I apologise for comparing you to PM. You don't even come close in religious fervour and fanaticism.
Bells said:PM I have my family, loved ones, friends, and all the rest of it. That is what I have and that is what matters to me in my life.
'And no you don't have the truth PM. The only truth you have is the truth that your religion tells you. It is not your truth, but the truth of someone else which you believe in.
Yes PM, you evolved while the rest of us are hunter gatherers You'd be amazed at how difficult it is to try and install power points in a cave.
You claim that your religion allows you to live an organised life and a life that is disciplined? Well I too live such a life and mine is done through having an organiser and an alarm clock.
You see PM, the difference between you and I is that I devote all that love to things that matter to me, my family and loved ones. You claim that your religion is your life, well my life is my life and those I am close to are also my life. Without them I would not be here today.
I know where I'm going and I know who I am. I know where I came from. The reason I am here is because my parents decided to have a child and hence I was born.
I don't need any religion to define my identity PM. I lived my life and I know who I am deep down.
PM, if you can't define who you are without any religion then that is beyond sad.
That borders on fanaticism and obsession. And to 'cure' a flu I stay in bed and drink lots of liquids ... all by myself.
I do not have to be spoon fed my beliefs by others. I make up my own mind. If you like to be told by others what to believe in, then knock yourself out.
How is my denying belief in religion denying the existence of God? I was not aware that one had to be entrenched in religious fervour to believe in God.
You see, here in lies the difference between you and I. My greatest honour is that I am loved by my parents, family and loved ones. They are my number one priority, and they bring me the greatest pleasure. Nothing comes close to the love I have for them.
If I had to choose between a religion or them, they'd come first no matter what.
If I had to choose between God or them, my family would still be chosen above all else.
I view my family and loved ones as being a part of who I am and I thank them daily for allowing me to be alive and to be where I am today.
If it wasn't for them, I'd be much poorer.
You view religion as being your primary love and you view it as being your identity. I view my family and loved ones as being my primary love. My identity I formed on my own with their support and love.
I find such talk to be terrifying PM. Seriously, I find it disturbing in the extreme.
It seems that you have no true identity.
I find it amazing how anyone can view themselves in the manner that you have.
In fact, I find it terrifying. Such fanaticism and zealotness always terrifies me.
You speak about Islam as though it is your very life, yet you do not even mention your family or loved ones in the equation.
I find that scary. How you can let any religion define who you are as a person and as an individual is beyond me.
You are you PM and your religion is but a part of your life, it should not be the whole of your life.
The way you stated that above, it is as though nothing else matters but your religion, not even your family. Nothing should come before your family, not even your religion.
Proud_Muslim said:I explained to you already that my family are MUSLIMS, so they are too MY LIFE.
Proud_Muslim said:Please sister flores, dont start another fight, I dont want to waste my energy debating you, I have some HOPELESS athiests to deal with, so can you please spare me your lashes ????
Proud_Muslim said:Great, I love terrfying INTELLECTUALLY the hopeless souls...
Proud_Muslim said:Ok flores........I am sorry I came to help you, please carry on debating evolution with them.
Enough with the kindergarten colors and font sizes already. Okay, what do you consider half an eye, PM? How about an eye without an iris or lens? How about an eye that is just a cup with photoreceptors at the bottom of the cup? How about an eye that's just consists of a patch of photoreceptors? All of these 'partial' eyes exist in various species that are alive today and they are quite functional.Proud_Muslim said:I am still waiting to hear your answers about how the HALF EVOLVED EYE can see!!!!!! and oh, the DNA evolution as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Don't worry about it Flores, I don't perceive PM as representative of your POV or Muslims in general and I doubt that anyone else does either.Flores said:You have no idea how much harm have you costed me. I might as well start back at page five when you told us goodbye.
*chuckles* I like itspidergoat said:We are Islam... You will be assimilated.... resistance is futile...
Actually if you must know, my mother is having lunch with my father at her favourite restaurant on a mountain top not far from their house. After which they will go to the local beach and she will do her daily walk or lie down on a rug under a tree and read while my father fishes for a little while and she might even go for a swim if the water feels nice to her.. depends on her mood at the time I guess. Or she might just convince my father to stay there into the evening and they can have fish and chips while sitting on the sand and then go for a night swim. She's hardly old and decrepit and in need of a home.Proud_Muslim said:Another peice of lies, I bet your mother is in eldery home living alone because people like you dont want to take care of those who took care of them when they were young.
