Loopholes in Religion

ok I wont.

The reason I said that.. It looked like you tried to divert discussion to regular course of islam bashing.. perhaps I was wrong.

I just looked over the last few pages and bella’s comments but I did not notice any Islam bashing. Neither did I notice the word Islam. This topic is in the science and nature section and it is about loopholes in religion not a specific religion. So i don’t understand why you are bringing it back to that topic. It’s like you have eternally labelled someone from your perceptions of a person from one thread..which is now closed and everyone has moved on.
Look at how Psyah bhai interacts and is positive in talking to those who believe differently. Redvelvet also explains her points logically and is optimistic.
I think you were wrong. She did not divert any discussion, neither did she mention Christianity or Islam. By labelling someone you’re pushing them towards becoming a self fulfilling prophecy of that. Like you expect that to happen. Why not be positive? I don’t think someone who is a basher of any religion would notice any positives. Actually i have also made the mistake of assuming as well. Bella could very well believe in God and be a secular humanist. the 2 are not mutually exclusive. She can have deistic beliefs without belonging to any religion.

There are many positive things about Islam which I acknowledge but there has never been a discussion of sort on this forum. I like the concept of cleanliness, truthfulness, discouraging of backbiting, brotherhood, simplicity, helping the needy, rights of orphans, and many many more. NO religion is purely evil or purely perfect in my opinion. each has its positives and negatives. I am not saying or even think Islam is only negative and nothing positive. yes islam has many positive things too, and I also know that majority of muslims are not evil. I see good and bad both in Islam as i do with most other religions. I dont know every single thing about islam so thats why I sometimes post questions which I donot have clear cut answers to. I dont care to prove my self right on this issue at all. I fully accept and respect that everyone will have their own view on religion.

I posted this before and i’ll post it again. If you want her to mention positives make a thread about it and allow a platform for that. My last off topic comment.
Also what is interesting is the word “basher.” Where i am from if someone is a “basher” they are known to enthusiastically promote whatever subject they are “bashing.” So a bible basher is someone who is an evangelical who enthusiastically promotes and tries to convince others of their truth. Look at the meaning below.

You too could make some good points if you don’t label people once you have formed an image in your mind.
