[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Too bad all of these discussions about Islam go off the rails. I guess it's no different than any other subject on DCM but it's a shame. I'd like to learn what it is about Islam that seems to work for so many people. I don't see it.[/quote] People love having a sense of certainty, which Islam gives them. Islam also gives highly specific guidelines for every aspect of life, and lots of people crave that as well.[/quote] I think that describes all religions.[/quote] No, not really. Islam is a lot simpler than Christianity, for example. You try to explain the trinity. Christianity also has a lot of ambiguity in your specific actions.[/quote] I think all religions ask you to believe in things that can't possibly, by the laws of known science and physics, be true. Islam is no exception. Islam also, like all religions, limits independent thinking by the rule of "it is not fitting for a believer to question something when the prophet ruled otherwise." "We hear and we obey." But all religions are like that. [/quote]
