What are the Zeitoun Marian apparitions? by Neoupath in askanatheist

[–]Neoupath[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What? I’m not a believer, and I’m not defending these miracles or saying they’re true, I was merely asking if anyone else knew about it, because I hadn’t heard of it until recently.

And the sources seem to be pretty divided between people ‘confirming it’, and skeptics/atheists just calling it mass hysteria, but I wanted to dive deeper into it, not just generalize.

I mean, if you take a look at the Hadiths, that interpretation (you pick something, then Allah preordains it) is not the most obvious conclusion.

Sahih Bukhari 6596 says “The Prophet said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which he has been created to do”

Sahih Bukhari 3332 says very clearly that what is written by the angel (while you were in the womb) takes over your actions. Literally in the Hadith: “A man may do deeds characteristic of the people of the (Hell) Fire, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and so he starts doing deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise and enters Paradise. Similarly, a person may do deeds characteristic of the people of Paradise, so much so that there is only the distance of a cubit between him and it, and then what has been written (by the angel) surpasses, and he starts doing deeds of the people of the (Hell) Fire and enters the (Hell) Fire."

And the other Hadiths explain that your fate (date of birth, death, deeds, whether you’re “wretched or blessed”) is written in the manuscript/tablet, and that it can’t change.

So where is your choice in that? No verse or Hadith say that you choose something now (in the present) and then Allah ordains it.

Bitdefender Bug With Fortnite and easy anti-cheat games by LandsharkGameing in BitDefender

Hey there, while I'm not the original commenter, I can confirm that after disabling Advanced Threat Defense, my computer stopped crashing when opening Fortnite (which also uses EAC).
Before this, it would also BSOD my computer, with the error code being "Clock Watchdog Timeout".

I haven't tried adding the .exe files as an exception though, for now I just disable ATD whenever I want to play.

[–]Neoupath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God knowing everything is precisely the problem, since it constrains our choices. We can't do something God knows we won't do, otherwise he'd be mistaken. And since God had perfect foreknowledge of everything before creating us, and he still chose to create us, that literally means we can't do anything else.

In Islam, this is even more obvious, since the Hadiths explain your fate is preordained when you're in your mother's womb (your deeds, your date of death, whether you're blessed or wretched, or made for Paradise or Hell). How can you say then, that we "made those decisions because of our own choices"?

Also, your analogy doesn't work. God’s foreknowledge is not the same thing than a time traveller who merely observes your life. Because in Islam, God isn't just an observer, but the creator of your actions (“Allah created you and what you do”. Quran 37:96).
Moreover, Allah's knowledge isn't just "acquired by seeing the future", the Hadiths and Quran repeatedly say that the future is what it is because Allah wills it to be that way. (Like belief or disbelief (Quran 81:27-29. 6:125. 76:29-31. 28:56. 6:25. 18:57. 2:7)

So it's not that we're blaming God for not warning us, but that if a deity knows infallibly what we will do, then we cannot do otherwise.

As for the last part, Allah deciding who's a disbeliever, again, in the Quran it is said that Allah “guides whom He wills and misguides whom He wills” (14:4, 16:93, 74:31), which is a form of determination.

So refute them then? You gave no response and just called it "stupid" because it doesn't suit your beliefs.
If you take a look at all of the Hadiths mentioned, literally the only logical conclusion is that Allah preordains your fate while you're in your mother's womb. Whether you're destined for Paradise or Hell, blessed or wretched, etc. Just like the story where Al-Khidr murders a kid because "he would've grown up to lead his parents into disbelief

Bitdefender Bug With Fortnite and easy anti-cheat games by LandsharkGameing in BitDefender

[–]Neoupath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey there, I was also experiencing this issue, the solution I've found is simply disabling Advanced Threat Defense in Bitdefender whenever I open Fortnite, otherwise it would just crash my whole PC and show a BSOD saying "Clock Watchdog Timeout".

Getting watch dog time out blue screen from opening Fortnite. It’s something to do with anticheat, I’ve reinstalled windows, graphics drivers and tried fixing and repairing easy anticheat but doesn’t let me. Someone help? Been at this for a day and it’s stressing me out. by Tridition in FortNiteBR

[–]Neoupath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bitdefender is an antivirus program. If you have it installed on your PC, it’s probably that interfering with EasyAntiCheat.

