It's the 21th century not the 9th but people are still babbling about evil
spirits!  But never mind, let's assume that the Devil does exist; I know
that history is written by the victors and the Devel seems to have come off
second best in that long ago war in heaven that Lucifer lost and exiled him
to hell, but from a strictly moral point of view can you think of anything
that demonstrates that Allah is morally superior to the Devil?   Mr.
Lucifer Beelzebub Satan may have been a bit naughty at times but he never
came close to committing the monstrous evils that Allah did, like torturing
millions of sentient beings that He created for an infinite and not just
astronomical number of years, or giving a young child bone cancer.

What the hell?! If Allah had an ounce of moral character He should be
asking for our forgiveness and stop demanding that we thank and love our
torturer.

What is inaccurate? More importantly, what is popularly believed and acted upon 
by the Uma, by, the Judges making Fatwas? Taquiyya, for the Qfar, won't help 
matters. It is ultimately how people behave, no matter what Quran, or Soonah, 
or Bukhari instructs. Beyond this, if God is logical, and I assume he is, then 
How does he do things like bring forth a universe. The How questions eclipse 
the Why questions. The How questions inform, the why questions close the 
pursuit of knowledge, suprisingly.

 If you concentrate on science there won't be much to say about Muslims.
   
Although Muslims make up 23% of the world's population since 1900 only one 
Muslim has won a Nobel Prize in science, Ahmed Zewail won for chemistry in 
1999. Abdus Salam won for physics in 1979 and his tombstone said "First Muslim

If you concentrate on science there won't be much to say about Muslims.  
Although Muslims make up 23% of the world's population since 1900 only one 
Muslim has won a Nobel Prize in science, Ahmed Zewail won for chemistry in 
1999. Abdus Salam won for physics in 1979 and his tombstone said "First Muslim 
Nobel Laureate", but the Pakistani government officially decreed that Abdus 
Salam  was NOT a Muslim and ordered that the word "Muslim" be erased from his 
tombstone.

Science can explain how a H-bomb works but says nothing about how or if they 
should be used, that is a function of the empathy of the bomb builder and his 
fear of retaliation. Islam can not say one intelligent word about how a H-bomb 
works or even how a conventional chemical explosive works, but that doesn't 
prevent it from telling people exactly how they should be used.  And Islam says 
you shouldn't have empathy for those who frequent a different religious 
franchise than your do, and it also says that you shouldn't fear death because 
if you do what Islam tells you to do then when you die you'll live forever in 
Santa Claus's workshop in the sky. So we have a combination of cruelty and 
stupidity, and that is a dangerous combination.  .

This is precisely what Neale Donald Walsch did ("Conversations with God" and 
associated website etc.) Well, he didn't so much start a religion as try to 
straighten peoples' heads out about religion generally.

He did this by assuming that the 'voice within' is God. We are therefore all of 
us God. Every conversation you have with yourself is a conversation with God. 
So, God is the Great Lapsed Solipsist who needs up to 7 billion differing human 
perspectives to get a feel for himself. Every solipsist is a tile in a gigantic 
mosaic consisting of other solipsists. The net result of all these parallel 
inputs is presumably what God is plugged into. 

Solipsism the philosophical stance is not a philosophy at all because if real, 
it cannot be argued with.  Solipsism is probably nothing more than the 
perception of that truth. If I can call myself a solipsist and find evidence 
for that then solipsism must be real and that settles it then. There is only 
one mind. A "solipsistic person" would be one who merely asserts a simple 
truth. I tend to think that solipsism is the opposite extreme to fascism. A 
personality type, therefore. 

N'est-ce pas?

We can't.  We must solve the problems where they are.  But remember that those deadly

end "mass destruction" without the aid of such weapons.  And the imbalances in the 
ecosystem and species extinction are consequences of having more people with more material 
security, more freedom and better healthcare.  Your co-religionists do not propose to 
solve or even address these problems.  Their attention is on theological and territorial 
squabbles, and superstitious eschatologies.

