@TLK

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.

I do agree and respect the sentiment that you follow a system and that’s it. I just wanted to point out that the lack of questioning becomes a problem when the rules arent clear on whats haraam and whats not.

Regarding the gay pride parade.. they feel they need to do that to show solidarity with other gays and to show us that they arent going to change.. for us hetros we are in the majority and the globally accepted NORM.. so obviously we dont feel the need to justify it.. This isn’t transferable to religion.. there are more religious people than atheists in this world but religious people are the ones that are usually in everyone’s faces waiving their religion’s flag. Although Atheists have recently started publically expressing their views on religion as well. And why not?

But yes.. by questioning religion maybe on some level I AM making a point that look this is why I dont follow it.. because it doesnt make much sense.