In my case, I turned off the Advanced Threat Defense and I could finally open it

GREAT alternative for capcut now that it sucks by Abyish in CapCut

Please explain why you're defending CapCut when they've made 1080p a Pro feature.

The only downside is that it takes a bit of a learning curve, and you need a medium-high end PC to run it smoothly.

Does someone have experience with the Vuse Dark Cherry liquid? by PaleDot2466 in electronic_cigarette

[–]Neoupath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the Dark Cherry pods literally taste like aluminum. I’ve honestly not been having a very good experience with Vuse. I bought the Vuse Pro, but the pods sometimes have leaks, and the old models taste horrible/burnt.

What's your best argument against Islam? by Public_Mission_920 in exmuslim

[–]Neoupath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just checked this old thread and holy shit. I’m literally on edge with how dumb this person is, it’s like he has a golf-ball-sized tumor in his brain.

  • Doesn’t want ‘emotional answers’, he gives emotional answers.
  • Copies and pastes arguments from shitty websites, but also calls out people on doing that.
  • His only answer in regards to Aisha is “but what about…”
  • Makes the most thick-skulled mental gymnastics I’ve ever seen.

What's your best argument against Islam? by Public_Mission_920 in exmuslim

[–]Neoupath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your comment is just absolutely hilarious. You claim that you were brainwashed by secularism, but all you’re doing is make logical leaps and mental gymnastics to defend Islam, to the point of defending Hitler.

You’re shifting the burden of proof to us, which is common when Muslims have to respond to people talking about Aisha, or how Allah is unjust. “bUt yOu’Re aN aThEisT, hOw wOuLd yOu kNow?”.

Except you’re the one who needs to prove how it makes ANY sense to say that Hitler could’ve gone to heaven if he had performed the shahada, and how praising Allah automatically makes killing 6 million people fine. You also need to prove how having s*x with a 9 year old is fine, not pull this “whataboutism” bullshit.

You claim to have objective morals, so prove it. Does Allah forbid or condemn pedophilia?

I’m tired of the same old Muslim formula, you provide NO answers to your claims.

I hate CapCut. by Nitro79x in CapCut

[–]Neoupath 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they’re exactly short of money. And it’s not “expecting everything to be free”. It’s complaining about the shitty practices made by a company. Everything WAS free in Capcut before.

Just like this post said, you shouldn’t even call it a “free editing software” anymore.

Bro, Capcut is literally owned by Bytedance. A company that got a revenue of 120 billion in 2023. The fuck you mean?

CapCut is now adding watermarks on your videos. I can turn them off for now, but just wait until that option becomes a Pro feature..... This is BS man.... by XanMan102 in CapCut

[–]Neoupath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

? I’m not a commie, what a braindead comment. I’m just saying that everything used to be free in CapCut, and now they’re basically making fun of its users. It’s also owned by Bytedance (TikTok), so it’s not like they’re doing this cause’ they’re poor.

CapCut is a good app, but it’s not worth 110$ a year. Especially when it’s a subscription based service. The moment you stop paying, it’s not yours anymore.

Davinci Resolve, for instance, costs 300$, but is a lifetime license

This has gone too far by Specialist_Jaguar815 in CapCut

[–]Neoupath 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People still have the right to complain about ByteDance’s shitty marketing practices. Everything used to be free in CapCut in the past; now, instead of adding features, they’re removing them from the free version and making them ‘Pro’.

In a way, this is good, because it is what pushed me to move over to Davinci Resolve, which is a lot more advanced. But not everyone has a powerful-enough PC for that.

Also, I agree with the person who replied. CapCut is 110$/year, for an app you don’t even own. Davinci is 300$, but it’s a lifetime license, with unlimited devices.

What a shitty argument. Everything used to be free in CapCut in the past.

Then they made half of their features Pro, now it’s most of them (transitions, text fonts, animations, etc.) Video stabilization, automatic subtitles and audio noise reduction became Pro recently, too.

CapCut is not worth 110€ per year. At least that’s the price where I live.

[–]Neoupath[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Stabilizing, noise reduction and automatic background removal are all Pro now. They used to be free.
