subject:"Samiya proved right"

Well, it halted intellectual progress (and governmental) progress, by 
submitting to god's will and shrugging one's shoulders. Mind you, everyone in 
the past and today does this because we cannot rule reality. The American 
phrase, it is what it is, we can all hear every day. Now why we may ask 
ourselves, did Muslim civilization slide, while Europe, rose and China, after 
sending its ships round the world achieved, and then declined? The best guess 
is that although piety may keep a person humble, it may also make someone, 
incurious. Why ask? It's God's will! What can we do? The Greeks also rose and 
fell. China under the Ming, I believe, turned inward after the Emperors 
command, and nobody could rise out of what their fathers did to earn a living. 
This killed China's rise to power, even after success with technology. 


As far as controlling things here is a short paul davies speculation on the 
universe, reality, mind.

Samiya, let me be rude, for an exchange:
do you really think (and believe!) that you are a trustable advocate os
God's will and wisdom?
You never even justified your God's existence and activity (plans?) except
for some threats against not believeing what you said. And I repeat:
WHAT YOU SAID  (mostly hiding behind YOUR words) assigned to God - or the
Script, (which is no better than your word as long as you did not justify
the origin of it).
And many of this think-tank flock of mostly believers goes for it
endlessly.

I believe I have little time left yet cannot force myself NOT to go through
your escapades about YOUR OWN belief system without believable
justification.
Sorry for my outburst

Imagine you convince everybody of this. Then you will convince also the
percentage of human having sadical pulse (for a reason or another). So there
is a risk that those people believing everything is decreed by God will
interpret their sadical pulse as God anger and willingfulness to punish.

Regarding the terrible trial of the bani Israel (children of Prophet Jacob),
it is mentioned in the Quran:
Holy Quran 7:141
--
وَإِذْ أَنْجَيْنَاكُمْ مِنْ آلِ فِرْعَوْنَ يَسُومُونَكُمْ سُوءَ الْعَذَابِ ۖ
يُقَتِّلُونَ أَبْنَاءَكُمْ وَيَسْتَحْيُونَ نِسَاءَكُمْ ۚ وَفِي ذَٰلِكُمْ
بَلَاءٌ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ عَظِيمٌ

And [recall, O Children of Israel], when We saved you from the people of
Pharaoh, [who were] afflicting you with the worst torment - killing your sons
and keeping your women alive. And in that was a great trial from your Lord.

You decide what you think are good and just acts, and then try to find evidence
that God measures up to your moral standards. But if you were consistent you
would just say that no matter who God causes to suffer through action or
omission, that's fine because he's God

In what sense does it ever make sense to pray to anything? The trouble with 
this thing called praying is that it is only ever done by those who have a 
penchant for the supernatural and probably love to imagine that someone is 
actually listening to their prayer. In this way, such an individual will tend 
to believe whatever appears to be the first kind of valid response from God. 
It's not like you enter into an argument or anything with God. If God tells you 
after listening to your prayers that it is OK to hump a goat, then you will 
tend to feel OK about it when doing it. Real thinking involves the ability to 
dispute your perceptions and beliefs and to be able to withhold judgement. It's 
interesting to note that God never argues with Man about what he wants either, 
but merely assists Man in all ways. Paul Davies could therefore be right: an 
unknown entity capable of energy manipulation might be authoring the whole 
charade. How the fuck would anyone know? To us, such an impious demonic entity 
(if that's what they are) would be deemed to be God. 

God has this tendency, as someone once observed, to align his/her/its wishes 
for usexactly on the same tram-lines of our already preset desires. God only 
ever wants for Man what Man already wants for himself anyway, so God is then a 
patsy for the Mafia or the Vatican or the Taliban or whoever has the guns to 
insist on getting their own way.

If God exists, I want this being to know that I will never pray to them, 
however powerful. This is because I could be mad or at the very least 
schizophrenic and possibly even homicidal and I probably don't need any further 
high-level authorization to go out and garrott somebody. As Bruno mentioned, 
this is what Ghengis-Kahn didn't do.

