Ruthlessly question your convictions. Not as a means to end up with "nobody knows" but to find answers that can stand up to the onslaught.
If it's impossible for you to verify something, it is irresponsible for you to preach it.
The worst kind of blind faith is to believe that all people of faith have blind faith.
Look normal and question everything ...
The reality is that we are all stuck on a tiny speck of space dust being dragged along by a slightly bigger speck, which in turn is tossed around by much much bigger ones. None of them belong to any one of us. And yes we are all one and the sooner we realize that the quicker we will stop getting in each other's way and escape to a better place, together
If your beliefs are solely based on the reviews done by others and if your opinion of my beliefs is also based on the reviews done by others then we have nothing to discuss because neither your beliefs nor your opinions are your own.
The worst possible way to handle your eternity is to put it in the hands of those who in turn rely on people they have never met.
Without verification and validation not only are we allowing others to expose us to a twisted version of reality but in the process also allow ourselves to become detached from reality, even up to a point where we lose the ability to care one way or another.
If you are not willing to verify your faith for yourself then don't be surprised when others tell you what you ought to believe.
We live in a world where the most popular peace song is imagining it and the best love song is all about leaving and where we applaud speeches still dreaming of equality. We live in a world where our leaders are obsessed with deceiving us and we let them. We live in a world where religion is a dirty word and war the number one job creator. We live in a world where children are taught to become doctors and lawyers to make money. We live in a world where you need lawyers. We live in a world where journalists are reduced to reading the Teleprompters and teachers are obsessed with compliance. We live in a world where whistleblowers against corruption are outcasts and the corrupt are whistling their way to the bank. We live in a world where banks are people and too big to fail and people are the banker's bank. We live in a world where the word of God needs to be explained by men and the words of men are circular.
It should not be that a human being must go through some terrible life-changing experience or a chance encounter before having the opportunity to discover the truth.
A hypocrite is a person who is more nice to people living outside his or her home than those living inside. Now look up what will happen to hypocrites in the Quran
Those who are not shocked after the "science of Hadith" is explained to them cannot possibly have understood it.
Which is the second most memorized (word for word) book?
The fear of the tribe morality is the biggest chink in the "armor" of the Godless. And an individual's choice to risk getting away with it renders it completely useless.
So basically all one needs to learn and teach is: How to tell the truth from the lies and the other way around.
The beginning of all empires is theft ...... Killings comes much later.
Truth is not always bitter but the manner of its delivery can cut open souls. Truth-bearers tend to beat down on people. They blunder in believing that they can get away with anything just because truth happens to be on their side. Truth-bearer must be merciful and humble lest hearts are hardened permanently.
The two most abused pretexts for oppression must be honor and respect.
The real value of truth doesn't lie in its constant discovery but the successful stitching of it into a popular narrative.
