i didn't know that either i thought he wrote it himself

Yeah

A very trustworthy professor I had knew about mohammed pretty well

if you're interested i can dm you his channel looks like he's still uploading regularly

That would be great!

Thank you :)

aren't ex-muslims in danger of being killed for leaving islam?

Yes

I believe there is a possible redeeming thing that can be done, but I could be misremembering that

so it's an extremely difficult decision for these people to denounce islam under threat of death. he must live in a country that allows freedom of religion if he's able to make these videos

A lot of muslims live in America when they leave the religion

Which is thankfully at this time still freedom of religion

makes sense

yeah they tried to take that away too though

happy that Trump has put God back into the White House when previous administrations kicked Him out

Same.

An ironic thing, people bring up philosophers as a way to disprove God. But if they read up on what some philosophers thought of as a utopia, they would learn that philosophers said that god to believe in would help the people

Which I know is random in this topic

i've never really listened to philosophers talk or read idk was just somethin that never really intrigued me

I am heavily interested in old civilizations. So I tried to be informed as best as I can be.

i kinda see them as people just interpreting life

Some where yes. Others tried to perfect life

Or knowledgeable men

idk striving for perfection can be pretty damaging imo

*looks at history* yeah, it depends on the perfection

we are flawed beings, perfection is impossible to achieve

I am a Christian. I strive to be like Jesus but know I will never be perfect

Nor can I ever be

we are, but striving for it should be our goal, the real question is who defines perfection, and what is perfection

It depends. By the Bible? God. Worldly? It depends on the nation

i guess what i'm tryin to say is needing everything to be perfect can end up being overwhelming

because we just aren't going to be able to have it not as earthly beings anyway

Sparta, was the best soldiers. Old Germany? Well uh, consult the history books

i have question: how can we discuss religion without debating validity of it?

By discussing the difference in beliefs

It can be done. This day and age is used to having to defend themselves from any conversation though

It is also easier done in person. Tones cannot be heard in text

how do you talk about things like the earlier topic without making the other person feel attacked apparently i do it all wrong

i just literally feel disgust when i see things from the quran tbh i really don't like that particular religion so perhaps i should just avoid anything to do with it cuz i point out the crappy parts of it and then people get upset and it spirals

Well. If it stirs up anger in you and is in this chat, sometimes it is best to wait until someone else can respond who can do some buffering.

and then i wonder why they're upset they should know what's in the book so why would they be upset when someone points it out