Indeed. And if there is a creator, that just leaves the origin question
open - where did the creator come from?

To the best of my knowledge this question isn't tackled in the Bible,
Quran, etc. But you'd think that God would know his own origins, and if
he's keen for us to believe in him, he'd tell us what they are, so that
once wev'e advanced enough in scientific knowledge we'd be able to verify
what the holy writ told us (Samiya has suggested that this is the case for
some bits of physics and biology - but I don't know of any holy text that
tells us that God evolved through natural selection before he created our
universe, I'd feel more inclined to believe it if it did).

Re: Samiya proved right

2015-06-02 Thread Samiya Illias

That's okay John, I understand! No single one of us really knows how much
time we have left -- nobody is promised a long life, but death is a
certainty we are bound to meet sooner or later.
I share the verses of the Quran as I believe it to be divine guidance. Why
my heart believes in the existence of God or why my heart is convinced that
the Quran is from God, I suppose I can not really translate in words just
the same as you cannot express in words why your heart refuses to believe.
I find the Quran to be a luminous book full of knowledge and wisdom beyond
what any human can author -- you consider it a human work. I try to share
verses which mention nature to help realise that a human could not have
authored such knowledge. I really don't know what would comprise evidence
for you.
Let's try a different approach. Do you really think that everything just
happened on its own and there is no creator behind it? If you do believe
that there must be a creator, then try praying to your creator and implore
faith and guidance.
If you have any specific questions, I'll try answering them, and I pray
that God helps you find faith. Amen.

 Samiya, let me be rude, for an exchange:
 do you really think (and believe!) that you are a trustable advocate os
 God's will and wisdom?
 You never even justified your God's existence and activity (plans?) except
 for some threats against not believeing what you said. And I repeat:
 WHAT YOU SAID  (mostly hiding behind YOUR words) assigned to God - or the
 Script, (which is no better than your word as long as you did not justify
 the origin of it).
 And many of this think-tank flock of mostly believers goes for it
 endlessly.

 I believe I have little time left yet cannot force myself NOT to go
 through your escapades about YOUR OWN belief system without believable
 justification.
 Sorry for my outburst

 Just as contemplation and use of intelligence is advised in the Quran,
 so also is it advised to say 'In Sha Allah'. I understand the 'In Sha

 keep us mindful of the Uncertainty Principle, in that it applies not only
 to the quantum level, but cascades on to everything. Saying 'In Sha Allah'
 and 'Ma Sha Allah' reminds us that no matter how earnestly we resolve to do
 something or how hard we tried, the decision is always with Allah. In this
 temporal realm, we can only 'choose' to try to do or not do something,
 however whether we are able to do it or not, and the outcome of our
 efforts, is determined and decreed by God. This helps to keep us going even
 when things don't seem to turn out right, as we are assured that all
 efforts are being recorded and will be compensated in the Hereafter. I
 suppose one way to understand it is in terms of a software whose designer
 codes in all outcomes, and the results, though based on user-choices, are
 already coded in by the designer. The designer is always in full control
 and the decision is always as the designer designed it.
 I suppose I should acknowledge here that, I do find, on the personal

 me, yet stating 'In Sha Allah' [if God wills] in earnestness makes the

 mindful of the Uncertainty Principle, in that it applies not only to the
 quantum level, but cascades on to everything.


The Quran mentions the Uncertainty Principle???

(If that is really so, then I may be forced to revise my agnosticism...)

