If you follow the link, you'll see my attempt to initiate this users faith with my own faith. The object of the thread was for "anyone" to simply "ask a Muslim anything" and he had affirmed that he'd answer serious questions, well, seriously. I guess he doesn't have as much faith in his belief as he had previously regarded, or he doesn't take his faith seriously altogether. The appeal that I approached him with was not to urge a specific answer bc if we all could urge the answers we want out of life, there would be no mysteries, but rather that I was confident in the answers my belief gives me (the same outlook he had). faith is not meant to be a mystery. And that prospect should apply for all religions. As you can see, he blatantly avoids direct inquisition and curiosity, although one would likely misconstrue it as bigoted or even on the offence. Needless to say, I didn't get any answers from this slanderous deceiver. Call me arrogant, but I knew he couldn't answer the question I asked. Not that it was rigged or contextual or even unreasonable, but because when someone's faith is tested, the darkness is tested by the light. Notice I didn't specify any specific faith. This is because we are all subject to trail, ridicule, and most importantly, we are to be held accountable for our actions and beliefs that we proclaim. Does that mean I hold a single Islamist accountable to the massacres happening in it's name today? No. I don't hold a majority accountable either. One must understand the consequences of suffering and and being oppressed. backlash is indeed a consequence of spiritual infancy, oppression, and a vengeful heart but it's a consequence nonetheless. You also see this backlash with modern atheists in today's society as well. Perceived to be vise versa, atheism is shrinking on a global spectrum while religion, on the other hand, is exploding exponentially. Not just the crazies in the religious sphere, but more so the traditionalists. Atheists don't have long so they're making a hard push for science so it can be pronounced the only perceivable truth of the material world, being that there's no existence after the blimp of time you get here on earth. Religion is not what's wrong with the world. religion is adapting to the world of modernity and intellectual growth that it hasn't face since the beginning of it's time and is a substantial part of life for regions abroad, even I'm todays era. Atheism is not what's wrong with the world. So what is the problem? If you go to the doctor with a sore throat, a skin infection, pink eye, diarrhea and without hesitation they diagnose it as something that you ate. although the outlook seems to lean that way, it does not justify the dismissive tendency to address all issues individually, of eachother, and then collectively, which is mostly necessary. I guess in closing, we need to find a way to communicate about all of these topics of discussion in the public sphere. And communication, or miscommunication rather, seems to be the common means for indifference and intolerance. Funny how the only way to project yourself into the world in today's society is via internet communication, beit Twitter, Instagram, other blog type sites and apps. Miscommunication and misinformation, when these two base concepts are taken for granted, the impact on society is, and will be, not revitalizing but merely devastating to the psychology of the society that holds what is false to be true. God bless all of you who read the entirety of this post. Peace be to you from the father above. Peace to those who rebuke my efforts and proclamations of faith. Moreover, I plea for Gods mercy over the soul of the non believer. [spoiler]sorry about the length but points needed to be made.[/spoiler]
