LOL! I cant believe someone would be so narrow minded. ANd the funny thing about people like that is, they thing religious people are narrow minded (some are, fair enough), but a lot less than him.
Anyways, to me, its great to believe in a religion, but if you know its history, you should realise that not all of it is perfect. SOme were interpreted, and given maybe the wrong meanings. So its good to question certain aspects of them. I questions some things in my religion all the time. Because some of the things in it, I simply dont agree with, and some I find wrong. FIrstly, the scriptures (most of them), are opened to interpretations, and certain people took it upon themselves, to give the one and only interpretation. So there is room for them getting it wrong, because they are human, just like me. WHich imo, gives me the right to disagree with certain interpretations.
BUt I will never come out and say, thats rubbish, religion doent exist, god doesnt exist etc...

You just said it was a great thing to believe in a religion then you gave virtually every one of the best reasons for NOT believing in a religion.

Why cant you just search for God without the need for the crutch of religion? You said it yourself, there are endless interpretations. How do you know yours is right based on what you selfishly choose to either accept or reject? Why bother at all?

Thats not the religion though. did you even read my post? Thast some scriptures, that people claim, are from the prophet mohammed. BUt they are not from the Kuran. MY point is, this could be just something someone claimed, he heard the prophet MOhammed say. Which is not necessarily true.
I dont refute anything that says in the book. But its very poetic. And when I dont understand something, I will ask people to explain, but will only accept it, i it makes sense to me. I wont accept anything that doesnt make sense in my mind. And me believing in god, does not mean I dont need the help of the book. ANd it gives me structure, and guidance.

Its like saying, why o you listen to your parents, and follow what they say? Why not just do whatever pleases you? Or why do you believe teachers, and their teachings? ITs a silly attitude to have imo. BUt to each their own.
