Lizzie and the kids are going for *[for] their prefestival shopping. I decided to just wear what I bought the years before. It doesn't make sense to buy one every year and only wear the clothes once a year.
* As much as possible I will avoid prefestival shopping.
Let's look back at Master Jedi's advice:
Just like sipping a cup of coffee.. everyone has their own unique taste of coffee.. no two-tastes are identical.. the one who walks before you and sip the coffee will tell you the coffee story..but it is still his coffee not yours although you can learn something about coffee from him before tasting it yourself.. your own coffee..
What he is saying here is everybody is responsible for his own line. Each person's experience is uniquely his own. So it is not up to us to judge anybody.
The Stone Worshipers maybe wrong for prostrating to the stone as mentioned here:
(3) Narrated 'Abis bin Rabia: 'Umar came near the black stone and kissed it and said "No doubt, I know that you are a stone and can neither benefit anyone nor harm anyone. Had I not seen Allah's Apostle kissing you I would not have kissed you." (Book #26, Hadith #667)
The belief is ingrained too deep in their belief system. To the point that they will reject anything that will shake their beliefs even if it is as glaring as this:
(8) Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa: Allah's Apostle said, "Know that Paradise is under the shades of swords." (Book #52, Hadith #73)
Even for Master Jedi, he cannot escape the social pressure to conform:
I am in full agreement with you, especially (quoting your text 👇):-
"What you see is not real. Those who know will not tell. They pick and choose what they want to serve their cause. "
They may want very much to tell, but the tongue and ears aren't capable of telling and hearing..hence the Silence of the Truth..
To me this is the most sickening evidence of Conformity Bias. So rampant is the phenomenon that even when I presented this hadith to them, they said that it means the prophet as[] these people not to rape instead of (based on the content and context of the hadith) to go ahead and rape but to not squirt outside but to do it inside. Read it carefully:
What he was saying is, go ahead and squirt inside because if it's meant for the women to get pregnant, that was already preordained. He was not against the raping. He was against squirting outside.
This was not the first time they rape during their ghazwa (raid). They did the same thing when they raided the Jews (Banu Quraiza).
This is the sanitized version, Off course history was written by the victor. My point is this; fine, let say the order for prosecution came from Allah, did Allah also asked the Muslims to RAPE too?
We Muslims of today are apologetic to the doing of those medieval Arabs as if we are related to them. The truth is we don't know how Barbaric were these people. They were forever fighting and killing, using God as an excuse. It was [] God but their leaders who were self serving. God was just another third party reference to their unsatiating lust for power and SEX!
Yes Sarah, that time if a party lost a war, their men were beheaded and the women and children became slaves. To be more specific, the women were SEX SLAVES.
And, forbidden to you are, wedded women, those with spouses, that you should marry them before they have left their spouses, be they Muslim free women or not; save what your right hands own, of captured [slave] girls, whom you may have sexual intercourse with, even if they should have spouses among the enemy camp, but only after they have been absolved of the possibility of pregnancy [after the completion of one menstrual cycle]; this is what God has prescribed for you.
Qur'an 4:24
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
Tafsir al-Jalalayn
I don't know about the rest of the Muslim population. As for me I listen to Ar Razi:
Razi wrote three books dealing with religion; they were: The Prophets' Fraudulent Tricks (Arabic مخارق الانبياء), The Stratagems of Those Who Claim to Be Prophets (Arabic Øيل المتنبيين), and On the Refutation of Revealed Religions (Arabic نقض الادیان). He offered harsh criticism concerning religions, in particular those religions that claim to have been revealed by prophetic experiences. Razi asserted that "[God] should not set some individuals over others, and there should be between them neither rivalry nor disagreement which would bring them to perdition."[16] He argued,
"On what ground do you deem it necessary that God should single out certain individuals [by giving them prophecy], that he should set them up above other people, that he should appoint them to be the people's guides, and make people dependent upon them?[16]
Concerning the link between violence and religion, Razi expressed that God must have known, considering the many disagreements between different religions, that "there would be a universal disaster and they would perish in the mutual hostilities and fighting. Indeed, many people have perished in this way, as we can see."[16]
He was also critical of the lack of interest among religious adherents in the rational analysis of their beliefs, and the violent reaction which takes its place:
"If the people of this religion are asked about the proof for the soundness of their religion, they flare up, get angry and spill the blood of whoever confronts them with this question. They forbid rational speculation, and strive to kill their adversaries. This is why truth became thoroughly silenced and concealed."[16]
Al-Razi believed that common people had originally been duped into belief by religious authority figures and by the status quo. He believed that these authority figures were able to continually deceive the common people "as a result of [religious people] being long accustomed to their religious denomination, as days passed and it became a habit. Because they were deluded by the beards of the goats, who sit in ranks in their councils, straining their throats in recounting lies, senseless myths and "so-and-so told us in the name of so-and-so..."[16]
He believed that the existence of a large variety of religions was, in itself, evidence that they were all man made, saying, "Jesus claimed that he is the son of God, while Moses claimed that He had no son, and Muhammad claimed that he [Jesus] was created like the rest of humanity."[16] and "Mani and Zoroaster contradicted Moses, Jesus and Muhammad regarding the Eternal One, the coming into being of the world, and the reasons for the [existence] of good and evil."[16] In relation to the Hebrew's God asking of sacrifices, he said that "This sounds like the words of the needy rather than of the Laudable Self-sufficient One."[16]
On the Quran, al-Razi said:
"You claim that the evidentiary miracle is present and available, namely, the Koran. You say: "Whoever denies it, let him produce a similar one." Indeed, we shall produce a thousand similar, from the works of rhetoricians, eloquent speakers and valiant poets, which are more appropriately phrased and state the issues more succinctly. They convey the meaning better and their rhymed prose is in better meter. ... By God what you say astonishes us! You are talking about a work which recounts ancient myths, and which at the same time is full of contradictions and does not contain any useful information or explanation. Then you say: "Produce something like it"?! [16]
From the beginning of the human history, all of those who claimed to be prophets were, in his worst assumption tortuous and devious and with his best assumption had psychological problems.[1]

In the end, we can conclude that God was given too much credits for the evil that ma[d] do. I stand by God's side on the Day of Resurrection. As long as there were CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY regardless of praises and salutations, those people will have to pay the Ferryman.

Response from Master Jedi:
😉...
Disagreements among them started no sooner after the death of the Prophet, the era of Abu Bakr and Umar. Next Usman was killed at the hands of the very own 'religious' people. During Ali, it became even more divided.. that's "religion" to the people, hungry for power
Hadith? The Prophet himself forbade any of his be written down. Hadith only came hundreds of years after the Prophet's death..
Ibnu Arabi..👇
I follow the religion of Love
and go whichever way His camel leads me.
his is the true faith;
This is the true religion.
Master Jedi, I have no respect for the Arabs, then now and forever. I think they are a bunch of self-serving idiots.
