I wonder what the response of the atheist community would be to a religion that endorses scientific progress and doesn't contradict it.This is a somewhat irritating read as an article due to its ESL…Continue

Arcus replied to Asma Anonymous's discussion 'What is the response to this article?'"In that case, A-->Z=-X-Y, thus implying that reality is not about simplicity or complexity. Reality just "is", which is the same as an amoral view on the outcome of reality.
To which: I concur."

Heather Spoonheim replied to Asma Anonymous's discussion 'What is the response to this article?'"I've actually gone to significant effort to provide people with a more objective view of Islam by providing them with facts.

Asma Anonymous replied to Asma Anonymous's discussion 'What is the response to this article?'"Heather, I'm not judging you or insulting you.

Heather Spoonheim replied to Asma Anonymous's discussion 'What is the response to this article?'"You Said:
I'm trying to point out that judging others based off subjective ideas that can't be proven is not right. You should adopt an objective mindset when you judge other people. Subjectivity is for yourself.

- About Me:
- I was raised religiously, but stopped believing in God when I was ten. Since my God was known as 'the Most Merciful', I couldn't believe that He would throw anyone in Hell.
Hell was a terrible place from all that I studied and I would have never thrown anyone in it. God had to be more merciful than me.
Last Ramadhan I made a last ditch effort to salvage the broken remainders of a faith that still breathed faintly despite the work of my psychology to erase it.
I prayed each time I broke my fast for God to help me become a better Muslim, and I figured that if He was real, I would.
In the time since then I have had a series of chancy events that led to epiphanies about the state of God. At first I didn't imagine the Muslim version of God, I conceptualized an ultimate consciousness, but I returned to Islam in my exploration of those concepts that were perfectly explained in the Qur'an.
I believe that there is an ultimate being, known to us as God, or Yahweh, or Allah, or whatever lingually-developed label that human beings use to describe what they can't truly understand.
And, I believe that the correct way to live my life is to submit my will to the divine command of that ultimate being.
