises when 1 group decides to venture outside of our...

I will explain why this is one of those "I can say it and there's nothing you can dispute", mainly due to the fact it isn't an argument. not an inherent flaw... maybe a point of view though. I would say to a much smaller degree than others, but in the fundamental beliefs, we are all the...

I have only the ideas conveyed from my wife about her family's beliefs. So it may be even she isn't fully understanding what her Grandmother believes, so I will leave it at that is the common view from the outside (as confirmed by many other sources when I asked what their view of it was)...

Whatever works for you. But I can say that your view on religion is highly influenced by a group of irrational people. Religion, while building upon a few tenants that can only be attributed to faith, is very much rational. I think if you broaden your scope a bit, you might find there are...

There are a-holes in every circle. The ones in the Atheist circle tend to be very abrasive. But having lived on both sides of the Christian camp, and Islamic camp, I find there are some believers who are equally, if not more, infuriatingly obnoxious.

To be fair, this is the point in which there is contention in belief of the commonality amongst Alawi and either Sunni/Shia. The vast majority opinion is that Mouhammed (PBUH) was the last Rassoul (Messenger). It is further a vast Majority opinion that he is the last Nabi (Prophet) (Let's ignore...

from a theological standpoint I would disagree. From a standpoint of non-textual assumptions... I agree totally. Although I think that if you take the consensus from common Muslims (in other words not the terroristic people who claim Islam) you might find a vastly different view than the one...

It wasn't meant as a jab at you in particular, it is a severe undersight for many...

I love this statement, it goes to show that people use common soundbites more than actual numbers. First, what is a scientist. What fields are we accepting into this numerical analysis. If one assumes anyone with a Bachelors of Science degree, World-wide, I think these numbers might skew a bit...

I agree, to the point of if one precludes the other, it is a dangerous thing. If they do not compliment each other (one says the sky is green the other blue) then one or the other must be mistaken, then comes the old proof to show which is the one that is wrong (or both)

This seems to be spot on for the vast majority of non-believers. Some legitimately don't know or don't care what level of assumption they are allowing for their side as opposed to the other. So you are comparing a "MIRACULOUS BIRTH" to that of an ordinary birth and saying that it is FALSE due...

the Numbers of these types is declining quick. I call most of these the "Yeah, but's" The Question is If you fall into either category. (you meaning anyone...) These are both not great people IMO. the blind followers make questioners into skeptics, the "yeah, but's" distract people from...

Allah, YHWH, I AM, God, The Creator ... different names same entity. Either way... I'm confused by your posts continuity, but ok... if your point is agreeing with what I wrote I agree too :D

For just a second, let's assume any Abrahamic text is accurate, My statement would hold true without debate. Now Since you cannot prove The Creator exists, To what degree of probability would you hold to be likely, or true for that matter. As I've stated, a person looking for doubt will always...

God (Allah) is not a Man. Nor an invisible man.

are you really that shallow? Or am I really that bad at explaining the fundamentals of assumptions? Obviously you think you've caught onto something about a "version" of Islam. So please enlighten us with your knowledge of the unseen. Or for that matter, please provide absolute indisputable...

The sun exists. You exist. The perception you have of what is real actually is real. All these are assumptions. There is no way to prove your existence, or mine, or the sun. We might all be in a "Matrixesque" experience. Among others. Assuming the Sun is a real body. Assuming your eyes aren't...

Then logic doesn't exist. Assumptions are the key to analysis. Logic isn't definite, it is a way of getting to an answer. Can you please point out a logical decision, or a logical outcome that is not containing an assumption?

fair enough, but i did use it as an option and stated it as a pure assumption.. yes we've done that tango, but please note that I didn't say my assumptions were logic, rather that with those assumptions we can make logical options. I know this topic is largely debated, but I'm sticking with it...
