Yeah, I've got no issue with Christian philosophy
It's the political side that I don't like
religion and politics should not mix, be it christian, islamic, or commie
Islam skips a step and writes the politics right into the religious text
im not an atheist, but ill admit you need to separate religion and government
i tried doing research on islam. the more i read the more it pisses me off
i bet everyone has a turn on ethics should the social order fall apart
It's unique in a lot of (horrifying) ways
The entire Koran is a political manifesto that lays out a theocracy
No room for interpretation of scripture. Hell, the biggest divide is over who Muhommad's rightful successor was
i have a super christian friend who described islam as 'satan's religion'. i laughed at him years ago. the more i read on it though, the more i find myself agreeing with him. if you wanted to control an entire population to make them do evil in the name of good, you couldnt do much better than islam
It's the only modern religion that I honestly believe was founded in bad faith
scientology... but yes, islam is worse
Judaism is essentially a collection of Hebrew folktales and customs
Mormonism.
True
Although I suppose we could argue that it's just a twisted denomination of Christianity, while Islam is its own thing
isnt mormonism basically christianity + aliens?
Yeah, and if I remember right, it was founded by a con artist.
Christianity took a lot of the more complicated stuff from Judaism and streamlined it into an easily marketed package
islam is not it's own thing about 70% of it is stolen whole cloth a reimagining of the torah
Well, most Mormons would call themselves Christian
hell the book even refers to a bunch of text in the bible and torah as required reading
@M4Gunner no
thats scientology. that was founded by a con artist
I guess this is more a matter of self-identification
When you rip out all the "borrowed" elements from the Torah and the Bible, Islam is almost purely political
good night f a g s
where does wahabi-ism come from?
saudi
I know that the big denominatonal split in Islam is over who should have succeeded Muhommad after he died
thats the shia, suni spilt Wahabi and Salafist are another thing
How did those come about?
rules on going to heaven
all Wahabi's think suicide is fine for war jihad and are suni, but not all suni think suicude for war is ok.
i might have the suni thing wrong but you get the point
Interesting, considering there's not a whole lot of room for subjectivity in Islam
yall speaking w e e b
but what do you define as good?
Meanwhile, Christianity forks itself over the most autistic shit