Really? I find that amazing that you could claim that PM since I've never once mentioned where I was born or what my culture actually is. So please tell me, how do you know all about me and my culture? Get a special message?I know very well all about you and your culture, dont give me this bullshit crap.
Can't you read? Those questions were answered about 15 to 20 pages ago.it is not evolution, it is ILLUSION, how many times I need to explain the nonesense of the evolution ?? I am still waiting to hear your answers about how the HALF EVOLVED EYE can see !!!!!! and oh, the DNA evolution as well !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Says he who types up his little messages on a computer . Yes PM we are all materialistic illusionists while you being so pious and pure get your messages on this forum by way of a magical scribe. So I have an organiser and an alarm clock? I also have a watch, TV, DVD, video, fridge, microwave oven, bed, lounge, dining table and chairs, art works by myself and others, oven and stove, car, computers, etc. Oh I'm such a materialistic beast... tell me PM, how do you survive without any of those things? After all, you accuse us of living a materialistic life so I'm assuming you do not own any goods such as those stated above? After all, if you accuse others of being materialistic for owning an organiser and an alarm clock, how materialistic would you view someone for owning a fridge, TV, computer, car etc? How materialistic are you?organizer and alarm clock !! you see, you guys live MATERIAL LIFE, you always look down on material things, you cant comprehend the meta-physical, if you dont see something you dont believe in it, it only show your sorry state of mind.
Die alone? I beg your pardon dipshit, do not dare to put me in your warped sense of how you see the world.Again, piece of BS....will you take your mother home and clean after her when she get old ? or will you do as MOST 'CIVILIZED' Westerners by dumbing her in an eldery home to die alone?????
My parents come from their parents and so on and so on... right back to the point of life starting on this planet as a mere single cell life form and through a process of EVOLUTION to where I am today.And where your parents came from ? and where their parents came from ?
I'm actually about to go and put my washing out on the line if you must know. And what the hell is with all the ??????????????..... ?You did not tell me where you are going ????????????????
I am? Confused and lost? Maybe it is I who belong in a home for the mentally impaired if I'm suffering from dementia .Your writting tells who you are deep down, confused lost soul, May GOD almighty show you his majestic lights...ameen.
Oh this is a laugh. You accuse others of being fanatical when you yourself are ranting and raving with pretty coloured fonts about how you are nothing without your religion and how it is your life. MMM HMMM yeah we're all fanaticals PM... Do you want to know what is driving civilisation down the drain? It is people such as yourself who are so fanatical about their religious beliefs that they aren't even aware of their own identity. It is people who's fanaticism sees them view the world in a skewed manner as they are only seeing what is around them after being told what they should see. You are a fanatical Islamist PM, just like Bush is a fanatical right wing dickhead.You see, it is again this western SELFISH MATERIAL way of looking at things, EXTREME FANATICAL INDIVIDALISM !!! this extreme western individualism is what driving the western civilization down the drain.
No PM, I walked to the fridge and tap and poured those liquids into a glass all on my very own. And as to where those liquids came from? Well lets see now, the water comes from the tap and the orange juice comes from oranges.WRONG, it is not all by yourself, you needed lots of liquids, ever wondered where these liquids came from ????
Are you dim? What drove me to stay in bed is the fact that my body was aching and I felt sick. What initiated all that was the flu bug throwing itself around my body. Who initiated me? Initiated me into what? Was I supposed to take a pledge for something? To answer what I think you're trying to ask, I come from my parents PM, not some higher being. Would you dare to tell your mother that you do not come from her but come from God. I'm sure that after all the hours of labour she endured to put you into the world, she'd just love to hear you say that.Every wondered what drove you to stay in bed ??? your sense ? your logic? who initiated all that ??????? you ?? who intiated you ?????
Yet you live in the West? If it is such a decayed culture, I'd have thought you'd have high tailed it out of there. Ah but I forgot, you enjoy all the fruits of the decay, such as all the materialistic things you have in your house, but you bitch about it behind its back. You claim moral superiority because you are a Muslim and you see all the decay of the Western culture as being vile, but you are quite happy to live there and materially enjoy and gain from that decay all the while preaching to others about how better you are to anybody else. Hypocrite.It depend on your defenition of others !!! No one told me to be Muslim, I CHOSE ISLAM by myself, IRONICLY, I decided to follow Islam after my encounter with the western way of life and the western culture during my studies in the U.K.
