Muslims take to the streets in anger after Quebec’s move to ban public prayer

[Butler1000]

As I said there are religions and religious movements that are and have been cults.
But the major religions today - Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Hinduism. Sikhism, Buddhism etc are not cults. Don't be silly.

Dude, Koresh and Mohammad are the same. Two crazy dudes who cherry picked off the Bible/Torah and made themselves prophets. Then got suckers to believe them. The only difference is the FBI didn't exist to kill Mohammad before he got too big.

It's just scaling. They are all cults.

 

[Butler1000]

The issue isn't the existence of God.
But you aren't having to accommodate any practice you dont want to even as a believer.
And you keep falling into this trap where you decide who is a true believer and who isn't based on YOUR definition of what a believer must do.
That's silly.
Believers break from strict religious rules all the time.
Doesn't make them non-believers.

Omfg......

The existence of a god, multiple gods, is the exact issue. If god/gods don't exist then they are all nothing more than Scientology that's been around a lot longer.

 

[Butler1000]

Yes he was.

See my above post.

Don't be ridiculous.
Koresh was a cult leader in the 20th century and Prophet Mohammad is a religious leader from the 6th Century who started a major religion.

Just curious, but if Islam became the predominant religion in Canada and sharia law replaced our current criminal code, would you be for it or opposed to it??

No, this is not a question of theism.
You said you didn't want to bow down to religious practices.
But no one is compelling you to do so. Infact those major religions are not even pressuring their own followers to do so today.

If Islam became the predominant religion in Canada, which it won't, then Sharia law will NOT be imposed because we are a secular state and our secularism is guaranteed by the Charter.

That is good to know. So marrying 6 year olds will still be illegal here right?

Are you saying marrying 6 year olds is legal somewhere? Where?

Seems okay with the prophet muhammed. Lead by example i suppose

I saw a debate in this thread regarding religion being a cult.

And I agree. Any religion will push on you narratives that are completely cult like.

Jesus did not walk on water. He did not turn shit into wine. He did not resuscitate, just like Trump was never shot to the ear.

In Quebec, we have a political party that is trying to remove any religion from public space. And really, I am all for that.

Believe in your god or any kind of spiritual element that highlights your life (for me it's a pussy) I am all fine with that. But keep it for yourself and do not try to impose it.

That's so simple I do not know why it's such a matter for everyone.

But what if we had a Muslim Prime Minister, and he somehow changed the Canadian charter to allow for sharia law, would you be okay with it??

He was a cult leader. A Warlord. How do you "start" a religion? Like L Ron Hubbard?

Lol!

Sure it is. If God doesn't exist then its all bunk. And if only one is right then the rest are all wrong.

It's all pretty science bullshit.

Dude.....

Mormons and Evangelicals, Jehovah witnesses, Salvation Army, all go out, show up and try to convert you. Go out front if the Eaton Centre and you can see Islamic dudes preaching.

You don't think EVERY major religion compels their worshippers to follow the word of their respective God and saviors/prophets?

Cripes why are you lying like this. You look so bad right now.

You mean in the 6th century? Christianity and Judaism and every other religion had such regressive practices in the past.

Yeah so?
What does that have to do with Muslims in Canada?

You'd have to first explain how a Muslim Prime Minister would change the Charter to allow for Sharia Law. How would this happen?

No he wasn't a cult leader. We've been through this before.
