However, this Riddah point that you make is also a valid point for the study.
About kafir status, doesn't Christianity say something similar for other religions? Christianity may not order to read a death sentence against someone doing one from the Christian religion, but I clearly remember a protestant friend slating all other religions, and calling their believers devils with the invisible horns sticking out of their heads. http://www.laserholics.com/images/sm...386-medium.gif :freak3: I got into a discussion with the Alpha course trainer when his sample teachings (that cliffs diagram to show the distance between the God and a human) seemed anti-human to me. He was saying that if one is on the way to the church, one needs to get to the church- no matter what. I asked him- "What if I find a life in danger on my way to the church? Shouldn't I miss the church and save him/her instead? Won't that be equal to worshipping God?" He firmly said- "No. You need to get to the church, if you want to get to God". I just smiled. .> :) |

I just don't buy the moral equivalence; it's demonstrably and self-evidently false.

No one is trying to convince you, so don't buy. No religion is free of fruitloops and faults, and I stick by it.

Some ideologies may be worse than others; due to their radical teachings and the number of radicals they have as their followers, I know.

Christianity is quite twisted at places to the point of making someone chunder. All religions or religious ideologies are like that at places, and the twisted literalists ensure the exhibition of their nausiatic twists. I'll slate any of the religions for their anti-human stances/practices any time of the day. I am sure my God of Humanity will understand my straight-to-the-point argument; without unnecessarily intellectualising the matter further. |
Ok, well I don't think you've understood the question, so we'll have to leave it.

I'm not that clever, but know the difference between a religious ideology and a religion. However, we are better off leaving it.
It's Friday, and I am supposed to go out tonight. Have a good one. :) |

My point is that you confirmed by observation, wouldn't interaction of provided you with more conclusive validation?
