That means I didn’t think you are hopeless. That means I still think you might improve. There is hope for you.<br><br>But if you are in your 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s and have sufficient trainings in natural sciences and yet you still have those level of analytical capability and understanding"," that means no more knowledge or experience (with age) can help you.<br><br>I have mentioned in my previous response that your using the FEMALE DRIVER as part of your argument shows that:<br><br>1) You are emotional (or whatever word that is the opposite of rationally analytical). You are upset that women in ONE COUNTRY can’t drive (without understanding the reason behind the prohibition that is very understandable) and instantly assume that the prohibition is Religion-related and assume that the entire Muslim women aren’t allowed to drive. --&gt; you cannot control your reason because it is clouded by your emotion.<br><br>2) You don’t ask yourself (to research or check) whether the same prohibition applies anywhere else. --&gt; This is a serious lack of capacity in analysis. This is sad. And this also prove that you haven't read Qur'an and haven't gotten the concept of Islamic law.<br><br>3) You thought that Saudi Arabia IS THE ENTIRE Islamic world. --&gt; This is a serious lack of capacity in analysis or you are just (this is me being kind: ) LAZY. You get one thing and run with it. <br><br>4) You don’t ask yourself to check whether the prohibition is based on religious teaching or local condition. --&gt; Again"," lack of capacity in analytical reasoning. <br><br>Those 4 points show that you aren’t a worthy discussion partner. If you aren’t young and you have trainings in natural sciences and YET YOU ARE STILL GREEN"," that means there is no hope. I don’t want to waste my time trying to electrify (start the electricity) of a car that doesn’t have an engine. <br><br>I have responded to your comment about Pew’s poll. Do you know the consequences (the resulted meaning) of the use of the following words in research: poll", believe, should," want?<br><br>You say: 72% believe sharia should be law (bring on the oppression)<br>My response: Do you even know what the muslim sharia laws are? Judging from your sentences", I KNOW that you don’t know what it is. If I ask you which part of the sharia law that bring on the oppression," you don’t even have the faintest clue. <br><br>You say: 66% want religious courts to handle family law<br>My response: Do you know what the Islamic family laws are? Again"," I bet that you haven’t a clue.<br><br>The point about: 93% say you must always obey your husband  Have you asked why so many women are willing to listen to their husbands and haven’t been feminized? Haven’t it occurred to you that perhaps because 93% husbands in Indonesia ALWAYS only suggest what’s good for their wives.  You should check whether the 7% women are unhappy in their marriage or happen to marry men they do not respect (they got unlucky and married men who are less smart", less honest, less diligent, less reliable, less dependable," etc. than what the other 93% women got)<br><br>You say: 94% DUDE!!! 94% believe you need god to be a moral person? Is this before or after the 76% want to execute those who leave Islam? 76%???????? I do t even trust polls like this. You guys probably actually hate sharia but only say you don’t so you won’t fucking die….<br>I say: Nope. We don’t hate sharia law. We have been living by it. Religious court in Indonesia has been present for a very long time for Muslims. And the discussion about moral", I am not willing to teach trigonometry to someone who hasn’t gotten a clue about a right triangle is.<br><br>Don't even waste your time reading the Bible and Qur'an.,(reply>), @Ibu Kontraktor<br><br>And I think it’s disgusting how fast you are to judge people. You don’t know my age, you don’t know my background but you continue to “suspect” you do….you’re wrong about my age, my background, and my education. <br><br>Now I’m gonna smash…..you didn’t research anything about religious oppression studies done by pew research center…you googled something like, oppression in Islam Pee research center, then you pressed the first one on the list. This is why you said “ you only found stuff about American Muslims” lol….scroll down a little bit next time before you claim I’m not being analytical. You’re being lazy about it. Here….this is all Indonesian Muslim polls<br>72% believe sharia should be law (bring on the oppression)<br>66% want religious courts to handle family law<br>94% DUDE!!! 94% believe you need god to be a moral person? Is this before or after the 76% want to execute those who leave Islam? 76%???????? I do t even trust polls like this. You guys probably actually hate sharia but only say you don’t so you won’t fucking die….