RE: [mukto-mona] Are some religious people menaces in the society?--false propaganda against religion and religious people



 

Dear members,

Propaganda is going on against me on false basis. I am not a member of Jamaat, nor any member of Jamaat’s majlish.

Some are abusively criticizing Islam and the prophet. It is strange news that Ayesha did not believe in Jibrail.

It is also wrong that Prophet Muhammad (sm) coveted wife of his foster son.Zainab was his cousin .Zaid was not his begotten son. Any body can read the commentary of Sura Ahzab to know the details.

Respected moderator, I draw your attention against personal attack.

Mr. Hannan is a registered member of Jamaat, and a member of Majlis.  He is a shameless advocate of Jamaat politics in the forum with very shallow knowledge on almost everything.  With a single track mind like his, one should look for other forums than mukto mona.  Even communism is religion, and was fastest growing in the last century.  Any form of regimentation is bound to accompany such ills as religion does.  There is no reason to believe that any of these so called holy men or prophets had any connection with the 'creator' of the Universe.  They believed in the geocentric model, gave more importance to the planets than the stars.  Planets were Gods which later turned into angels.  Note that there are seven planets/archangels living in seven heavens.  Not even Ayesha, the young wife of the prophet believed in the existence of Gabriel. 

About the comparative  moral standard of the atheist with theist, it suffices to point out that you would never find out an atheist coveting the wife of his own foster son.  An atheist is always guided by his conscience, and does not invoke God as the cause and solution of all his problems.

@Nihar Singh:

 

The true religious people - who are they? Whether they bother anybody or not - is not the issue. The issue is how much is their contribution towards the advancement of the modern society? Are people, who take part in the communal riots or blowup innocent people in the name of religion, any less religious? You may think so - but they don't.

 

@Kamal Das:

The New Testaments does not contain many of the violent verses of the Old Testament means these are not absolute truth. This is the point I am trying to make.

Are some religious people menaces in the society?

 

I have been asking this question lately to myself. I tried to find the roles and contributions (I mean, real contributions) of religious people in the society that brought us here from the beginning of time. What I envisioned is that - religion played a very insignificant role towards our social, moral, and scientific developments in this world. Most of these developments are made by religiously indifferent people. The religious people mostly deal with and talk about things that are out of this world. As a result, many of these religious people are misfits and menaces in the society.

 

Many argue that religion builds our moral character, and we learn good and bad from religion, etc. etc. I, on the other hand, think – good and bad we learn from our ancestors, and from our own experiences; religion has nothing to do with it. You might ask where our ancestors learned them from, in the first place. They learned good and bad from their ancestors' experiences, so on, and so forth. Most Chinese do not have any religion. When I asked a Chinese man - how most people there learn about good and bad without religion, he told me - they learn them from their elders’ wisdoms. That’s right; our ancestors transferred their knowledge and wisdom to us. Therefore, I truly believe – this world would have been a much better place without religion. Religions have divided us into many sectarian hateful clans, which are constantly fighting with one another.

 

Many of us believe that religious doctrines and dogmas are heavenly absolute entities. They forget that - many of those doctrines, dogmas, and interpretations have already been modified from the original preaching during emancipation. For example, Old Testament has been replaced by the New Testament, many Quranic interpretations have been changed, and many Vedic/Puranic practices and interpretations have been changed, etc., etc. That means - religious teachings and practices are subject to change with the time, which means they are not so heavenly endowments as we believe them to be. This is a critical point to remember. Those who think otherwise are the menaces in the society.

Re: [mukto-mona] Are some religious people menaces in the society?--false propaganda against religion and religious people



I agree most of the people of religions are good people. But you also have to agree that most of the non-believers, skeptics, and agnostics are also good people. Bad guys are those who "sell" religion or an idealogy for capturin or retaining power. They indoctrinate innocent cadres committed to killing and torturing. Obviously, Jamaat-i-Islam is one of them. You can also pick a cruel communist dictator as an example from the other end of the scale.

