What's new

Why I think being a Muslim is rational.


OK, kids. Every generation has to learn the lessons of life all over again, for themselves. That's what being oh say 19 is all about.

I watched a movie last night, twice. Some 1952 era country/blues singer named gosh I forget, dreaming in the back seat of a cadillac on New Years Eve, about the show he never did, before falling over dead from alcohol and heroine.

Nice little routine about the way things go in life, starting out with "Hey Good Lookin", ending with something about some "Cheatin' Heart", and a big sermon about Jesus and how a man with broken dreams just has a real hard time believing in God, and praying for mercy.

Religions, brand new, are like perky chics with all the right curves and wiggles. But life just wears on them like it does on all of us, and before long they're the ramblings of drunks on the street a 3 am, just dreaming of glory.

To the point, I've seen accounts of Islamic terrorists who in private life are hard drinkers, womanizers, gamblers, and Western-backed agitators just doing their best to justify another war. The rhetoric is western, even. Ideological, not religious.

I wonder how most ordinary Islam believers view them. I wouldn't imagine they are very good examples of their faith.

And it does take a while for any really devoted believer to begin to see the problems with their idols.

That's what being an old man is all about.

Wow... Where to begin on this train wreck? Have you ever read the Qur'an? Ever taken any religion classes? Ever read a book about Islam? No? Shocking. What is the most interesting thing about your rant here, to me, is the fact that you're a Mormon and have long had to deal with idiots from all points of the globe acting exactly the same way you are. All one needs to do is go read some of the Spurs boards to see what I'm talking about: Joseph Smith using a magic rock inside of a hat. All of our 14 wives. Warren Jeffs as our leader. BoM inaccuracies. Blacks and the priesthood. Etc., etc., etc. Way to be tolerant and educated, Thriller -- you're a great ambassador for Utah and Mormons the world over.




Cool story bra. When you can't rely on actual data you can always rely on anecdotal data.




You're a walking parody. Please, shut the F up.

I don't think I've ever seen anyone go to the lengths you have trying to incite a religious/political/sexuality war on Jazzfanz.

It's OK frank, he wouldn't have responded anyway. He has a tendency to do that, you know. Has his butt hole reamed and then he'll duck out for a few days, only to come back just as stupid as ever while conveniently forgetting the topic in which he was owned.
