    Karen is such a distinguished bad ass. I love the way she has used her intellect to convey some great insights.

    There is a lot of contradiction in Kuran. Contradiction in Kuran should be discussed to open the potential radical's eyes . examples of contradictions 1. Kafirun sure 109.6 (For you is your religion For me is my religion) 2. Ali Imran sure 85, (And whoever seeks a religion other than Islam (Submission to Allah), it shall not be accepted from him, and in the Hereafter he shall be of the losers.) 3. Nisa sure 89 (They wish you would disbelieve as they disbelieved so u would be alike. So do not take from among them allies until they emigrate for the cause of Allah . But if they turn away, then seize them and kill them wherever you find them and take not from among them any ally or helper.)

    Glad to see worthless ideas relegated to the shitheap corner of the internet. Rational people don't have time for this...

      More views and likes than your shitty video has. By far. Rationality is not the only guiding principle in life nor is it objective or clear.

      Jacob Russell Rationality, logic and science are not definitive by a LONG shot, and they fall very short in answering the huge questions in life and giving direction
      ...With that being said, religion is absolute horseshit and the laughing stock of any self respecting person

      @JoJaDaRu Před 9 lety

      firehand1011 Too extreme by far for me. Religion is just like philosophy. Some are interesting and I won't reject any form of human study because they all have something worthwhile if you know where to look. There is no one rule for what makes a "self respecting person". I won't reject any tool.

    • @firehand1011
      @firehand1011 Před 9 lety

      Jacob Russell That is an interesting approach. I guess at the end of the day I have to say I'm a Nietzschean: by taking your approach and looking at each system as a philosophy, Ive concluded religion (christianity in particular) is counter productive to a full life on earth...
      I guess @ the end of the day it is only an opinion, would love to talk about this more!! hit me up on skype/kik/fb one day!
