Euw I hate that word.

And let’s not pretend that NYU is anything like Bronx Community College or Seton Hall.

Wait, you think there are “smart” kids at NYU. I went there.. and let me tell you something, yeah its not really top tier, and most of the kids there are from NJ trying to live up a “NEW YAWK” life, and pretending they are trendy and cool and intellectual. A majority of the time they are retarded.

consfusedaboutlife: you really ARE confused about life!

contrary to the lies that religion teaches people, you can have a wonderful, productive and happy life without believing in any religion whatsoever.

1.1 non-religious people exist in the world. they aren’t killing themselves for example and are mostly happy and content.

salahudin- if people did no have faith , everyone around us would be commiting suicide , because what hope would their be left to live with ?!
religion gives people hope , people make hate , not the actual religion itself .

Im shocked by what you wrote , that people still think that all arabs are muslim , its like christians when they turn around and say 2 you but you believe in Allah , Im like no , that is the arabic word for god ,a christian arab would call god allah .
people don’t know , then again were all ignorant in different ways are we not ?

i never claimed i’m completely objective all the time. i know human limitations, thank you.

as for assuming you’re a mirror of the way i was & for the strong opinion on theists:

you’re right. my bad; i wasn’t feeling very constructive when i wrote that. heh.

i take it back and apologize.

“you know what qualifies my opinion over yours? I’ve been a Muslim and i used to think exactly like you. no one could get through to me, no matter how strong” their arguments against Islam…
It’s clear you don’t know my thought nor do you know anything about me and my struggle with religion so I don’t think you should discredit it so fast. Just because you left it does not make you some kind of an expert on it. Some people that left it don’t know a lick about it.I don’t come from an environment where Islamic criticism is taboo. You shouldn’t assume people are afraid of criticism. You claim to be completely objective, I don’t think that’s possible. I know I’m not objective but I do know that what brought me back to Islam was my thinking critically about things and much research. So again you shouldn’t assume me to be a mirror of you.
I don’t think the arguments against Islam are strong. (shrug)

“the people who opt for religion are either misguided or brainwashed.”

You sound like a Christian fundamentalist or a Muslim extremist.

All you have to do is replace the word religion with atheism or another religion
