Religion rant!

[ElRazur]

Arrgggggh! **breathe**

Okay, so I was at my friend over the weekend who happens to be a muslim. I saw the quran in one corner and my curiosity got the better of me, so I asked him if I can look at it. His response is that "You are not clean enough to touch the quran!"

I was like "wtf!" Now, if that was coming from someone of a different colour, it may be viewed as being subliminally racist. Anyway, I asked him why and he goes I am non-believer etc.

So I got into my debating mode and asked him if it was okay for me to have sex with his 13 year old sister. At first, he looked at me in a funny way like what the heck am I talking about....but I pressed forward to ask him the question again, and this time he said "No you cant" I asked him "Why?" He then went on to tell me it is sickening, disgusting blah blah blah.....Right there and then I told him how the man he believes in had sex with an 8year old and married her at 7.

He was shocked and told me am lying, but I pointed out the verse [surah] it was written in the quran and for him to check the story out.


What strikes me here is the fact how people will believe things and have faith they wont even bother to check out if it is the right path or even try to know a bit about it.

Anyway, seeing that the convo was gonna get out of hand, I made an excuse and left. He later text me saying his faith is shaken and he is confused about his belief. I dunno if this is a trick to get me back to his place, so he can stab me or something, but I aint going back there.

Just a bit of a rant I guess...

They are not going to recruit many more members if they wont let non believers touch their holy book :/

On a similar religion note, I was in a silly mood last night and e mailed a complaint off to our local rag about this article:

They have capitalized all religions in there except from Pagan, so I told them off, lol. They'll be round here with the ducking stool in a few hours.

Britain will boil in brim and sulphur of Allah and the streets will be paved with the blood, bones and guts of unbelievers. I don't think I will want this country to go down that path.

CBS on a more serious note. I some how feel Muslims are the new Blacks/Ethnic minority. WTF am I talking about I hear you say? Here, let me explain. rewind some years back and the ethnic minority [imo] are treated like demi-gods and their right sort respected in some ways than the majority. Back then people are afraid the take the mick of ethnicc minority so as not to be perceived as being racist etc and to avoid confrontation etc. But now, things have changed a lot imo.

I think people are afraid of Muslims/Islam, I wonder if people will eventually come out against it and wont be afraid to speak how the feel without the fear of a jihad, persecution or some terrorist violence being directed at such people who speak out against it.

Simple common sense, but they obviously do not see so. Iirc, there loads of things a non-muslim is not allowed to do in islam - One cannot touch the dead body of a Muslim, if one is not a Muslim.

Last time I checked "pagan" wasn't a religion, Wicca, Asatru, Druidry, sure, but pagan is just an umbrella term and in the article they are using it in the adjective sense meaning not Christian, Jewish or Muslim. So actually the non capitalisation is correct.

No really, it might just be semantics but there is no religion called "Pagan", there are however pagan religions. To self identify as a Pagan (capitalised as a demonym) is more an exclusionary term saying what you're not as given the differences between, for example; Wicca and Asatru, just saying you're pagan doesn't indicate what you do believe.
In the article you give they use the word pagan twice, in both cases in the adjective form which, as I said before, is correct being uncapitalised.
