[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're right, I believe that through Islamic teachings, God has set out a way of life that is "best" for us. But I also think there are other good paths.[/quote]

Unfortunately, this is not what Islam teaches. There are no other good paths - Islam is the one and only path. I know this position is tough to defend if you feel that there are other good people who hold differing beliefs. Religion has had to yield from their strict teachings time and time again throughout history. I hope people think about these things carefully, since they believe it affects the quality of their everlasting life that is sure to come after this one.

[quote=Anonymous] I think you are misreading my post so that you have an opportunity articulate your frustration with religious people who seem hypocritical to you. I don't believe Jesus is the son of God. However, I don't think Christians are "bad" or that they will be denied Heaven necessarily by that belief.[/quote]

It doesn't just seem hypocritical,  it is hypocritical. The Quran is clear that only those Christians and Jews who convert to Islam after being exposed will be received into heaven. So all those Christians you see that you think are going to get into heaven, they are not according to your religion.

I don't think anything I've said is lazy-brained. I think the questions and complexities so many religious people face (the things you call hypocritical or deliberately misinterpret so you can get on your soapbox) are a product of religious people struggling with conflict.[/quote] It's lazy brained because there is an obvious difference between what you believe and what your religion teaches in no uncertain terms. Instead of asking yourself why this difference exists, you ignore it and happily parrot the latest "we-love-everyone" message. This is lazy brained because it avoids the mental exercise of seeking the truth, rather than just settle on something that feels numb and comfortable. [/quote]