Before, I was just Muslim because my parents were ones, now, I am Muslim because I CHOSE to be Muslim, thanks to the DECAY in the western culture that shows me ISLAM is the only way.
And did God come down from heaven and tell you himself that I can't reach him by what you called 'twisted methods'? And please enlighten me, what do you define as being a twisted method? I'm not interested what he said to the prophets, I'm interested in what God told YOU personally in regards to this. You do not know what God likes and dislikes. Should I have sacrificed a lamb for God to hear me?You can believe in God but you cant reach him by twisted methods, Allah Almighty sent this world hundred of thousands of prophets, he sealed them with prophet Muhammad (pbuh ) he showed us the ONLY REMANING WAY to reach God, you cant reach God by committing acts that anger him like the COW WORSHIPING for example !!
Ah but you see, I know who I am. I didn't have to let any religion tell me who I am or where I'm going. And fanatics always disturb me.Sure, for someone who has no direction in this life, for someone who does not know who she is , I am sure the above will disturb you.
Ah again you pass judgement. How do you know I don't know God? Who are you to say so? I forgive your confusion PM, but I do not forgive your stupidity.I dont find it amazing your reaction, after all, you are someone who does not know GOD, so I forgive your confusion.
So if one day someone in your family told you they were converting to another religion or they were marrying someone who was not a Muslim, you'd stop loving them and disown them? You shouldn't love your family because they are Muslim PM, you should love them because they are your family. You don't love someone because of their religious belief, you love them because of who they are, regardless of religion.My family and loved ones are too MUSLIMS, so by me considering ISLAM MY LIFE, THEY BECOME MY LIFE TOO...CANT YOU SEE HOW AMAZING ISLAM IS ? IT MAKES ALL MUSLIMS INTEGRAL DEEPLY CONNECTED COMMUNITY. but oh well, as I said earlier, you cant have an atom of feeling of what we Muslims feel....what a loss bells !!!
And who are you to judge others for what they believe in? I wasn't dictating to you PM, I was merely showing amazement and horror at the fact that you view yourself as you do. I was showing my sadness at the fact that you don't see yourself as having your own identity, only the identity that your religion tells you you should have.And who the hell you are to dedicate on others the way they should define themselves ??? or is it the same WESTERN SELF-RIGHTOUS BULLSHIT AGAIN in which every thing good for the westerners must be good for everyone else ????????????????
Definitely agreed !!friends again till our next evolution discussion.

Okay, let me explain more clearly since you don’t understand the example. The Nautilus has eyes that are quite a lot like our except that they do not have a lens to focus the incoming light. Instead, their eyes operate much like a pinhole camera, since the ‘iris’ is so small only light that is narrowly focused can get in through the opening to hit the photoreceptors. Thus the eyes of the Nautilus are like human eyes except with a couple of features missing. The Nautilus can see fairly well despite the fact that it does not have a focusing lens or the ability to dilate its iris.Proud_Muslim said:I am sorry to disappoint you but this is not an answer, you failed to tell me how half evolved eye can see ????
It's a shame that God was unable to get it all right now huh?Proud_Muslim said:The eye is one of the most manifest pieces of evidence that living creatures are created. All sight organs, including animal eyes and the human eye, are extremely striking examples of perfect design. This exceptional organ is so overwhelmingly complex that it surpasses even the most sophisticated man-made devices in the world.
"As an organ developed via the opportunistic twists and turns of evolutionary processes, the human eye is explainable. As an organ designed and created by an infinitely wise deity, the human eye is inexcusable. For unlike the invertebrate eyes ..., the human eye is constructed upon the foundation of an almost incredible error: The retina has been put together backwards! Unlike the retinas of octopuses and squids, in which the light-gathering cells are aimed forward, toward the source of incoming light, the photoreceptor cells (the so called rods and cones) of the human retina are aimed backward, away from the light source. Worse yet, the nerve fibers which must carry signals from the retina to the brain must pass in front of the receptor cells, partially impeding the penetration of light to the receptors. Only a blasphemer would attribute such a situation to divine design!"
