Most people don't just accept religion at face value, they examine it and ponder it and build their faith around thinking 'deeply' about the religion.

Really? I could think of many, many examples which prove the opposite.

But then if you can believe in aliens, why cant you believe in Allah who created this all in the first place? :blink:

Because there are so many religions, and they all think they're the "correct" one. This is a crappy analogy, but true:

On American Idol, all of those who audition believe they can sing.

Regarding religion, every faith believes it is the only valid one.

I'm sure this will fall on deaf ears, but what the hell. I think this is one time where I can truly say with a clear conscience to suppress your opinions. They are not constructive. All they are doing is creating division within the forums. I swear, these threads should be banned, all it does is create a atheist/religion melee.

Do the forum and yourself a favour, and don't rant on about why christians are morons or why athiests are sinning evils. Just leave it be.

Religion is good as a moral basis for society, but nothing more. As science progresses it becomes more and more unlikely that a God exists, particularly not a Christian God. Notice that in recent years that as more and more people don't believe in religion that society's standards have dropped; it's a very interesting subject. It is the same with laws - laws were based upon a moral way of life; as laws now becomes token gestures and people with money can exploit them, it shows a reduction in morality and a decline in society. Laws and religion were designed to keep society in a managable state... as both decline, one will have to be re-emphasied - either a reinstation of religion (unlikely) or a dramatic reworking of the legal system.

And you just made my point. :rolleyes:

It is amazing that you can't see it.

i am getting what you mean :D

but, other religions do not have what it takes to show the world they are right.

i know tons of Christian Missionaries who have converted, now... they are missionaries, so they would have to see some very strong stuff to convert. no?

hahahaha! i had to laugh there :laugh:

did you not that the quran has got scientific proof in it, 1400 years ago?

even some scientists take guidance from the quran.

the quran has facts in there 1400 years ago, that modern science is discovering now!

I agree. I think that religion is a crutch.

To me, I don't really believe in choosing a religion. I've been a free thinker all this while. I believe in doing good and that no matter whether you are in a religion or not, it is something that we all should be moving towards - helping others, the needy and so on. Being in a religion does not mean anything because it is entirely up to the person to do what he/she wants, whether that person wants to commit a crime or help the poor, it is their own prerogative.

A religion can be considered as a guide, but I don't think that anyone should strictly follow it because that would mean a lot of unnecessary restrictions. While I know that some religions have restrictions for good or moral purposes, people should be allowed to choose what they want to do, what they want to eat, wear, places to go to, etc.

Besides that, it is also very silly to say things like "oh my religion is better than yours" and not to mention downright childish.

I'm not saying that being a religion is a good or bad thing, it has its own pros and cons depending on how you see it and what you choose to do or follow when you are in a particular religion. For me, i'm going to be a free thinker for the rest of my life because I don't like to be "tied" down to doing things that I don't want/feel like doing.

I believe that just as long as you know the difference between what is right and wrong and do good in this world, whether you belong to any religion or not does not matter at all.

ZAnwar, if you are a muslim, dont you ever again say that the only correct religion is Islam. Islam teaches us to have respect for all religions (all people of the book). Regardless of what you believe you have no right to say Islam is the correct religion. this is the problem, people that do not know any thing about religion usually reply to these types of threads, i am forced to step in before zanwar makes a fool out of himself and portrays a bad image of Islam.

I am a muslim and therefore i do believe in a higher power. for all of those who do not believe in such a force, i do respect all of you because we all have to find our own way. whether it is I who has found his way through Islam, or it is some one else who is living his life based ona different philosophy. ultimately we are all searching for the same truth.

thank you.

My point is not about being obligated or forced to do things like helping others and so on, these things should come straight from the heart, no matter whether your religion asks you to or not because we are all here as humans and that we should help one another, especially those in need of our help - we should give them all the help that we can give them, to our utmost power.

just because I call Islam the correct religion, dont mean that i dont respect them. Islam is the correct religion, if they all believe in God, fair play to em.

Zanwar, you really do not understand Islam.

"just because I call Islam the correct religion, dont mean that i dont respect them. Islam is the correct religion, if they all believe in God, fair play to em."

There is no "correct" religion. why do you think that in the Quran it never says Islam is the correct religion? Islam teaches us that we all have the same god, regardless of whether we are Muslims or Christians.

    • TerraMaster F2-425 Pro review: a low-powered Intel NAS that ships with AI (OpenClaw)

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a older F4-210 NAS, it is pretty basic, the CPU is not the fastest by a long way and only 1GB of ram, but it works fine. I don't understand the need for A.I in a NAS. It seems like A.i is being shoved into everything, if we like it or not. i will stick to my old Terramsater NAS, thankfully the OS is not being updated. Also, got myself a small NAs built using a Raspberry Pi 5. iy usesd less energy, so stays on all the time. As for the unit above, if it is as reliable as my old Terramaster Nas, then it will be a good unit.
    • Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Gemini in Google Sheets can now help you debug and fix formula errors by David Uzondu Google has started rolling out an update to Gemini in Google Sheets that allows the AI to diagnose and fix formula errors in one click, as long as your Workspace admin has Gemini for Workspace in Sheets turned on. According to Google, the new feature can handle pretty much everything from basic arithmetic to very complex calculations. This ability to debug formula errors comes about two years after Google introduced basic formula generation with Gemini in Sheets. To create a formula with Gemini in Sheets, you open a spreadsheet on your computer and click Ask Gemini in the top right corner. You can also enter an equals sign in any cell and use a shortcut like Ctrl + Alt + G on Windows and Chrome OS, or Command + Ctrl + G on macOS. Once you open the side panel, you write a natural language prompt using your sheet references. For example, you can ask Gemini to divide goals by games, or to find cell C1 in range D:G. If for some reason, the formula Gemini generated doesn't work, or maybe you wrote the formula yourself, you can troubleshoot the issue directly inside the grid. When a cell shows an error message, you hover over it and click "Fix". This action opens the side panel where Gemini analyzes the data structure and automatically applies the fixes when they are ready. You can cancel the process at any time by clicking stop in the side panel. Image via Google Google has been pushing its Gemini integration in Google Sheets for a while now, steadily moving AI features from side panels directly into user spreadsheets. Last year, the Mountain View giant shipped an =AI() Function in Sheets that allowed users to run translation and text generation directly inside cells instead of using the side panel interface. Earlier this year, the company announced that Gemini in Sheets had reached near-human expert performance, achieving a 70.48% success rate on the SpreadsheetBench dataset.

      I get what you are saying, If i go onto the Instagram site, it says log in with Facebook, but they are not allowed to link my account with Instagram until I do that. Maybe in the U.S, they can link them, but Privacy is not a thing in the U.S. the way things are going,l won;t be any better in the U.K.

    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By leonsk29 · Posted

      Exactly, this is just the beginning. I hope that by that time, our inept politicians devise something like a Universal Basic Income, because unemployment and poverty rates will skyrocket otherwise. And believe me, robots that perform physical work aren't a matter of IF, but WHEN. No career is truly safe from AI/robots, it's just a matter of time.
