atiguhya padma
notice that.... We.. is started with a capital letter in The Holy Koran and also notice other pronouns like He ..Him also adjectives like ...Almighty... all refered to Allah the Merciful Creator..that you may understand if you want open your heart and your eyes and think positive
Erm... what r u going on about? was that supposed to answer my question? I don't really care whether its capital letter or not. Being a humanist, and a rationalist, I'm unlikely to use capital letters in such ways.
Did I tell “You can’t” or "You mustn't"? I used expression “It mustn’t be done!”. There is so much stuffs that we mustn’t do: we mustn’t steal, kill, eat unwashed fruits, offend others, prostitute and etch. For me comparing GOD is sin. As you told about democracy I have also rights to say what I think. I hope you don’t think that I better keep silent scaring that it may be gotten like undemocratic post. By the way don’t believe Subterranean about my country. As I don’t know from where he/she is, I am not able to compare how similar our countries regarding this subject. But I must say the winds of democracy are blowing in my country since USSR was collapsed. (The only problem of my country is corruption. The government officers (taking bribe) theirselves arrange necessary documents for ones who want to get citizenship of Europe countries -as the better way to get citizenship is to prove (with documents) that you left your country because there’s no democracy and you were pressing by government.)Quote:

Honestly my knowledge in Islam is very little, I put here only my thoughts. To tell truth I've read 8th surah after question of A.P.
It’s better first read Islam history, then The Koran.Quote:

Saying WE GOD means HIMSELF. I think as saying “I” might seem vaingloriously GOD call Himself as “WE”. I think so, maybe there’s another explanation.Quote:

Dear, Green Utopia, great thanks for your doas(pray) for me.
I think you shouldn't react so abruptly. What would you feel if you were me and got such guestions from your countrymen or from your friends . Your English can't be worse than mine- it really would be very interesting to read your posts, as you have quite good knowledge. I would like to get something new for me from them.
salam caspian,,
You're welcome dear
Well as long as the expression "it mustn't be done" doesn't mean that I can't compare Allah to whatever I want to, then that's fine. I mean there is a big difference between your examples of killing etc. To kill someone really mustn't be done, unless under exceptional circumstances. To compare Allah to anything else is merely a conceptual exercise, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with that in my book. So I shall continue to make comparisons that involve Allah.
AP, I thought as a humanist, and a rationalist, you're unlikely to use capital letters in such ways...as in Allah or God
(I'm just babling there)
Your quite right SubT. I think I just probably treated them as names, like Subterranean or Atiguhya Padma. But you are right. I shouldn't encourage such religious nonsense as may be interpreted from such usage.
AP
Well I'm not saying that I share your opinion there, cause I do embrace a particular belief. I just want to see a consistency.
:)
Cheers Andy
It's called respect...Quote:

purposely misunderstanding you..- if you dont believe in a religion then i personally think you have no right to say its nonsense yeah?
Why should I respect something I don't believe in? and why should capital letters denote respect? Its only a different way of typing a letter for chrissakes! Get real.
Do I have to have a right to say anything???
There are lots of things I don't believe in. Not believing in something doesn't take away the 'right' (whatever that means) to say something about what you don't believe in. Are trying to say atheism is redundant? that somehow you can only speak on religion, politics, literature etc if you believe in it?? What are you, the speech police??
well i mean... you dont have to believe in something to have respect for it...
and god no im not a freaking speech police... i dont care if you can or cannot have your own right or whatever..i wasnt even asking or talking about that
Every religion has its ups and downs, no one is more violent then the other and i guess when we come to the Koran, Bible and other religous texts from those lines of religion we're asking ourselves to kind of judge them from our own backgrounds... i know its hard not to I started reading the bible from and Agnostic point of going in there looking for all these problems and all these hatefull words and passages and I realized that that's not what the religion is about to begin with, that the people are violent and that their are the goods that may be harder to find because human mind always looks for the issues. :argue:
Jester, wish you would have use more comma ' ,' or a period '.'..or anything else, of course where they are applicable. Would help to understand a post for slow person like me ;)
Hi Kushi, personally you should care, coz i think this is one of our main fundamental rights, which is to have the freedom to say what we think. Ignorance could lead to an awful excess.Quote:
