If a thief did steal again, cutting his hand is bound to happen, because stealing (Kleptomania) is a mental illness that in Islam's view, the only treatment is cutting one hand of a thief.
Yes, you do sound like an asshole. Homosexuality has been around longer than all religions combined. Ancient Rome, Greece and Mesopotamia, all accepted homosexuality. It is not only a sexual attraction, but also a romantic attraction. Homosexuality is, in other words, not just about ***. It's also about enjoying each other's company, going out to eat, meeting each other's families, working out together, travelling togehter, etc. They basically love each other. What sounds more harmful to you, what I just described or wishing these people death and/or pain? Because, to me, you are the problem here, not them.What is the point of the story of Lot that is shared in all the Abrahamic religions? This habit of homosexuality, where you think it came from? I understand very well that I'm being harsh and sounds like an asshole, but should I lie to a religious part of the LGBTQ?
Who suggested this idea of Parent 1 and Parent 2? What kind of people?
Definitely they are atheists.
All the problems we suffer for thousands of years were caused by some fanatic non-religious people.
However, you changed your mind and said that LGBTQ can be religious after all.LGBTQ can be religious
You can't say, "No matter your interpretations of the holy texts (the Bible, the Quran, etc), you are still a theist". To you they are theist, but to true theists like Jews, Christians and Muslims, they are extremists misrepresenting God's words.
Where in this thread I ever defined anything? Don't put words I didn't say in my mouth.
I used ISIS as an example. I didn't deny them being theists.
Pretty sure there are loonies out there who don't want to be defined as humans. Give em time, we'll get laws that they too will be comfortable with.What about all those people who doesn’t want to be defined as a person?![]()
Nuu, my outlaw country will never be reinforced with laws T_______TPretty sure there are loonies out there who don't want to be defined as humans. Give em time, we'll get laws that they too will be comfortable with.
That is so black and white, but I honestly expect nothing less from a man who gets his morals from a 1400+ years old book. What if that thief is a father who's desperately trying to feed his starving children?
This isn't my debate, but on this point I feel I have to clear up the issue. Necessity removes punishment, "the book" also mentions this. Even the application isn't for a person until certain conditions are fulfilled. Btw I think Arabian Luffy was being sarcastic as Sharia wouldn't apply to somebody who doesn't have a functioning rational faculty(a pre requisite to be considered accountable).
No problem. While you're entitled to your opinion I don't see it as barbaric, nor do others. I also believe rapists(provided conditions are fulfilled) should be executed, but others consider that wrong. Ultimately it goes back to where you derive what you consider right or wrong from.Thanks for clearing that up. However, cutting off limbs is still barbaric and such practices don't belong in the modern age.

I'm with @Brandy on this one. Punishing criminals should be done in such a way that something good ultimately comes from it (like labor or such). If you are going to commit to such purely vengeful practices at least make it proportionate to the crime. Mutilating someone for life for stealing something from a stand is downright barbaric and there's no going around it. Capital punishment is a bit different but it should not be allowed in case of rape simply because of how easy it is to abuse it.
Such severe punishments, however, will always lead to tons of abuse hence why you have a lot of innocent people dying from false accusations or agenda hiding behind the law. One example of that would be persecution of atheists, Christians and other groups that disagree with Islam in predominantly Muslim countries. Then there's an even more severe issue of persecuting LGBT people and even people who simply dress in a way that's not the norm. As a fan of alternative subcultures (emo in particular), I was disheartened to see tons of teens and young adults being publicly executed for dressing emo.
There's a reason why the most successful and advanced countries in the world (West) left behind such laws. They simply don't lead to a healthy society that is good to live in.
Having said that, how does this relate to the OP?
Beware of post deletion, closing of thread and infractions for off-topic discussions. lolBasically this.
We talked about the new law, which turned into a topic of trans people, which turned into a topic of sin, which turned into a topic of religion, which vaguely turned into a topic of Islam, which then turned into this mess. You get it.