Re: Samiya proved right

Well, Sean Pertwee, in this prequel to Batman, called Gotham, envisages the 
Batman character, Alfred the butler, taking on the role of raising an orphaned 
Bruce Wayne. The series, Gotham is a fully realized world, as they say, where  
the earth of Gotham City is not the earth that we inhabit in this list. No NYC, 
but instead, a larger, richer, and far, more, corrupt, Gotham. Think Gotham as 
a mix of the modern era, with the criminal activities, of Chicago during 
Prohibition, and the drug cartel wars we see in Mexico today. Instead of 
costumed villains and heroes, crime bosses are mafia Dons, who own and 
blackmail the local mayor, city council, and giant corporations. In this 
rendition, Alfred, is not only the butler, but really was the personal security 
guy, of Bruce's parents (billionaires) with a military SAS background. The bad 
guys like Penguin, Riddler, and Joker, have very modest starts on their climb 
to power. The Penguin, as a waiter who becomes a snitch, playing one mafia don, 
against another, in his ascent in Gotham. You might like it, depending on mood, 
time, interests, etc. More complex characterization and story arc, including 
detective Gordon, destined to rise to be police commissioner. High quality 
acting and cinematics, too.

 I think Samiya would say that if God thinks beheadings, floggings and
 stonings are good, then they are good, by definition.


I hope that was a question.
The issues that J Mikes has raised are of an organisational nature, to be
implemented by governments after legal evaluation for the maintenance of
justice in society. I've gone into the details and shared my understanding
of the Quranic injunctions earlier, hence I will not go into those details
again.
However, I would like to take this opportunity to highlight the actions
which are required of individuals seeking 'eternal bliss in Heaven', some
of which are: respecting and honouring parents; being kind and caring to
family, relatives, friends, neighbours, travellers, etc.; being
compassionate towards the poor: feeding the hungry, helping people pay off
their debts, freeing the slaves; taking care of orphans and so on.
Only recently I was studying some verses and researching the Internet for
relevant data, and I was surprised to learn that though slavery was
abolished years ago, yet 21-36 million people are still enslaved in various
forms and guises. This might be of interest:

World Hunger  Slavery
*Population Growth  Food Resources*
*Morality  Homicide*

*Abstract*
Quran (6:151, 17:30-31) identifies poverty as the reason for hunger, and
dismisses the notion that population growth leads to hunger, explicitly
prohibiting the killing of children due to or out of fear of poverty. At
another place, the Quran (Chapter 90) exhorts the free citizens to reduce
inequality by freeing slaves and feeding the hungry, stating that these are
the difficult yet required things to do. Quran (2:177) lists giving of
wealth to the needy and freeing of slaves among the righteous deeds.

According to the statistics, the agricultural yields are more than enough
for the current and forecasted world population, yet one in every nine
people on our planet suffers hunger every day! Though decrease in
population growth is promoted as a remedy to the problem, yet no direct
correlation has been found between population density and hunger. Unjust
economic systems lead to Poverty and Inequality,  which in turn cause
Hunger, Indebtedness and Enslavement!

An estimated 21 - 36 million people are enslaved today. Though legal
slavery was finally banished from all countries in the world by 1981, yet
its only changed in title and form - humans continue to be enslaved by
fellow human beings.

This article explores the meaning of the divine instruction and guidance in
terms of the relevant information available.

 I suppose if there really is a God, a Heaven, and a Hell (though I find
the idea abhorent and illogical that any loving God would allow Hell to
exist) then it's possible to come up with a rational explanation for why
they might be good. As Larry Niven had a character suggest in a short
story, a rational reason for suicide would be that there really is a Hell,
and it gets worst the longer you put off going there,

Abolish all doubt and what's left is not faith, but absolute heartless
conviction.

I'm not sure exactly what you are saying here. Are you talking about some
of the things that have been labelled religions at times on this list (like
Materialism, comp etc) or are we still on the more traditional religions?

What you're doing is deciding (using your own mind) what is right, then
searching in the Quran to see if it agrees with you. But that is not how it
works if the Quran is God's word and God is always right. Instead, if you
find something in the Quran that contradicts you, you should admit that you
were wrong. For example, if you think slavery is wrong but it can be shown
to you that the Quran says slavery is right, then you should either change
your view of the morality of slavery or admit that you are against God.

something we do not have a term for as yet?* Certainly, if you gather ideas 
from physicists and philosophers over at the FQXI website (Funded by the 
Templeton Foundation) who come up with very esoteric ideas that somehow sound 
convincing, to me.  

