The death penalty does work, and it's not abhorrent when applied correctly. What's abhorrent is what we're witnessing today.

It's very uncommon where I am. Rape is severely punished. There are many countries like this, we're not "liberal" countries so they don't align with the Western media agenda.

As a non-American, non-Christian, I find the entire fiasco quite weird. Like a lot of cases in the US, why don't they address the core issue? If rape is so common, how about punish the rapists like other advanced countries do? Yes, inc

Depends on which religion. Islam does: * https://quran.com/51/56 * https://quran.com/67/2 And more.

We have proof (e.g. Big Bang) that the universe did not exist forever. Secondly, asking "who created God" is similar to seeing a piece of bread, asking who baked it, then asking "who baked the baker"? It's a logical

As a Muslim, Islam's stance is quite nuanced. God does lay out rules that govern our world (called Sunan in Arabic, plural of Sunnah - path or way or method, etc.), and we accept causality in general. At the same time, we believe that

This is not acceptable for the majority of Muslims, who are Sunnis. We have clear texts prohibiting such a marriage.

Who said that such decisions are personal, and won't affect society?

> Adult people having a fun night in a hotel room is not harming anyone. Are you sure? What if they publicize it? And why is "harm" (as vague as that can be) the main determinant of how one should act? What if such harm is not

Who defines "fundamental human rights". I think once you start poking, you'll easily see that such a definition is frail and subjective.

And this is why you don't take "google searches" seriously. Anyone can write anything, let alone a clearly anti-Islamic website like the one you linked to. Many many scholars have spoken against the validity of such a marriag

Java has nothing to do with what you described. Its modern frameworks are extremely productive and performant. Just because you might have had a bad experience with one team that moves slowly (who may very well have their reasons), does not

You're right, this has nothing to do with Java. Spring Boot and other modern Java stacks are quite great and very productive actually, as you already know quite well.

Do you think it's fair to compare something written in Struts to a modern Java framework like Spring Boot or Quarkus? I'd bet that it would have taken a similar time to rewrite in one of those frameworks as it took to do your rewr

Why is warm weather more efficient than cold out of curiosity? I would have guessed that cold air being denser means better efficiency.

> It's just that stating "God created the universe." immediately leads to the question "Who created God?" Simple answer: this is a logically contradictory question to ask. It's basically the same as saying:

> Nobody should have the power to subvert the meaning of time. Interesting take, but isn't setting an interest rate doing exactly that, whatever that rate is? This is why, the Islamic approach is the most superior one: no lending mo

Quite sad how the whole thing got polarizingly politicized.

That's interesting. Do you have the rationale for why that is the case? What about recovered individuals?

> Third, COVID-19 vaccination status was not considered in this analysis, nor were potentially confounding factors... because data were not available, were inconsistent... Dang. Would have liked to see the outcome here.

Just because there are many mutually exclusive religions, does not imply that none of them are correct. Look up genetic fallacy. The "Abrahamic" faiths have demonstrated themselves, but only one remains uncorrupted: Islam. You can

The evidence of The Creator is your very existence. He is just how we are able to articulate in our language. We are limited, and He chose to reveal Himself using He, so who are we to question? > or that it has any involvement after crea

> Without evidence, that's why it's called faith No one said faith should be based on blind belief. You can most certainly have faith based in evidence. It's not a dichotomy.

by azth 4y ago
You're presenting a false dichotomy. Islam doesn't say that the world is 6,400 years old, and as far as I'm aware, neither do most followers of Judaism and Christianity believe in that either. > One thing religions don&#x2

Monotheism existed before polytheism. The fact that monotheism "is better than polytheism for population control" is a completely orthogonal topic to the truth of the monotheistic claim. This in fact, is a logical fallacy called t

Of course it is, because of the implications that come out of it. Either it came out of nothing (a logically absurd claim), in which case nothing really matters. Or, it was initiated by an entity, The Creator, in which case you'd want

What is factually incorrect then as far as this discussion goes?
