[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am Muslim and am struggling with my faith, particularly after Gaza. But I suspect a lot of people don’t give up on faith altogether for the same reason that’s stopping me: we have nothing else. [/quote]

What do you mean "nothing else"?  You've got common sense, right? and probably a whole community of like minded muslims if you looked for them.[/quote]

+1.  and good for you for questioning.  There are many organizations/forums for people in your shoes PP.  Although...I dont believe it's a choice for you to "give up on", it is a matter of what you are convinced of.  If you don't believe, but WANT to because there is "nothing else", it means you are an atheist that is afraid. Which is where a lot of us began.

It has been my firm belief for a long time, now, that if we really came together as a human race without the trappings of religion and without the placebo effect of religion, we may find that humanity can evolve as there would certainly be less division and less violence related to religious beliefs.

The human condition terrifies me, and that is what I meant by nothing else. Without faith, we have nothing to provide solace amid the precariousness of life. Earth is so magical—just being out in the sun fills me with so much joy and love—and I am shocked every time I am reminded of our mortality. My mind just doesn’t understand it and that’s why I’m turning to faith. [/quote]