>>>>>>>>> Member Das, if you do not agree with Mr. Hannan, attack his ideas. When you get into personal attacks and attack against religion, it makes YOU look very bad. Jammat's position during 1971 was wrong from many sides (Immoral, unethical, against Islam etc). It is one of the easiest task to criticize that, please try that using logic and solid data (If that is what you are aiming for!!).

Not even Ayesha, the young wife of the prophet believed in the existence of Gabriel. 

>>>>>>>>>>> I have never heard this crap before. Please share your sources!!!!


About the comparative  moral standard of the atheist with theist, it suffices to point out that you would never find out an atheist coveting the wife of his own foster son.  An atheist is always guided by his conscience, and does not invoke God as the cause and solution of all his problems.


>>>>>>>>> If you do not understand this, just ask. One of us will explain it to you. Just like I am disgusted by the low lives who are saying bad things about Dr. Zafar Iqbal, I think this is below civilized discussion when you insult our holy prophet without any knowledge of what happened. He is not around us, so he is the easiest target???


Atheists have their fair share of child molesters, perverts, rapists, murderers and every kind of idiots you can think of. Atheists are just like  rest of us ------HUMAN BEINGS!!

There are good people and bad people in every communities. Muslims and atheists are NO different in that aspect.


Hope reason and logic guide you in future discussion (Instead of blind rage against Islam).

Peace!!

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> You are right these were acts of half educated idiots who do not understand the core message of Islam.

However atheist people have done more murdering of innocents than any religious people. Stalin, Mao (Of china) etc done their part in killing anyone who had a different point of view.

Respected all,
Atheists and secularists (who believe in naturalism and rationalism only and who deny role of religion in public life) are more menace to humanity, morality, civilization as history shows. Most of the wars including first and second great wars were waged by them.
Most of the people of religions are good people. Many of them are misguided by secular political leaders or some ignorant and aggressive religious bigots.
Religious people of all religions should fight these exploiters and stand for humanity, morality and social welfare.

@Nihar Singh:
 
The true religious people - who are they? Whether they bother anybody or not - is not the issue. The issue is how much is their contribution towards the advancement of the modern society? Are people, who take part in the communal riots or blowup innocent people in the name of religion, any less religious? You may think so - but they don't.
 
@Kamal Das:
The New Testaments does not contain many of the violent verses of the Old Testament means these are not absolute truth. This is the point I am trying to make.
 
Thanks.

Truely religious people dont disturb anyone. On the other hand atheists try to make everyone atheists. That is true menace. Look at darwin he made everyone think that they eveolved from apes. Many jokers believe this to be true.

Are some religious people menaces in the society?
 
I have been asking this question lately to myself. I tried to find the roles and contributions (I mean, real contributions) of religious people in the society that brought us here from the beginning of time. What I envisioned is that - religion played a very insignificant role towards our social, moral, and scientific developments in this world. Most of these developments are made by religiously indifferent people. The religious people mostly deal with and talk about things that are out of this world. As a result, many of these religious people are misfits and menaces in the society.
 
Many argue that religion builds our moral character, and we learn good and bad from religion, etc. etc. I, on the other hand, think – good and bad we learn from our ancestors, and from our own experiences; religion has nothing to do with it. You might ask where our ancestors learned them from, in the first place. They learned good and bad from their ancestors' experiences, so on, and so forth. Most Chinese do not have any religion. When I asked a Chinese man - how most people there learn about good and bad without religion, he told me - they learn them from their elders' wisdoms. That's right; our ancestors transferred their knowledge and wisdom to us. Therefore, I truly believe – this world would have been a much better place without religion. Religions have divided us into many sectarian hateful clans, which are constantly fighting with one another.
 
Many of us believe that religious doctrines and dogmas are heavenly absolute entities. They forget that - many of those doctrines, dogmas, and interpretations have already been modified from the original preaching during emancipation. For example, Old Testament has been replaced by the New Testament, many Quranic interpretations have been changed, and many Vedic/Puranic practices and interpretations have been changed, etc., etc. That means - religious teachings and practices are subject to change with the time, which means they are not so heavenly endowments as we believe them to be. This is a critical point to remember. Those who think otherwise are the menaces in the society.
