UmmHurayra:
First off, why do some of your use foul language , such as f word and describing certain parts of the female anatomy, that is offensive to me.

Only YOU can give a word the power to be offensive. The only word I find offensive is "Agnostic." And I find it offensive because the true meaning of the word is "without knowledge." I ain't without knowledge. I have some knowledge. And I shall be first to admit I do NOT know everything. In fact, I know VERY LITTLE when it comes to the complete sum of all knowledge that has been recorded.

Anyway, if the language usage here is offensive, then go away. As Chimp3 said, "You ain't my mommy."

UmmHurayra:
Don't your rules in this site state that you shouldn't use such language?

No. Here are the guidelines:

I see nothing that says anything about "offensive" language. Here are some excerpts from the book I am writing:

Political Correctness Definitions
1) The avoidance, often considered as taken to extremes, of forms of expression or action that are perceived to exclude, marginalize, or insult groups of people who are socially disadvantaged or discriminated against.

2) The term political correctness is used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage members of particular groups in society. Since the late 1980s, the term has come to refer to avoiding language or behavior that can be seen as excluding, marginalizing, or insulting groups of people considered disadvantaged or discriminated against, especially groups defined by sex or race. In public discourse and the media, it is generally used as a pejorative, implying that these policies are excessive.

Below is my definition, henceforth, that I shall forever use for that bullshit policy known as Political Correctness...

Political Correctness is a hypothesis created by cruel and heartless persons and spread by an uncaring and unscrupulous media in the belief that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by its clean end.

I shall be the first to admit that I never truly attempt to purposefully offend anybody; however, it is impossible to live in this world and NEVER offend. And always think of this: Only YOU can give a word the power to offend YOU.

UmmHurayra:
The other thing I would like to say, stop generalising about all religions. All religions are not the same. And whatever you saw ,read and heard about Islam, please disregard it. You cannot look at the Muslims around you and think that represents Islam. That just isn't fair. And don't turn to some online version of the Quran, I have read these online verses and I can tell you it is not accurate. I think most of you are misguided when it comes to what Islam is about. Which I don't blame you for. You need good unbiased knowleable Muslims explaining the deen to you but I know that is hard to find. Even as a Muslim my search was painful but with perseverance I am at a place now I feel at peace with.

Let's go back to school... Some of this you may find offensive. However, it also the truth...

What Absolutists Abdicate and Abandon For Their Faith

Critical Thinking: The objective analysis and evaluation of an issue in order to form an objective judgment.

Analytical Thought: The abstract separation of a whole into its constituent parts in order to study the parts and their relations in a coherent and logical process.

Deductive Reasoning: A process of reasoning from one or more statements or premises to reach a logically certain conclusion.

Rational Thought: Having reason or understanding to reflect on and to exercise the powers of judgment, conception, or inference in orderly ways or processes.

Logical Reasoning: The process of using a rational, systematic series of steps based on sound procedures and given statements to arrive at an objective conclusion.

Absolutists give up the above for this...

Faith: The practice of training one's mind to ignore evidence, logic, and reason, while being able to believe in fairy tales, and being proud of it rather than ashamed. Your biblical definition for faith is just a cop-out for the true definition.

And what I find most shameful is that some otherwise very intelligent people sacrifice that intelligence for their faith. Damnit, what the hell is wrong with you people? One of you could actually be the next Nobel Prize winner who discovers something so profound...

I have never truly believed in ANY religion, especially the Absolutist religions. There is no philosophical ideology more divisive than religion. And, the worst part of ANY religion is that it is an ideology that is implicitly and explicitly protected from any and all criticism from both within and without. [Which you have just proven with your post...] Why should any ideology, especially religion, be so privileged? Can you not see how disastrous this way of thinking can be, and is? I firmly believe, and shall take this belief to my grave, that the human species would have been much better off had there NEVER been ANY form of religion. It is due to Absolutist religions, and their way of thinking, and their theological disagreements, that has created the greatest destruction, injury, death, harm, immorality, wickedness, and abuse to the human species than any other cause. The main problem is not religious fundamentalism, but the fundamentals of religion. Ultimately, it is Religion that is Humankind's worst enemy. - RMF Runyan

How do I know Religion, especially Absolutist Religions such as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, are Humanity's Worst Enemy? Here is a small list of what they are guilty of: murder, rape, torture, abuse, coercion, pillaging, oppression, persecution, extortion, ethnic cleansing, lying, intimidation, sacrifice, torment, harassment, rampage, terrorism, mutilating genitalia, enslavement, ravaging, swindling, exploitation, insults, endangerment, molesting and raping children, threats, corruption, plunder, genocidal cleansing... Did I miss any? Probably...

And from another post here...

Religion ensures peace.

BULLSHIT!

All three Abrahamic religions say the same thing. Although it may not be verbatim, in all three, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, they all say the same thing about their beliefs system.

I know this is not the exact statement, but if you look you will always find something like this:

You are to live in brotherhood and peace with all others of like mind. All others are to be put to the sword.

All three say something similar to this. As far as I am concerned, "put to the sword" can only mean to be "put to death". If religion is peaceful, then why does it teach you theists that us unbelievers must be killed if we do not believe the same as you?

And do not try any of your bullshit with me. I have read the Qu'ran before it was revised to take out the statements similar to the one above. There is only ONE religion on all this Earth that actually is completely about "peace", Janism (msp?).

Otherwise, ALL religions (and including some of the philosophies) have their basis in violence. Especially when dealing with the unbelievers.

And it seems all religions have the same two methods for dealing with unbelievers: stoning and burning.

I grew up with somewhat Sufi beliefs. Here in South Africa sufis never really called themselves that, sufis. We just thought of it as Islam. The Salafi sect here was always a minority. I am curious though, I have never heard of apostate sufis. So do you pray like sufis? What is the difference you and the usual sufis? Beliefs and rituals I am referring to

I can't believe you people are blowing your tops just because I said stop the foul language. If that is the only way you can express yourself, sadly. Then go ahead. I will ignore that segment of it. But arakish no. I won't go away. I know you would love me to, because you dislike that someone who is Muslim and not justifying your view on the barbaric uncivilised "terrorist" has come on here and speaks against everything you expect me to be. Stop feeding into the media.

@chimp
Likewise. And I appreciate your greeting in peace. This is very interesting I am reading now about this, Sufi Sam, Samuel L Lewis? I read this man started the Chisti movement? I read long ago about a Chisti Sufi movement here in Cape Town, actually not far from where I live, lead by Moulana Abdul latief. And I am just reading now trying to figure out if it is the same? And apparently Samuel did zen studies as well. Have you done that? I found kung fu and tai chi to be very beneficial for my health and quite relaxing.

@Jared
I assume you are male and that you are homosexual, based on one of your comments about your boyfriend? I don't judge people, and I believe the natural order would be for man and woman to be a couple. I had homosexual colleagues who had pleasant personalities and who I could confide in at the time, so it really isn't my place to judge. I have a question for you if you don't mind. I never had the nerve to ask anyone who is homosexual. Why are you not attracted to females? Is there a particular reason, I mean sometimes a woman becomes lesbian because she was raped. What makes a man want to be with another man? I am not trying to be rude, I just want to understand. And another question, which is a bit explicit I'm sorry. Is intercourse not painful? Especially for the one receiving it. You don't have to answer the second one if you don't want to.