No, it's a reason to get rid of scriptures and pay attention to people and the

Re: Quran Audio

2015-06-11 Thread spudboy100 via Everything List

I do not know if God is helping us. I do suspect that the only thing that we 
can ask God for strength, one can receive a boost of sorts. BB's are so 
fantastical that this seems to be unreal, though a serious conjecture. The 
"true God" phrase reminds me of the battle between immigrant Irish and local 
native protestant locals that were depicted in the movie. Gangs of New York. In 
the film, curses were shouted as well as challenges. One of these was, "Come 
meet the true God!"  You can see the same thing today with the conflict in 
Iraq, Syria, Saudi and Pakistan, between Sunni and Shia. Humbleness is always a 
nice aspect for people, but then so does musical talent. Welcome, but not 
essential. Monotheist doesn't always mean wise or kind, and Polytheist doesn't 
always mean crazy, of stupid, or even more bloodthirsty. It all depends on 
behavior.As far a God or no God, if there is a physical means for an afterlife, 
and that afterlife is good, then we may have the answer to 75 percent of human 
problems.

 Yes I see. For me, it's a struggle to get the "real world" to conform, 
nicely, to religious texts My experience of such texts and of life is that 
there is a divergence between the world we inhabit and what the old guys of the 
past wrote. As far as i am concerned, human beings (as horribly flawed as we 
are) come first, because we are weak, we are foolish, we are unreasonable, we 
are unintelligent, and rage full. I have seen the deeply religious of this 
world and they are quite good at hiding their flaws to the world, out of not 
only fear of the almighty, but out or bringing shame, brought to themselves and 
their group. We are the one's that require help, not God, yet, for inscrutable 
reasons He decline help. 

 


According to my understanding, God is continuously offering to help, while most 
of us stubbornly decline help. God will not impose faith and good deeds on us, 
we have to WILL faith and choose to be guided to the right course of action.
 

 

  
 This indicates that this big mind, will not, or cannot involve himself, again, 
inscrutable. Rather than beat up Mr. God, I would say we adjust our views 
religiously. If you want to study a physics speculation as delirious as any 
mad, religion, I would direct you to the Boltzmann Brains, named after 19th 
century thermodynamist, Ludwig Boltzmann. Fear not, Boltzmann was not a 
Yahhoodi, but a German, german. 

 


Why would I fear a ' Yahhoodi'? Jews are monotheists like Muslims, and the 
Quran is full of examples from Jewish history, to remind them that this is a 
continuation of the same message, and to guide us, lest we make the same errors 
that they did. Moreover, the Quran also speaks highly of the Jews who truly 
believe. I suppose the same is true for Muslims and people of other religions. 
God knows the hearts of all, and is best able to appreciate. 

 

 Anyway, he postulated that the cosmos needed an 'Observer' of some kind to 
operate. Moreover, that the observer(s) could be intelligent, and non-human, 
and having its own false memories of life, and also hyper-intelligent. Back in 
2007, Lenny Susskind (yahoodi) came up with a paper called, The Census Taker's 
Hat, which revisited Boltzmann's thermodynamics, and more or less supported 
these contentions. 


 


Interesting. I'll try to look it up later today.  

  
 Assuming that such things as boltzmann brains exist (some doubt) some have 
seen BB's as potentially, Jinn's, or Angels, or even God. Interesting 
speculation, and I ask, how does knowing this help us poor little humans? Ah! 


 


I suppose it helps us realise that there is much, much more to the larger 
picture than we humans can perceive, and thus we do need to seek guidance 
intelligently. Its humbling, and humbling before the One True God liberates us 
from humbling before all others. That is, I think, the most crucial role of the 
scriptures!

The difference between the three "Abrahamic" religions (according to Bill 
Maher):

Christianity = mumbling to the ceiling

Judaism = mumbling to the wall

Islam = mumbling to the floor

If this "John" is me:

to keep my reply short (concentrate on Islam) Why should I study scripts
the followers of which behead, flog, stone, dismember live humans and claim
full credit for such cruelty in the afterlife?

A reasonable person should run away from such inhumanity, especially after
our centuries of enlightenment.

Thanks for reflecting

Muslims are certain that the only path to heaven is in following the
teachings of Muhammad Allah's messenger, but Christians are certain that is
the path to being tortured fiendishly by a loving God for an infinite (and
not just astronomical) number of years.  Christians are certain that the
only path to heaven is to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ God's son,
but Muslims are certain that is the path to being tortured fiendishly by a
loving God for an infinite (and not just astronomical) number of years.

The Baha'i faith maintains that all religions are equally valid and I think
the Baha'i people have got it about right, they're all crap.

