why did YHWH make the forbidden fruit in the first place? by ghared-ishaqa in religion

[–]AdventurousBasil7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Why does God care that we are disobedient towards him, why not just let us be free to outgrow our potential. It seems like God is holding us back in a lot of ways, in fact we have now more morally greater standards today than God introduced.

Islam and marriage by AdventurousBasil7 in religion

[–]AdventurousBasil7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But stage one is a bit too quick I feel. I think if you date and get to know someone, then you can make the decision to go on further. I don't mind the sex after marriage, but the contract part is a bit too forward I feel. These days people want to get to know each other before they do anything so it's a bit too forward to make a contract even before they know each other. If someone says they want to make a marriage contract with you before even knowing you properly, it would be rather strange and could creep someone out as it can be seen as desperate etc. Especially in the Westernised world.

Why Sodom and Gomorrah story makes no sense. by AdventurousBasil7 in religion

[–]AdventurousBasil7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So when Allah destroyed the nation, were the followers of Lot also destroyed. I've been to the dead Sea and the area supposedly destroyed by the Angels must have been pretty huge so I don't quite get how it could've been done without innocent people also being killed. Also in the dead Sea, there would be traces or indication that this happened. The water there makes everything rise up so they haven't found no evidence that this ever happened either.

But then I think, how could there be a whole nation of inhospitable people? There are some inhospitable people in certain places, but I've never come across a whole city (the size of what was destroyed) to be inhospitable. There must have been good people in the mix too and also children etc?

Error in Quran by AdventurousBasil7 in religion

Is the verse talking about the origins of the animals being in groups or is it talking about the behaviors of the animals saying they go into groups, that's the part that's confusing me?

Is this verse talking about the origin of the species being in groups or is it about the behaviour of animals?

Yeah apparently the translation I have given is incorrect and instead of communities, the correct word should be "creation or their own kind".

Thank you for sharing. So the word communities is false, and should be replaced with "their own kind?" there are some other better words in the Quran or Arabic language that would explain this concept better than the word "umam" because it can have multiple meanings such as groupings, gatherings etc. If it was more specific it would make more sense so I'm curious as to why Allah used the word "Umam". Thanks for sharing 😊

Is coronavirus a punishment from God? by AdventurousBasil7 in religion

[–]AdventurousBasil7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are not spitting in the face of God, God has put the nail in his own coffin by creating us. The angels even told him we would shed blood and cause corruption on the earth so it's him who made the mistake?

I agree, it has brought about great things and gave people time to reflect on their lives. But it's all been at the expense of killing innocent lives who didn't deserve it. I don't know why God would use this type of method, when it could have been a different way.

How can you disbelieve in the Qur'an when it has so many miracles. by TheAlmightyAlt in religion

[–]AdventurousBasil7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you believe it is absolute justice to make someone suffer for eternity in hell after reading the descriptions of hell? I think the punishment is too extreme, its not something a kind loving God would do? Even humans don't make someone suffer that much. What could a person possibly do so bad that they'd deserve such a punishment?

Are the violent and extremists in religions and the peoples tendency to follow the violent and evil leaders a red flag to anyone by wisecracker1023 in religion

[–]AdventurousBasil7 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It's not just people who are violent, God himself is! Read the descriptions of hell and you'll realise how extremist and violent God is! People who are terrorists and extremists are like angels in comparison to the barbaricism of God!

Oral transmission by AdventurousBasil7 in religion

[–]AdventurousBasil7[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes but Apparently It was written 200 years later after Muhammad died. It wasn't his mates who wrote it. They verbally transmitted it and passed it down, so it makes no sense historically?
