What religion are you?/Religion discussion

[Aces]

Then I apologize. I misunderstood your post. From what you said, it seems as if my argument is actually the same as the one you were making; everybody is nice if they're reasonable, regardless of what they believe.

So again, I'm sorry.

Nah, it's k.

Way to go on being an Objectivist. Even if you aren't religious, other people are important, and should be important in your life. The social contract exists for a reason. You don't have to believe in a deity to follow it, and you should still follow it even if you don't believe in higher power.

I will not waste my love on those who do not deserve it,

I didn't say I don't care about anyone else, I said I don't care about people I have no business caring about.

Islam claims that Jesus was a prophet for them, instead of God's son.

Yeah, but it's so silly how everyone labels islam as some terrorist worshiping organization, even though their beliefs are almost the same thing as most amercan's.

I'm fully aware of that. I don't think you care about enough people, and you don't care about them enough. Anyone who believes that they should "dominate those who choose to be weak rather than give them the pity they seek" isn't abiding by the social contract.

I have a good friend who is islamic and he says that one of the commandy things is to die fighting americans, it had some name but if forgot, and that gets you into heaven with 70 virgins, however apparently Self Delete bombing doesn't count but not everyone knows that.

Sounds like someone who hates america made it up.

I don't think your friend is Muslim, or I don't think you understood them when they were explaining things to you. One of these two things has to be right, because everything you wrote is, on its face, absolutely false.

I don't even believe that for a second :V  Islam has been around longer than America has, how could it even be mentioned in the Quran..

Nah, Self Delete is against Islam. Fighting for your country or belief from oppression is called Jihad for Muslims. If you die during Jihad, you are a martyr. The whole virgin thing is complete nonsense. Allah is just Arabic for god. All Arabs, regardless of their religion, call God Allah.

And Jihad literally means "Struggle"..  so the whole terrorist thing is complete BS.

This is probably the most logical argument I have seen on the forums, needs a bump
