I think we should absolutely question everything. Why I don’t marry my sister? Cuz I grew up with her and we have sibling love and its just not natural for me to convert that into any form of sexuality. Also DNA studies have confirmed its a bad idea!

I’m atheist and hence obviously coming at this from a different angle. I don’t think anyone should follow any religion blindly as I feel all of them are flawed. A religious person will obviously want to just follow the prescribed rules. The problem happens when the rules arent clear about what is and what isn’t allowed. Hence the nonstop debate on what’s halaal and what’s haraam.

The reason why I am pointing out or even urging my brothers to question things is because I want them to see that it just doesn’t make sense

My take with rules is simple. If I want to follow a system, I follow the rules of the system too without questioning. If I dont want to follow the system then I should not question the rules cause it does not matter. I made a decsion to follow islam, so I am going to submit to all the subsets of that system (rules/policies/laws), so I should not question the rules. You dont follow Islam so it should not matter what the rules are, so you should not question them either.

Tell you what. When you question the rules of a system while you are not a follower of that system, you are actually justifying why you dont follow it. Justification is a proof itself that your choices are not normal. Its like you will see Gay pride parade, but how many times have you seen a straight people pride parade on the street?. Why? Because hetros dont have to justify their act. They are normal.
