I bet its bacon too! Knowing damn well I can't eat it (showing crap hospitality on your part). I mean the last meal should be something exciting like a Seafood Grill with real Tuna Steak.
Only if the tuna was stunned before hand.

Shaid, if one joins the site you mention, and uses rationality as their basis for making decisions, how likely do you think they are to convert to Islam, is this the aim of the site, and what tangible benefits are there from doing so? Is there any difference from Christianity in that faith trumps reason as the basis for belief and decision making?

I have read some of the threads on the site. It seems moderate and respectful, but so far I haven't found anything inspiring me to contribute or linger. Is there a particular section or thread you would point me too that will impress a truth seeker?

Its this total BS, bare faced lying, that you sit there and try and tell us black is white that gets up my nose. You're a fantasist nothing more, a stranger to reason. And you suffer from mental illness. Apart from that, have a nice day

Warren, Shaid was educated in the school where the headmaster was a Mr PS Lewis.

Seems to have graduated with distinction.

Yes, i thought so Shaid they evolve over time, which is sort of where I came in on this thread

Can't say I'm particularly interested in categorising you. You did how ever use your personal out look on life to argue why Atheism isn't a belief.

Unfortunately that is a journey for you to take and not one where I can lead I'm afraid. Just be a good person and look beyond what you are in front of you. Allah tells us via the Quran to seek knowledge. So just do it, who knows where it
might lead you. It might lead you to god or it may not. As long as you are a good person think if there was a god would he be bothered with trivialities? I don't know the answer to that.

Totally agree, but I also don't get why some people who don't believe feel the need to belittle those who do. Like you, I don't care what people believe, it doesn't matter to me, so why would I then want to bang on about it?

I know some people do bad things supposedly in the name of religion, but I very much believe most religious people just have their beliefs and get on with them without impacting on anyone else.

I know this is a Subaru forum, but I don't recall any threads started by religious people trying to convert anyone or pushing religion in anyone's face. However, over the years I have seen many criticising. Seriously, if it is such a load of bollocks, why are supposedly intelligent people wasting time out of their lives even talking about it?

Religion was founded years ago to control the uneducated masses with threats and promises.

Some are still stupid enough to truly believe in them others take comfort from them in times of need and desperation.

No doubt all the different religions have caused far more problems than they have solved but some find direction in it and as said above comfort.

I think all religions regardless of origin are utter horsesh*t.

As for who is the most educated believers or non believers really there will be good and bad on both sides.

Thank you for your comment.

You need to lighten up, I was referring to your skill at trolling, which seems very good.


It's a while since I've posted regularly on SNet, beginning to wonder why I bothered returning.
