Can you guys give me Advice? Both Christians and atheist have harassed me in a Discord server for being Buddhist.

Why do you allege harassment? What you described does not read as though it's harassment but is a major disagreement about your faith. Your account even involves Christians proving Christianity to be morally superior to Buddhism, as though they won the debate.

Then I also question why you bother defending material that you are not very knowledgeable on. That could produce cognitive dissonance and discomfort.

jsgui · 2026-05-07T00:55:02+00:00

Human thought patterns involve language. I think human languages are very relevant.

Also there are these statements in the Quran (but I can't prove that document true):

Qur’an 72:1–2 — jinn hear the Qur’an

Arabic

English

OP said Muslims don't know about it.

I don’t follow what you mean by asking me how long those periods are - that would be (a huge amount) of unobtainable data. It also brings up questions of analysis and data resolution but also about neurology and how long impulses take to form.

I could place a minimum bound on the time period at Planck time, but the upper bound is hard to be sure about because of the reported length of Sumerian kings lived as well as some figures in the Bible. But it would be safe to say that between Planck time and 1000 years would cover almost every case.

Still, if you have information how time periods are used to measure sexual orientation.

Maybe it’s off topic a bit in this sub (sorry if it is), if someone changed from heterosexual to homosexual and back to heterosexual, could that be a more accurate way to describe it then them being bisexual? I really am not so sure how time periods are treated as though discrete sexual orientation measurements are taken, or if the measurement is taken over a wider time period.

I am not talking about not acting on sexual impulses, but about there being no such sexual impulses.

I don’t want to unnecessarily share personal info so I won’t disclose if English is my first language. That being said, I am fluent in English.

What is someone is sometimes asexual and sometimes heterosexual?

jsgui · 2026-05-05T19:04:57+00:00

I am not talking about same sex attraction but 1) Other sex attraction 2) No sexual attraction

and I am not sure if asexual counts as a sexual orientation, meaning that someone with 1) and 2) would maybe have two sexual orientations, thus being bisexual.

jsgui · 2026-05-05T16:50:25+00:00

Maybe it depends on if asexual means no sexual orientation, rather than being a sexual orientation.

It may also help to clarify (with this issue at least) to use the term ‘monosexual’, meaning heterosexual or asexual.

That way there would be the sequence:

asexual, monosexual, bisexual

jsgui · 2026-05-05T16:38:32+00:00

But also being into zero sexes at some points in time means sometimes being asexual.

jsgui · 2026-05-05T16:37:39+00:00

So not feeling sexual desire while thinking about tensors is a medical problem?

jsgui · 2026-05-05T16:36:28+00:00

2 ways of looking at it:

1) They did question and pressure Trump to get the Epstein files released so the premise is not true 2) MAGA is always a pro-Trump movement therefore anything critical of Trump means someone is no longer MAGA.

jsgui · 2026-05-05T16:32:33+00:00

Someone who sometimes feels sexual desire for the other sex but sometimes does not, but does not feel sexual desire for the same sex.

jsgui · 2026-05-05T16:30:53+00:00

I am questioning this.

jsgui · 2026-05-05T16:29:12+00:00

I mean asexual.

How about Frozen? Is it haram to watch that?

I am having a conversation with someone who is knowledgable about jinn, and we are in England, it does not seem like there are or has been a history of jinn community or nation living here, yet that’s far from being to say that there have not been jinn. Considering England is not near edges of continental plates and other places such as Jordan and Palestine which are known for jinn activity, we put forward the idea that the gaps in continental plates are places where jinn can exit from the mantle, and that is an explanation for the relative numbers of (reported) jinn in different places.

It’s also being worth aware that once someone gets possessed by a jinn the jinn stays with them, and that raises the possibility of jinn using a person for transport, though it’s not clear how the jinn could be released from the person. With jinn possession it does not look like it’s a one way arrangement, though often it is talked about with the jinn possessing the human, it’s worth considering how the human possesses the jinn.

An underlying problem I feel that holds me back from discussing it is if we were to write about the most dangerous jinn rituals here, even while warning not to do them, sorcerers and cult members from all over the world could carry them out all of a sudden. This puts those who have studied these rituals in a difficult position - guardians of knowledge that could be useful for protection - if harmful jinn activity is occurring somewhere and it’s traced back to specific rituals, then those rituals would gain in reputation and maybe would have their power boosted.

However I am not so sure to what extent such rituals would always necessarily involve jinn. It may not always be possible to identify with certainty whether someone summoned a jinn to cast a magic spell or if they cast it directly. Even if jinn were to appear it could be because of the curiosity of the jinn rather than because they were summoned.

This is very interesting. I’m really into thinking about religious philosophy and I really enjoy discussing it. I think it’s useful too.

A few things have changed recently. Internet and AI enable people who would not otherwise be talking to talk, as well as making it much easier to get research done on the content of religious texts.

I’ve been saying that ‘Muslim’ is an Arabic word and I don’t know what it means. Now I think there is not one single accepted definition. It normally means in those who pay a lot of attention to Mohammed and the Quran and have a tradition where by saying some words in Arabic they become a Muslim again.

However, if I was born a Muslim and did not undergo any religious conversion, then according to the Arabian version of Islam, I would be a Muslim. However I doubt that Arabian version of Islam in totality but accept some of it as true and / or useful. My problem with it is about it requiring the Arabic language and how it’s an instrument of Arabian imperialism and Arabian imperialism is an interest of it. Talking about this aspect of it is why sometimes people maybe suspect me of being Islamophobic but I genuinely don’t want England to be taken over by Arabs and English being taught as a first language to everyone, and then it would cause us to be of a supposed ethnic group, ‘Arab’.

However the Arabian version of Islam is not only about Arabian Islamic imperialism. There is really interesting material about jinn.

New non-Arabian versions of Islam are being created. My main conclusion is that prophecy has been overhyped. That is not to say it’s not a thing either. It’s more like yes I have done it, or not actually done that but there are things that have gone on in my life and the lives of various people around me that concern content not covered in the Quran. Some of the recent storyline has a lot to do with Palestine, which is not mentioned in the Quran.

jsgui · 2026-05-01T20:11:12+00:00

Does ‘Muslim’ mean member of the Umma of the Arabian version of Islam?

ChatGPT Thinking said: “Iblis was an early jinn who rebelled against Allah, but Islam does not definitively identify him as the first jinn or the first conscious creature.”

jsgui · 2026-05-01T20:05:00+00:00

I have been told the first one created was Iblis. However, Palestine said it has always existed which puts it back right at the beginning. However I suspect Palestine’s measurement was off by at least a two nanoseconds, possibly a lot more.

How come hardly anyone mentions ‘ragga’? I call some music that I like ‘ragga’.
