I'm Muslim, do you hate me? If so, why?

Not for being Muslim, but for being stupid enough to make this thread.

The world and society.

I'm not a troll. But why do you hate Islam?

the world does not find problems in anything, being a landmass. Society encompasses religion.

I'm not the guy you quoted, but I too also hate Islam. Don't take it too personally, I hate Christianity as well, and pretty much all religions. Religions cause people to act in stupid ways, and the whole reason religion exists is quite frankly stupid.

We know very little about the universe, so religion was created as a concept to be the easy answer. "God did it", that doesn't require any explanation which conforms to our logic system. To me it seems silly to discredit what we do know in order to help answer what we don't know. Religious people generally don't think for themselves (the fact that they are religious is evidence enough for this). Find me 1 religious person who follows that religion after studying and researching different ones, including atheism, and decided that it was the most logical choice. Yes there will be a select handful, but especially with Islam most people are only religious because they were born into an religious family (eg: an islamic family), and essentially forced to practice Islam (which imo is morally wrong, and if a religion teaches this, it's just another reason why I hate it).

It is impossible to tell, but without religion the world would most likely be a better place, no war, less subjective laws, less power hungry people, less stupid acts caused in the name of religion, less violence (race riots etc), and people would live happier lives. Ironic isn't it.

Sadly, yes it is ironic. If people didn't twist the original religion (Islam) into other things then this would not have happened. You can disagree that this was the original religion, but that's a different debate, but I will say that I have considered athiesm and it just doesn't tick the boxes; your idea of religion being created because people didn't know a lot about the universe isn't very good. Have you studied other religions before deciding on athiesm, or have you just gone by what the media says? Because I've studied them, and Islam is the right one.

I agree with you when you say bad that people are forced into religions, but that's the duty of the parents. However, yes there is a certain point where the child has to decide for themselves. This point came for me, and I did consider other possibilities. I read the bible, talked to christian friends who couldn't hold up an argument against me, and the same occured for the other religions. Like I said, Islam being the right religion or not is a different debate, and I don't want to hijack so I'll leave it at that.

Well, maybe a different world would have been better. I'm not disagreeing about it being the original religion, that is irrelevant to me, and I don't really see why it should be considered a bonus for Muslims, but as you said that is a different debate. What do you mean my idea of religion being created isn't very good? It is a lot more logical then the reason a follower would give, with sounder reasoning behind it.

Also, atheism isn't a religion. You are either religious, or you aren't. It's not like there's islam, christianity, athiesm, buddism etc, theres religion and then atheism. I hate how many people assume one should be religious, and kind of expect justification when I say I'm an atheist. It's like me saying to someone "What games console do you own?" and them replying that they don't have one, and me questioning why, asking if they researched all the consoles before deciding not to get one. If you follow a religion, you should justify why, I shouldn't have to justify why I don't follow one. This is just my personal opinion, and not a personal attack on you, just in case you take it that way =]

I just think if you read into it a bit more, you'd consider/realise that it isn't just a made up story, and therefore, you would not be so dismissive of religion. Maybe the bad thing about religion is you have to care enough to spend the time looking at the different religions, and figure out why this one is wrong, why the next one is maybe right, until you find the one which makes sense. Then you go even further, and try to pick out every bit you can until you can be sure its acceptable, before fully devoting yourself to it. Many people believing in religion don't take this route, but in a way it is one of the only ways to actually commit yourself to a religion, otherwise there will always be doubt in your mind. People can teach you things, but ultimately, its all biased when it comes down to religion.

Doubt also leads to arguments, where people are not sure what they believe in, and eventually war, where people believe that flying a plane into the "non-believers" will grant them a place in heaven, or bombing catholics/protestants is the right way to express their religion. Infact, if they really believed in their religion, it actually guarentees them one of the deepest slots in hell, and all religions will teach this.

I was under the impression that athiesm was the belief that God doesn't exist, so its a belief, so its a religion in a sense, isn't it? It's just that it consists of doing whatever you want for the rest of your life, so there isn't really much to it to be considered a religion.

And I don't take it as an attack, and hope you don't either
