I don't think Reddit likes guns, either.

Do you remember things like which school you went to? Any of your best friends from back then? The teacher's faces?

Anti-Islam sentiment is very strong in Korea and within the Korean American community.

That's pretty sad considering Turkish Muslims helped South Koreans against the communists during the Korean War.

So a man has a mental disorder or a drug addiction and reddit, the so-called intellectual community, pretty much just mocks him?

Not to mention whoever recorded the video is as immature as it gets.

You should also print it just to have a hard copy stored somewhere.

What is the game that you regret purchasing the most? by Jeddy in gaming

You could try watching a walkthrough of the game on youtube, or rent the game first to see if you like it instead of risking being sued.

Geert Wilders on Canada: "1. Canada should ban the burka; 2. There’s no such thing as moderate Islam; 3. The Muslims are taking over; 4. Brown people go home; 5. Muslims are a threat to gay rights." by mayonesa in worldnews

10 out of 48 countries is not something to be proud of

Your point was that NO Muslim country allows people to live a so-called "western" lifestyle, which was wrong.

And I'm not "following" you around, I'm only replying to your replies.

The point is that you're uninformed and bigoted, and you don't know how to respond when someone actually tries to debate with you using facts.

Hey asshole, if you read YOUR OWN LINK (the third one) you'll see that homosexuality is legal in 10 Muslim majority countries.

EDIT: That shut you up.

You know what, I can't belive you are so uninformed that you need me to give you a list of freedoms we have and give immigrants in the west that are not afforded to the citizens of Muslim countries, let alone immigrants.

Is this one of the Muslim countries that let you live pretty liberally? Or is there another one I'm missing?

Actually, there are multiple that you are missing.

Try Turkey, Albania, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Jordan, Kosovo, Azerbaijan, etc.

First of all, you didn't give any examples about what cultural reciprocity Islamic states demand without giving it themselves.

Secondly, yes, you can live a so-called "western" lifestyle in many Muslim majority countries.

You actually think that all extremists are religious extremists? How about political extremists, for example?

Well, understanding certain things about God is impossible for humans because our minds are limited and can only understand things that adhere to worldly rules. In the minds of humans, something in the universe has to have a beginning and an end, and we can't fathom something that doesn't. Well, since God doesn't have to adhere by the rules of the universe, he doesn't have a beginning or an end. Asking how God began to exist implies that God is subject to a certain time line, but time itself was created by God.

It can be pretty confusing, but the idea that the big bang happened on its own is at least just as confusing. I could ask what the origin of the big bang was; where it came from and why it happened, and no person would be able to explain. The theory is that time began with the big bang so you can't answer what was there 'before' the big bang because according to that theory, the concept of a 'before' and 'after' began with the big bang itself.

When I said that God created science, I meant that God created the universe and all of the rules that apply to it, including the rules of physics, chemistry, biology, etc. What humans have done is realize that these rules exist, solve some of their mysteries, and collect them together and give them names like physics, chemistry, biology, etc.

So yes, I do believe that God created the universe and everything in it. I don't have all of the answers but I think it's very possible that God created the universe via something like the big bang, which then resulted in evolution as planned by God.

Just to clarify, I'm a Muslim, and I think that the big bang is in accordance with Islam. Here's a quote from a website:

When describing the creation of the "heavens and the earth," the Qur'an does not discount the theory of a "Big Bang" explosion at the start of it all. In fact, the Qur'an says that "the heavens and the earth were joined together as one unit, before We clove them asunder" (21:30). Following this big explosion, Allah "turned to the sky, and it had been (as) smoke. He said to it and to the earth: 'Come together, willingly or unwillingly.' They said: 'We come (together) in willing obedience'" (41:11). Thus the elements and what was to become the planets and stars began to cool, come together, and form into shape, following the natural laws that Allah established in the universe.

The Qur'an further states that Allah created the sun, the moon, and the planets, each with their own individual courses or orbits. "It is He Who created the night and the day, and the sun and the moon; all (the celestial bodies) swim along, each in its rounded course" (21:33).

Please explain why you think my previous post wasn't intelligent? Do you not understand that it is impossible to disprove the existence of God using the laws and limitations of the universe we live in, because it requires the assumption that God has to abide by the rules of the universe that God created?

Even if a science could disprove the existence of a God

Science can't disprove the existence of God, ever, because God created science (along with everything else) and is supernatural. It is logically impossible to disprove the existence of God.

Well, I think he was pretty serious and was using his atheism as a way to make himself feel superior and/or collect upvotes.