The old religious guys of centuries ago did their best. However, their beliefs 
that they met with angels in caves or God on a mountain top, seem less likely 
to me. In fact, for me, the more plausible God and angels now seem, the less 
likely the old guys actually met with somebody real. Instead of God I could say 
Mind, and instead of angels, I could say AI's/software personalities, the soul 
becomes a mind clone, etc. 

*The universe looks more like a great thought then a great machine. 
-Physicist, James Jeans. 

And, philosophers of science like John Leslie, many great thoughts, many great 
machines, maybe at some point these become the same, depending on who is 
thinking, such...thoughts.

That is the analogy I also used to understand and explain with some years ago. 
It helps to make sense of it.  
 
However, the Quran states that it has been created in Truth / Reality, hence I 
hesitate to use that analogy.

Re: Samiya proved right

Agreed. Philosopher, John Leslie, uses the terms ethical requiredness, when 
applying this to God. It's somehow easier for most, emotionally, simply to 
drop the God thing, as an expectation in their lives. High expectations can 
mean high disappointments. Physicist, Guilio Prisco suggests that humanities 
descendents take up the burden of God as an idea, on making things better in 
life.

 That is known as victim blaming. It's the psychology of a sadist - the

 That's a horrible analogy! 
 Consider the following verses: 
 
 http://quran.com/7/35-36 O children of Adam, if there come to you 
 messengers from among you relating to you My verses, then whoever fears 
 Allah and reforms - there will be no fear concerning them, nor will they 
 grieve. But the ones who deny Our verses and are arrogant toward them - 
 those are the companions of the Fire; they will abide therein eternally.
 
 Morally, how do you justify punishment for not believing something? You may 
 be foolish if you believe the wrong thing, but not bad. In this respect, 
 God's morals seem inferior to humans'. 
 
 If you read the verses 7/172-174 quoted below in my previous email, it 
 states that God made us testify that He is our Lord. I think this can 
 probably be understood in terms of the consciousness discussion that has 
 been going on in other threads. Though we do not remember this, however 
 according to these verses, we did at one time testify to it -- much before 
 being sent to this world. At another place in the Quran, God states that He 
 has created us as His 'ibaad' meaning slaves. That means that we submit only 
 to God and to nothing else, that we serve Him alone. And at another place, 
 it states that there is no compulsion in religion, hence whoever wishes can 
 strive for a beautiful future, and whoever rejects is forewarned. I see life 
 in this world some thing like a quality control, of being plugged into the 
 Matrix, and striving to improve our reality.

 Yes, we have testified. [This] - lest you should say on the day of

 I'm not sure why you (mis)quoted this, but from memory the correct version

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimbal in the wabe
All mimsey were the borogroves
And the mome raths outgrabe

The rest I'm less certain about. (Something about Beware the Bandersnatch

 Then you have a different moral standard for God. If a human tortures
 someone for fun, that's bad, but if God does it, that's fine.

 If a human demands worship and claims to love everyone while punishing
them for going against his laws, we call him a narcissistic psychopath. But

 Obviously for this to be a meaningful exercise it should be a double-blind
test in which various sacred texts which give similar statements that could
be seen as scientific are compared. One would need Biblical scholars,
experts in the Norse Eddas, Buddhists and so on to take what they consider
meaningful statements, suitably agnostic scholars to translate them if
necessary, historians to give suitable interpretations to place them into
context, and then a group of people with scientific knowledge, and no
knowledge of their origin, to assign a score for how well them measure up.
Plus some made up / contemporary statements should be thrown in for
comparison.

Taking the word of people who already believe a particular result that the
statements from their preferred sacred texts have been correctly
translated, interpreted and historically contextualised will not produce
any meaningful data.

