So you are saying they are invited as long as they are willing to endure people trying to change them?

  No I didn't say that at all, and that's a petulant response honestly. Re-read my comment. I said Islam instructs people to make their feelings subordinate to them rather than the other way around. The other replies to the GP were not so different from what I'm saying. You're hardly required to state your sexual orientation each time you pray, if that's the sort of line of reasoning you're taking here.

    Perhaps I misunderstood you? What did you mean with > instead you are seen as a blank slate and whatever actions you do impact your life here and the life hereafter I assumed you meant that people will be welcomed because they are a blank slate that can be written upon by those seeking to influence them.

      I read it as you are your own blank slate to write on as you choose

      Lol, Blank slate does not mean for others to write on you. Blank slate means for you to be free of your own tendencies and not be beholden to your desires. And able to write your own Character.

  (in reply to the post you just sent) I can't actually reply to comments that far down, I guess that's a HN quirk I didn't notice all this time until just now but yeah I also just covered that in a reply to someone else https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35657964 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=35657964
