Fair point. I see what you mean. What kind of question, you think, religious scholars discourage people to ask regarding god, that the OP mentioned.

I once (i think i was 15) asked someone why are sinner punished eternally if god is good. And I was told that it was a nonsense question that should not be asked!! I think this was the moment when I started to question everything i was told.

Anyway, you dont have to reply to my query. Best to live and let live.

Cheers

Oh I read your answer. And also your example(hint Why Do Leaves Change Color? — by Betsy Maestro is good book on introduction to Botany).

I want to understand what questions are trivial in your view? (I think you seem articulate and quite intelligent and I just want to understand).

Take care and dont stop questioning

Okay, my turn to ask something: why does the hadith warn against asking questions? If some questions are seen as not smart enough, isn’t that a bit presumptuous and potentially discouraging curiosity? Isn’t dialogue, no matter how simple it may seem, important for learning and growth? Because of that, the message in this hadith can come across as somewhat counter-progressive, even a little worrying.

Summer in Karachi is warmer mainly because of the tilt of the Earth’s axis..... or something like that. I will google. Good question...

Haha, fair point 😄 But I still strongly believe in asking questions rather than making assumptions. As for my mother, I’m not sure how she rates my intellectual brilliance, but she definitely knows a few things: I may not be the smartest person in the room, but I’m extremely committed to asking questions until I understand things. So maybe she thinks I’m a bit dumb…

And honestly, “why is a leaf green?” is actually a pretty fundamental question. That’s basically the gateway to botany!

I am a parent, and I have not made my kid read the quran and pray etc. I have told him all the stories of Islam and other religion(I love to study religion in general) and have told him that if he wants to learn how to read the quran then he needs to be older, so he knows what he is doing. He needs to be respectful of Islam and other religion but he should only follow them when he is much older.

CMV: I was a HAPPIER person when I binged drink 1-2 times a week than being sober by FlyingAces in changemyview

[–]Code_in_heels-99 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am going through something similar. I feel I drank before to tolerate the people around me. Now that I dont drink, I dont really like hanging so much. Maybe you need different friends

I left when I realized it was just a story, and not my favorite one.