Allah is in control of it all. All is me'toub! Fated by Allah. So studying how

 according to these verses, we did at one time testify to it -- much before 
 being sent to this world. At another place in the Quran, God states that He 
 has created us as His 'ibaad' meaning slaves. That means that we submit only 
 to God and to nothing else, that we serve Him alone. And at another place, 
 it states that there is no compulsion in religion, hence whoever wishes can 
 strive for a beautiful future, and whoever rejects is forewarned. I see life 
 in this world some thing like a quality control, of being plugged into the 
 Matrix, and striving to improve our reality. 
 
 The point is, if there's not enough evidence for a rational, impartial person 
 to believe something, it is morally wrong to punish them for not believing 
 it. For example, if the government passes a law and keeps it secret, allowing 
 only easily dismissed rumours of it to get out, it is morally wrong to then 
 reveal the law and punish people who didn't obey it. Note that this has 
 nothing to do with whether the belief is good or bad - only if it is true. I 
 could say that the Quran is a wonderful document, but unfortunately there is 
 insufficient evidence that it is true; or alternatively, that it is an evil 
 document, but unfortunately the evidence suggests that it is true.
 

Which is why I suggest that those who understand science should evaluate the 
Quranic statements about nature to examine if the author knows what he is 
talking about. 
As per my understanding, nobody is being asked for irrational belief. There is 
enough evidence in nature for any keen mind to know that their must be a 
creator behind all this, enough evidence from history to know that there cannot 
be more than one master-king, otherwise everything would be in chaos, and 
multiple messengers, prophets and scriptures have been sent for guidance. 
Irrespective of the behaviour and actions of Jews, Christians, Muslims, Hindus, 
people of any faith or the lack of it, we must remember that each one of us 
will be judged individually and rewarded according to our beliefs and actions, 
taking into account all our limitations and all our efforts. There will be no 
injustice!

 Then is it the favor of Allah they reject? And Allah has made for you from

Re: Samiya proved right

2015-05-29 Thread LizR

No compulsion when the choice is between Heaven and Hell - and on the
basis of something we can't remember having done...? Let's try that in a
non-religious context. But, m'lud, I warned the victim that I was going to
murder him if he went through with his planned visit to Midsomer - and then
I erased his memory of our meeting. So clearly his murder is all his fault,
and not mine. I'm not sure the defence would get very far on that basis.

If it was proved beyond reasonable doubt that God and Heaven and Hell
really do exist, then no rational agent would choose NOT to worship God, as
Pascal pointed out. But the idea that despite having no sensible knowledge
on which to base his or her decisions, it's still the victim's fault if he
fails to avoid Hell, is the logic of a psychopath. Now look what you made
me do! he says as he tortures you.

It isn't an analogy, it's a fact of human psychology. Clearly people have
projected their own nature onto a supposed supreme being, making the
supreme being out to be some sort of emotionally crippled sadist. I refuse
to give credence to a God that intends to torture anyone who doesn't
believe in it for eternity, and I suggest you consider that with an open
mind yourself. Clearly *people* wrote those particular lines from your
allegedly divine text in order to control other people, and the same is
true of the Bible and any other holy writ that uses crude threats to force
other people to obey an elite group (such as priests).

A blast from the past. Wasn't it Robert Heinlein who wrote, one man's theology

Liz,   
The Quran speaks of one single blast which will kill and destroy everything, 
and another which will cause resurrection. When that is to occur, only God has 
knowledge of it. However, we have been informed that it is approaching closer 
and closer.   

The article you quoted has Biblical quotes. That all scriptures are sent from 
God is an article of faith for us. However, its better that I leave it to 
someone else who has studied the Bible in depth to comment upon the 
end-of-times signs in it.

