(and even then, there are wide variations on that) There are people who believe in a clear separation of church and state. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people will see this phrase in reference to religion and interpret it as: "Those who accept will be saved and the other will feel the flames of hell." Just letting you know. However you meant it, it can be misinterpreted. You basically did. You said to write about the nicer things in Islam that people don't know about. That's diversion from the issue. You don't want to focus on the uncomfortable reality, so you conveniently want to start only talking about the nice parts. Again, religion isn't about discarding the bits you don't like. You have to address it all. Thing is, in my country, religion is not a necessity, if you don't want it to be. You answer to yourself, not religion. The law of the land comes first, not religion. So, it's very hard to be truly accepting of a religion that restricts freedoms that are protected under our laws, that practices things that are illegal in our country, that dresses its women in clothes that our culture finds threatening (covering everything except your eyes is what criminals do to conceal their identities in my country). I have no problem with a Muslim living here and practicing their religion in private, integrating with the locals and adhering to our laws. But when they start forcing their religion onto others, isolate themselves from non-Muslims and start demanding that we change our laws to suit them...then I have a problem. Well, then virtually any sentence can have sinister undertones. My point is I didn't mean it that way, if anyone misinterprets it, it's not really my problem. I accept that not everyone will understand me and I don't feel it's my job to explain to them if they didn't, I'm not a teacher. I told him to post nicer things because there are mostly negative threads about GGD on Islam (which I understand why) and you're saying I told him to actually remove those negative threads because apparently I want people to ignore the bad parts of Islam (which he can't actually do). Look, I'm not trying to start a discussion here. I said what I had to say, if you don't understand, it's fine. And I don't even know how the 3rd paragraph is relevant to the things I said (I'm not even like that so...) but you don't have to explain, I'd rather not talk about this further. Good day!

SFDMQ 3,397 Posted September 6, 2017 Share Posted September 6, 2017 so a lot of people have been taking this p*rn thing that I said completely out of context. i wasn't trying to brag about how I love watching p*rn. it was just a joke that i often use with my friends when i tend to forget things a lot. not more than that. but it is clearly my fault tho, and I hope you guys could understand that i'm not a native speaker (but i was trying hard to sound like one) and sometimes my way of saying things are a little bit different. 34 minutes ago, StrawberryBlond said: Religion was designed to guide us, but we were also supposed to live our lives by it. Saying "Do not kill," for example, isn't just a guide, it's a command to follow for the rest of your life. If you want to identify with a religion, you have to go all the way. You don't hear a vegan say: "I'm vegan...but I eat meat and dairy once a week." We'd laugh at someone who said that. But yet, we're supposed to accept someone who says: "I'm Muslim...but I never go to the mosque"? yes you are right on this one. i might not be good enough to call myself as a Muslim but not every Muslims are like me. also, being committed to a religion is an extremely hard thing to do. but the whole reason why i even bother to write a comment on this thread is because i feel like people out there really need to know about Islam and respect it as a religion. i cant stand when people were hating so much on a religion because of its followers. it's like hating America because of Trump. yes Trump is the president of the United States but he doesn't represent America.

(it's bit more radical I know) That comes down to that age old argument in religion...of you can't choose your skin color, but you can "choose who you have sex with". These uber-religious types interpret their scriptures in a certain way that leads them to believe that homosexual acts are a sin like premarital sex. That doesn't mean that they are going to believe that the government should step in and prohibit or punish premarital sex...but they don't condone it. Religion is complex. People's relationship to religion is complex. You can have Catholics that are Tea Party Trumpers and Catholics like Lady Gaga. We have gay Muslims here at GGD.

If you truly support your Muslim religion, you wouldn't support her. This is like saying Gaga shouldn't call herself Catholic and do all those things. Would you tell that to her? In fact, is it nice thing to condescendingly tell to someone how they should identify? Isn't that personal? FreePalestine Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your beliefs are very controversial on a site like this but i applaud you for remaining civil and respectful here. I must ask, do you personally believe homosexuality is wrong or do you feel you have to believe it because of your religion?
