Peace Psyah,
I have witnessed many inconsistencies in your statements throughout this thread and it seems you have again done the same mistakes in your last post I would say unknowingly.
First your point was that logic is the mainstay for us to believe on religion.
Then you brought the term of 'reasoned believe' but gave an example of blind belief. We have spent so much time on defining the terms and I am glad you did make few statements which i have been saying thrroughout.
You have tried to defend the blind belief on Quran based on 1400 years of non-challenge in your understanding. Its true that many non-muslims have accepted Quran to be the authentic book or something from superior self.
But Quran has been disputed by many others to be the word of God. We in the enthusiasm choose to ignore them or belittle them. Interstingl enough you blamed others who do not belive on Quran as the people who choose not to follow.
Come one Psyah, I expected something better. Don't we not do the same?
We choose to not follow other scriptures or someone puts a gun on our head not to follow them?
We use our logic and they do theirs. Why blame them of doing something wrong?
The answer will continue in next post sine I have other good things to discuss out of your post. Its just that something came up.
Peace again.
The examples of inconsistencies: I can dissect your point of view more and your posts ...But I will limit for now to this below. i am sure yoo will try to make it as if I misunderstood all along just like you thought I misunderstood the statement by bro usresident)
Belief on religion is based on logic.
Belief on religion is 'resoned believe' (Wrong example given though)
Logic is not the only way to achieve belief..................(hey isn't it the same thing I was saying all along????)
My position has not changed a bit:
There are certain things in religion which are not based on logic and they are based even on 'blinded' faith or believe or whatever you call. I think this should put an end on trying to bring definition from dictionaries.
You used the word Iman in your post which I am glad you did.
Iman is a firm believe on something. Thats all. A firm bleive to the point that one thinks the belief is true and factual.