As regards HAARP, etc, my understanding is that humans will transgress all 
reasonable bounds to toy with Creation, and try to corrupt the planet and bring 
harm to it and all who dwell upon it. In the past, many mighty yet criminal 
nations were warned: when they refused to heed the warnings of the messengers, 
even though the signs became clear to them, they were then destroyed for their 
crimes. Scriptures and mythology have many references and legends, and there 
are many ruins to wonder at what might have been.   

I'm posting below some relevant verses/links for your perusal:

   http://quran.com/21/1 Their reckoning draweth nigh for mankind, while they 
turn away in heedlessness.

   http://quran.com/7/187 They ask you, [O Muhammad], about the Hour: when is 
its arrival? Say, Its knowledge is only with my Lord. None will reveal its 
time except Him. It lays heavily upon the heavens and the earth. It will not 
come upon you except unexpectedly. They ask you as if you are familiar with 
it. Say, Its knowledge is only with Allah , but most of the people do not 
know.

   http://quran.com/39/68 And the trumpet is blown, and all who are in the 
heavens and all who are in the earth swoon away, save him whom Allah willeth. 
Then it is blown a second time, and behold them standing waiting!

   http://quran.com/36/48-52  And they say, When is this promise, if you 
should be truthful? They do not await except one blast which will seize them 
while they are disputing. And they will not be able [to give] any instruction, 
nor to their people can they return. And the Horn will be blown; and at once 
from the graves to their Lord they will hasten. They will say, O woe to us! 
Who has raised us up from our sleeping place? [The reply will be], This is 
what the Most Merciful had promised, and the messengers told the truth.   

   http://quran.com/101/1-5 The Calamity! What is the Calamity? Ah, what will 
convey unto thee what the Calamity is! A day wherein mankind will be as 
thickly-scattered moths And the mountains will become as carded wool.

   http://quran.com/99 When Earth is shaken with her (final) earthquake And 
Earth yieldeth up her burdens, And man saith: What aileth her? That day she 
will relate her chronicles, Because thy Lord inspireth her. That day mankind 
will issue forth in scattered groups to be shown their deeds. And whoso doeth 
good an atom's weight will see it then, And whoso doeth ill an atom's weight 
will see it then. 

   http://quran.com/30/30 So direct your face toward the religion, inclining to 
truth. [Adhere to] the fitrah of Allah upon which He has created [all] people. 
No change should there be in the creation of Allah . That is the correct 
religion, but most of the people do not know.

 http://corpus.quran.com/search.jsp?q=trumpet

 Those mostly sound very similar to the Christian version (the Last Trump
- in this case meaning trumpet, or a similar instrument). The ultimate
wake-up call, which even returns the dead to life. Actually I'm surprised
that the Quran's version IS so similar, although I suppose I shouldn't be -
we now know that the Middle Eastern religions all have fairly similar
origins, I think? Plus links to the Egyptian religion (Jesus=Osiris etc,
IIRC) The Christian version involves the dead being resurrected physically,
reagrdless of the manner of their death or whether they were buried,
cremated, etc. This would cause the appearance of around 100 billion people
(if the introduction to 2001 is to be believed). Approximately one for
each star in the galaxy. (Maybe God will

No, I don't think the date is being moved - it will happen at its

History is mostly 'intelligent' 'educated' guesses at what may have been.
The archaeologists may be right or they may be wrong. As I believe the
scripture is from God, and as I take it literally, I believe that the
ancient civilisations were far mightier and very advanced, perhaps even
travelling to space or doing genetic experimentation. I know it sounds like
sci-fi and I need to put together some research to back it up, but the more
I study the Quran and look at world history and mythology, the more I'm
convinced of it. The civilisations which were destroyed must have been
transgressing, and corrupting and upsetting the balance in some terrible
way to have earned such annihilation. I think that had God not destroyed
them, they would have destroyed the planet and perhaps we would not be here
today.
Also note that according to the Quran, whenever such punishments were
executed, entire nations were obliterated from the face of the Earth --
only the few who had believed the Messengers survived with him.
Why would you expect the Divine intervention to appear through non-natural
causes, when all nature is at God's command?
