What if they’re something bad like gay, trans, brown, or communist though?

    “Arabs are more extremist because they know Arabic” argument is a over-simplification

    Oh definitely, it does have something to do with that but it is definitely not the sole reason.

    Like most flavors of religious people, the problem is not being unable to read, but not wanting to read

    Back when I was a muslim, I remember not reading translations for some parts of the quran because I was scared of becoming an atheist.

    The mental gymnastics they go through to justify the verses saying cum is produced in the backbone or sun sets into mud is funny, but my personal favorite is when quran did a mathematical error whilst explaining inheritance

      That’s crazy, yeah I ended up befriending most of the muslim community at my school so I kinda just hang out with them. But I notice they are very committed to learning and memorizing the Quran. They ask their sheik a ton of questions in order to interpret things correctly.

      But like I’m atheist so I kinda know that there has to be a lot of stuff in there that’s crazy despicable

        correctly

        That’s your keyword right there 😉

        Unlike some other people who run legacy religions, we still get frequent updates and DLCs from the devs

        Let it be known though quran is the ONE AND ONLY UNCHANGED BOOK YOU FUCKING HEATHEN changing the interpretation of it (literally the middleman process for coverting written text to thoughts) DOES NOT COUNT!

        On another note I should go become a sheik or an islamic cult leader or something, mad money in that business.