According to my understanding, God is continuously offering to help, while
most of us stubbornly decline help. God will not impose faith and good
deeds on us, we have to WILL faith and choose to be guided to the right
course of action.

Why would I fear a 'Yahhoodi'? Jews are monotheists like Muslims, and the
Quran is full of examples from Jewish history, to remind them that this is
a continuation of the same message, and to guide us, lest we make the same
errors that they did. Moreover, the Quran also speaks highly of the Jews
who truly believe. I suppose the same is true for Muslims and people of
other religions. God knows the hearts of all, and is best able to
appreciate.

I suppose it helps us realise that there is much, much more to the larger
picture than we humans can perceive, and thus we do need to seek guidance
intelligently. Its humbling, and humbling before the One True God liberates
us from humbling before all others. That is, I think, the most crucial role
of the scriptures!

John,
I wonder if you were studying the scriptures / ideologies as well? I get
the impression that you were studying the human condition: the results of
(mis)interpretations and (mis)applications of religions / ideologies and
naturally being revolted by it!
Throughout history, humans have pursued wealth, power, pleasures: desires
which within moral limits are permissible and constructive for the
evolution of society, yet humans have mostly transgressed all bounds and
have caused much suffering. What humans don't seem to understand is that
their actions are essentially self-destructive. According to my study of
the scriptures, time and again, whenever human civilisations advanced to
the point of self-destruction, the Most Compassionate, True God has
intervened, first by sending His Messengers and His Scriptures to warn
humans about their self-destructive actions, and then saving humanity by
wiping out those criminals who were bent upon destroying the world.
If, for a while, you can suspend the notion that we are the most advanced
that humans have ever been, and the notion that God is a terrible,
heartless person that people imagine; perhaps a (re)read of the scriptures
will help you realise that God is indeed the Most Kind and Most Loving, and
enable you to appreciate His Commandments as those which guide humans to
protect themselves from harm, lead to better their condition and enable
them to build a beautiful future!
Our world is also advancing towards self-destruction, all in the name of
progress, and we are setting humanity up for much harm and suffering. I
believe that since the last Messenger (Mohammad) and the last Scripture
(Quran) have arrived, now the time for humanity 'brief stay' on Earth is
coming towards its end. People of many faiths, including Muslims, are
awaiting the arrival of the Anti-Christ / Beast. It is stated in the Quran:
And when (is) fulfilled the word against them, We will bring forth for them
a creature from the earth speaking to them, that the people were, of Our
Signs, not certain. [http://www.islamawakened.com/quran/27/82/ ]
However, as each one of us is in pledge for our own beliefs and deeds, so
there is still hope for salvation and eternal bliss! God promises to help
and guide those who WILL faith and submit to God's guidance.

Yes I see. For me, it's a struggle to get the "real world" to conform, nicely, 
to religious texts My experience of such texts and of life is that there is a 
divergence between the world we inhabit and what the old guys of the past 
wrote. As far as i am concerned, human beings (as horribly flawed as we are) 
come first, because we are weak, we are foolish, we are unreasonable, we are 
unintelligent, and rage full. I have seen the deeply religious of this world 
and they are quite good at hiding their flaws to the world, out of not only 
fear of the almighty, but out or bringing shame, brought to themselves and 
their group. We are the one's that require help, not God, yet, for inscrutable 
reasons He decline help. 

This indicates that this big mind, will not, or cannot involve himself, again, 
inscrutable. Rather than beat up Mr. God, I would say we adjust our views 
religiously. If you want to study a physics speculation as delirious as any 
mad, religion, I would direct you to the Boltzmann Brains, named after 19th 
century thermodynamist, Ludwig Boltzmann. Fear not, Boltzmann was not a 
Yahhoodi, but a German, german. Anyway, he postulated that the cosmos needed an 
'Observer' of some kind to operate. Moreover, that the observer(s) could be 
intelligent, and non-human, and having its own false memories of life, and also 
hyper-intelligent. Back in 2007, Lenny Susskind (yahoodi) came up with a paper 
called, The Census Taker's Hat, which revisited Boltzmann's thermodynamics, and 
more or less supported these contentions. 

Assuming that such things as boltzmann brains exist (some doubt) some have seen 
BB's as potentially, Jinn's, or Angels, or even God. Interesting speculation, 
and I ask, how does knowing this help us poor little humans? Ah!
