Telmo, I admire your self-control in 'religious' topics. Do you
indeed have a well fitting definition of religious?
Dear John,
I don't have a good definition. I do have a distinction though: good
religious feelings come from contemplating how much we don't know,
bad ones come from pretending we know what we don't.
Very nice.
Actually even pretending that we know what we know, in the religious
field, lead to bad religion.

Cheers,

Proof is the domain of science. Scripture guides the way for

rather a careful study has much to offer to those seeking a
Theory of Everything.
Bruno's a big proponent of studying theology; so maybe you'll
convince him.
Not trying to convince anyone. Just sharing so that whoever finds
it worth considering considers.

The only thing you are sharing on this list is your deep personal
emotional need for people to show respect for your "holy book". Like
all those smitten by some ancient text, you are only vaguely
concealing the fact that you are out to proselytise for your
favourite religion. You are clearly a soldier in the army of Islam
and you are out to convert the infidel. I must say you are getting
pretty boring. You have tried every conceivable angle by now to
fixate everyone onto the Qu'ran and you simply won't give up until
people love you for your deep religious fervour. Buddy - it simply
ain't gonna happen in this place. You are not advancing anything
other than arguments from authority as you have been told multiple
times by now. This kind of thing cannot be concealed by any amount
of contrived scholarly nonsense, most of which serves only to bore
people on this list to death, mainly because of the selective and
tendentious reasoning behind your posts. I'm afraid there isn't much
meat in your sandwich.
I had a friend from Saudi Arabia who opened a cafe* near my house at
the time. He practiced Islam but was very discrete about it. He was
a smart guy, and willing to discuss his beliefs without any intent
to proselytise. He never started that conversation, I was the one
curious about it. Once he was insisting with me that I should try
some new import beer that he just got. I asked him how could he
encourage me to drink, if he was my friend and believed that to be a
sin. He said: "you are lucky. you don't know any better, so Allah
doesn't mind". So I follow his advice to this day and steer clear of
any religious enlightenment that could interfere with life's little
pleasures! :)
Cheers,
Telmo.
