2. Someone should issue a fatwa on those that issued one on her.
Edited on Thu Sep-16-10 09:32 PM by RandomThoughts
Although I see the issued on her as meaningless. And would not think such a use of religious decrees to be correct in either case.

It is for social control, not for spiritual reasons.

:shrug:


Religious violence and coercion exist so people can fight without having to feel and think on things.

If you believe a spiritual voice because it says something, and don't think and feel on it, and learn from many people on what is best, then you don't have the 2nd and 3rd defense. And if the 'spiritual' thing you listen to tricks you, then you do something wrong.


I think things make sense from many views, the Holy Trinity, God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

As seen by acts of God's love and justice, and mercy and compassion, first defense.

The son, Jesus Christ in your heart and the ability to think and feel on what is right and wrong, not just doing what you are told by anything, the second defense, within my beliefs.

And the teachings by many people through history on better ideals and thoughts, although each has to decide when something is inspired, many teachings in my view are the 3rd defense, The Holy Spirit.

It also fits ideas of faith, reason, and education.

It all makes so much sense.