I'm all up for joining a discussion on all these topic though, just not in this thread. @salamander uchiha can make a new one if he wishes to discuss these things.
I'm not discussing it, the debates between Luffy and Brandy. I was staying on the original topic and have the French gone bonkers.Beware of post deletion, closing of thread and infractions for off-topic discussions. lol

Let's just act like the debate never happened, maybe the admins won't notice. lol
The French have always been a bit french fried to be honest.

I have to say that never in my life have I ever blamed any community, affiliation or group except this once. This is the first time I've ever did, blaming a community such as atheists. If you, Brandy got pissed off by my attitude, know that, that this is the same exact attitude been used against Muslim community by those who hate Islam for many years.
AND for first time in my life I stuck my nose in foreign affairs that has nothing to do with me and with my country. I'm a Muslim sunni from a Muslim sunni family and community. Everyone better not forget where I come from. What I believe in. What I see right and wrong.
For long years I've debated many people. Asking them to address a certain problem they don't like and to give examples. When they do, specially if it was about my religion, Islam, they misunderstand and yet still misjudge Islam laws. Asking for reform of Islam. I shudder at the thought that it comes so easy to them for asking Islam to be reformed, and it never stopped there. It went to even label Saudis as THE #1 EXTREMIST people in the world.
You see Brandy, religion is part of history and of all things, history is regarded sacred. It's dangerous to alter historical texts of religious books on such flimsy grounds. As much as we've been told in schools in Saudi Arabia that the Old Testament and the Bible have been twisted to suit certain purposes of high ups like leaders, kings or whatever.
Brandy, it's true that I said that an LGBTQ person can be religious, but you never addressed the story of Lot. You seem to avoid it, Brandy. The story of prophet Lot and his people. The people of Lot who killed stole and USED TO MATE THE SAME GENDER.
Is there a gay Muslim in my country, Saudi Arabia? YES, Brandy.
Is there a trans Muslim in my country Saudi Arabia? FUCKING YES, Brandy.
Ask a gay, lesbian, trans, Bi Muslim about the story of prophet Lot. It has been mentioned in the Old Testament, the Bible and Quran. I can tell you that no one of the LGBTQ claiming to be a follower of the Abrahamic religions will comment on that story, because God made it clear His position against killers, thieves and most of all, those who mate the same gender.
I won't be surprised that someday someone, some others would want to alter religious historical texts of the holy books such as the story of prophet Lot (which you avoided it twice if I counted)
Yes, homosexuality existed way before Islam and Christianity. Except Judaism was present back the time of prophet Lot, nephew of prophet Abraham, the prophet of Judaism.
You're telling me not to give a fuk about a story, because it's so ancient. That's your argument.Good for you, buddy.
I will do you one last favor and address the story of Lut. Here we go: I didn't avoid commenting on it, I just don't give two f*cks about a fictional story from the Iron age, and neither should you. If that really is your argument against homosexuality, then there's no hope for you.
You're telling me not to give a fuk about a story, because it's so ancient. That's your argument.
Let it sink in your dead brain, my dear.
Homosexuality is a mental issue and can cause diseases on genetic level. You said it existed thousands of years ago, so it's OK. But a story that not only one religion tells it, but three religions and you call it fictional.
What a great argument that I shouldn't believe a story, because it is from over 5 or 6 thousand years ago, but homosexuality as a practice between some humans for all pleasure is OK, despite the health problems that come from homosexuality. Let's throw from the window any scientific research about the threat of homosexuality. AWESOME! and being a "romantic attraction" or whatever won't make it right. Not ever.
If you don't give a fuk for what I say and believe, it's not your right to judge me.
Leave. This debate you have no snow ball chance in hell to prove me wrong.

I can also point to stories from the Iron Age, like stories from Greek Mythology, where the gods Eros, Himeros and Pothos are sometimes considered patrons of homosexual love between males. Eros is also part of a triad of gods that played roles in homosexual relationships, along with Heracles and Hermes, who bestowed qualities of beauty, loyalty, and strength, onto male lovers. In the poetry of Sappho, Aphrodite is identified as the patron of lesbians.Brandy, it's true that I said that an LGBTQ person can be religious, but you never addressed the story of Lot.

Try and search the healthy benefits of homosexuality.
Accusing me of contradictory. Which is intellectual dishonest.
