     @MK2boogaloo Everyone's faith waivers from time to time. My family was never very religious except for my grandmother. I was an atheist as a teenager until I was 18. Since then I've never lost my faith. I don't really consider myself apart of any specific denomination. I just focus on my relationship with Christ.

     @MK2boogaloo if he reads the story of their "prophet" and thinks thats a guy he should follow then he's either a psychopath pedophile or has never read the quran and was just peer pressured

     @Fullmetal2255 that's good for you buddy, just make sure you don't neglect other aspect of the faith.

     @teto I think it's the latter, Malaysians are full of Muslims and by the looks of it he's there because a friend of his convinced him.

     @MK2boogaloo I've noticed a lot of Islamic admiration among Christians these last few years.
     
     So far as I can tell, it is because the Muslims have the harshest form of legalism. And, Christians who do not know the Gospel say "ahh this is what we need to turn the church around! If only everyone was so dedicated!"

     @hazlin yes, mainly because they've never been raised in a Christian oriented environment. Christians who developed this sort of stigma are always retarded, probably just posers.

     @MK2boogaloo Since I grew up around muslims I know what it's like but if he let himself be converted there must be something wrong with his relationship to his parents or this wouldn't've happened

     @teto yeah most likely. I never understand that religion, it's like something alien to me even living in a majority Muslim country.

     @MK2boogaloo @hazlin it was mostly just americans who pushed forward the stigma against muslims anyway, and those aren't real christians

     @MK2boogaloo @hazlin it's natural to have it, but mutts would push it HARD with all the war in the near east propaganda, i say leave them the fuck alone but because america has to care about israel for some reason they can't leave the near east alone

     @MK2boogaloo @hazlin more or less, not to mention that this isn't even our concern cuz none of us command political might

     @MK2boogaloo I do, but not in the way that you mean.
     
     I was raised Christian, I have gold baubles from my confirmation to prove it. But the message never stuck for me; there was never any comfort in "let go and let God" or anything like that. Besides that, I never felt right abdicating responsibility for my actions onto someone else. I'll accept my own consequences for my own actions, whatever they might be. Anything else feels dishonest to me.
     
     I do think there's a super-natural force/power/entity that is aware and influential, but I don't believe that there's any sort of redemption or even concern for the affairs of humanity at that level. "God" in my view doesn't concern themselves with any species much less any individual. The fate of a planetary ecosystem, then maybe, but even that is borderline. Their concerns are much broader and general. In short, you could call it some type of wishy-washy Deism if you like.
