atheists believe in UN, human rights and similar but they mostly conflict with what they mean
They say they believe that, but those values are based largely on Christian values. There is no secular reason why any of those rights are real.
For example if an atheist leader wants to break human rights (like Sam Harris for example who thinks torture is a good thing to do) then what reason do they have not to do it?
I see most atheists focus on myths or scandals, they don't read theology
But then again, God guides who he wants to guide. There are many very smart and honest atheists. Like the philosopher J. L. Mackie (one of my main influences in moral philosophy). He wrote a great book called "The miracle of theism: arguments for and against the existence of God" which is probably the most comprehensive book on the subject. And even when he found arguments for the existence of God that he seems to think is both sound and seemingly valid that still doesn't make him believe in God. He just assumes that someone will find a good counter argument in the future. Ever since then I have not cared about arguing for the existence of God. Even if you convince someone that you have a good argument that doesn't make them believe in God. The belief that God doesn't exist is not something they have come up with by rational reasoning and therefore rational reasoning can not lead them out of it. They are completely blocked of from the almighty majesty of the universe, creator of the universe. Until they change so that they please the Lord.
@Deleted User Devon completely gave up racism and anti-Semetism (although I think he still somewhat had an 'it's the jews' though not nearly as pronounced as before), but he still liked elements of fascism like authoritarianism and excessive militarization. I would've only gave it time before he gave those up as well.
Devon is completely Salafi now
I've just witnessed a young woman who left Islam for the sole reason to have sex with her friends at college.
Worst part: I was going to ask her hand in marriage.
Salam brothers
Walaikum Salam brother
How are you
Fina Alhamdulillah
Alhamdulillah
You mind if I ask you where you’re from?
I'm from Brazil
Oh subhanallah
Are you a revert brother?
Yep
Alhamdulillah
Wallah 😂
Ya Allah you meant Islamic year
My bad brother
Yes, Anno Hijri
Bellator: Allah saved you from a degenerate with that girl. Are you Brazilian? My mother is from Brazil, but my father is Norwegian.
What a coincidence
My mother is also from Brazil, but my father is American
That is great, haha!
I have lived in Brazil since i was 3 though...
I have lived in Norway my whole life (except I also lived two years in Scotland)
Where in Brazil? How is it to be Muslim in Brazil? I assume they better understand the idea of believing in God (something that is completely alien here in Europe)
What do you do otherwise? Work? Study?
I live in a city next to São Paulo, the biggest one in Brazil.
The people react with curiosity when I tell them that I'm a Muslim
In general, they don't have any idea of what Islam is
And they get surprised of how Islam is close to Christianity in terms of belief
The worst part though is the muslim community itself
At least where I live
I try to keep it a secret at first. But when asked I tell. I remember one guy at work who was completely shocked and disappointed. He said "But you are highly educated in the sciences?!" and he stopped himself from saying "what is wrong with you?". He just turned quiet and completely baffled.
Many people here call themselves Christians, but most don't believe in the Bible or God (according to the Eurobarometer from 2005, only approximately 25% of Christians in norway say they believe in God.) so they consider Islam a bizarre religion.
Although atheists aren't many, most people here act like them.
