AhlulBayt News Agency - ABNA - Shia News

"He added that one of the major causes of the spread of irreligiosity and atheism in the Islamic world is that some Muslim youth do not have the support for firm thinking and belief and cannot assess what they hear, especially since those who spread atheism spread their ideas with simple and comprehensible explanations for the youth."


"He added that some European countries have also opened the way for sexual freedoms which are hated and uncomfortable in the Islamic world."



You atheist need to STOP making sense or else...

Honestly? I heard that handing a gift of a Subway coupon for a free sandwich was too much for the atheists at the "Reason Rally". They called that act a "protest" and disallowed it. Seems to me to be a reaction by a group of people that are scared to answer the "why?" question.

I honestly haven't seen a lot of real, sound, critical thinking and logic from the atheists here, or elsewhere. I've read Dawkins and Hitchens....I wasn't impressed. They were more emotional than logical.

But this does show us what happens when religious people who have never really considered WHY they believe their religion are confronted with some simple questions.

LOL!

Well, you know what they say about leading a horse to water ...

In terms of "real, sound, critical thinking and logic," I've led you to enough water to float every ship ever built by humankind ... all at once ... and not only do you refuse to drink, you don't even recognize it as being water.

That's not my fault or my problem.

The truth is where it needs to be. It's up to you to decide what to do with it.

Yup. And I've observed that you can lead an atheist to evidence but you can't make him believe.

If you say so.

Just answer me one question: How did life begin? And don't make any assumptions.

You heard? And you believed them? Where was your critical thinking then?

I would decline a Subway coupon. Not even to give away to another. If I will not eat it, I would never give it to another. Subway is pretty awful stuff.

Let me know if anyone is offering Starbucks.

I like their salads. They are pretty good. I'm on a low-carb diet and it hits the spot. Of course, I live in a pretty rural area, where the closest "fast food" place is Subway--about 30 miles away. We have to drive over an hour to find a Starbucks.

I've heard enough of the story from different sources to believe it's true.

Someone who expounds logic and reason shouldn't have to resort to razor sharp snark, foaming biting type rhetoric which is your usual tone and content here. If you can't separate emotion from your reasoning then why should anyone trust it?

Yup, atheists are about the place confusing people with FACTS as opposed to subjective religious faith and it is clearly bothering some people.

Phfff! We all know it started when the biblical God reached down and grabbed some dirt and made a clay figure he breathed life into. Simple as that. It says so right there in the bible and that is FINAL and the way it really went down. Doubt it at your own risk!
