As for who am I to interpret what is written in the Quran, that is the duty of each and every Muslim. And the ones who run those Islamic states clearly disagree with you. They've probably also spent longer studying it than you have. It is, afterall, their job. So who gets to say what's 'true'?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

jakee 1,501 #152 April 16, 2010 Quote Quote the more I read the posts in this the more it seems like a troll looking for attention and an argument. It is what I refer to as the collective adolescent mentality. The kids are screaming, "Look at me, look at me." I respond because I have the time and it amuses me. When I get bored I let the teenagers go play amongst themselves. And you do operate on a much more cultured, mature level than the rest of us teenagers, don't ya?Do you want to have an ideagasm?

I like Dennis Miller's line on reality: Adolescent amatuer philosopher: "How do I know the color red for you is the same as the color red for me? Reply: "Check the Crayola box Momenschwanz!"" . . . the lust for power can be just as completely satisfied by suggesting people into loving their servitude as by flogging them and kicking them into obedience." -- Aldous Huxley Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mnealtx 0 #165 April 16, 2010 QuoteIn his first response, he called Kallend a Marxist Here's the reply in question: "A bit of a sidetrack, but, what do you have to offer those folks who suffer from unresolved issues of anger, anxiety, depression and guilt?" Reading evidently isn't all that fundamental anymore. Quoteand in his last he called everyone opposed to him teenagers. In between, much of the same. Yeah, he was SO out of line compared to your "Paranoid lunatics" and the slams from various others, wasn't he?

Kallend has admitted being a Marxist. Opposition is futile because there is no way to determine a winner or a loser. Judgment of the soul comes at death of the physical body.