<br>93% say you must always obey your husband <br>I mean come on….you honestly think it’s okay to say that because you have a good like 1.8 billion people all have a good life because they follow Quran…..and I’m not analytical?,(reply>), @Aisha Abdi I think he is an INTJ. I don't think he is an INFJ. He said things that an INFJ will never say ever.,(reply>), Lex are you an INFJ 5w4? You've got a great balance between heart and mind..,(reply>)," @MC BLU <br>“You said that women Muslims in Indonesia don’t say they are oppressed. So I brought up the psychology of oppression telling you that we don’t wait for the oppressed to tell us they aren’t. You said you wanted examples. I brought up pew research IN YOUR COUNTRY.”<br><br>There is another important thing to remember when judging/evaluating other culture: Don’t use your yardstick to evaluate other cultures. For example: In your culture", you kick your girls out of your house when they reach the age of 18. Why? What good can come out of it? Some of them end up in Only-Fans to finance their life, or date any men just for dinner, or pretend to want to live with a man so that they don’t have to pay their rent, or aspire to be baby mama so that they can extract money from the baby daddy as per court order," they become sexually liberated (Yeay!) and need to have abortion of all reasons be legal.   <br><br>We don’t do that. We don’t kick our girls when they reach the age of 18 because girls/women are always protected and provided for.<br>Boy"," you missed big there. <br><br>And what oppression do we", Indonesian women, face? I really don’t see it. I drive, I travel, I have master degree and currently working toward my Ph.D, I worked in MNCs until Country Head position and I have NEVER been paid less than a man for exactly similar position (in fact I am always paid more than the men for exact same position except for the time when I worked part-time when I was still doing my Bachelor degree, I was paid only equal)," now I have my own businesses.<br><br>Islam allows women to divorce their husbands: Surah Al-Baqarah", Chapter 2, Verse 228: "And women shall have rights similar to the rights against them, according to what is equitable; but men have a degree (of advantage) over them. And Allah is Exalted in Power," Wise." <br>Could you please send me the link to Pew Research on Indonesian women so that we read the same research and base our discussion on the same information? <br><br>You wrote: Again", 67% of YOUR OWN COMMUNITY (in Indonesia) believes women don’t have the right to divorce. That only shows their lack of knowledge of sharia law. It only shows what women belief," not what is actually true. (C’mon! You can do better than that.)<br><br>My Grandfather was poor because he was in exile due to political condition in Indonesia at that time. He had 3 sons and 5 daughters. He made his oldest 2 sons stop studying so that they could help him work to send all daughters to universities and none of my uncles ever regret that decision. So"," I don’t understand what right that we don’t have when our men obviously do everything they can FOR our benefit.<br><br>I drive. I drove myself for 6 years (I circled Java Island", drove to Bali, from Bali to Jakarta, to Sumatra, in Greece, in Australia, in Tasmania) but then I can afford a driver. Since then, I always use a driver because it is more productive that way for me because it allows me to work on my laptop or make phone calls when I am in the car," that’s why my career progressed very well.<br><br>Anybody who claims that Islam is oppressive toward women HAS NEVER read Qur’an and Bible"," and therefore their claims that Islam oppresses women is either 1) emotional (due to their trauma with their own previous religion and then project it to Islam) or 2) lie (has never studied Islam but claim to understand it) or 3) green (impressionable and take any hear say without properly vetting what they hear). <br><br>Seriously?! You thought I brought up about traffic light is because I thought men and women have different rules for traffic light? Really? I brought it up to show you that there are some rules that we have to follow with the purpose of protecting us and we shouldn’t instantly consider the rules as impeding our human right to just drive carelessly. (I mean"," oh my God! And that’s why I believe you are green. You don’t have sufficient thoughts/data in your mind to be able to see things from many enough angles).<br><br>Another reason I said that you are still green was because you wrote: “…as far as atheism", I searched and have found ZERO reason to believe in a god or gods. Every religion has contradictions…” When you put ALL religions in the same basket," it shows that you have never studied comparative study at all and yet make conjectures.  <br><br>And another reason: When you bring up the issue of female drivers", the prohibition of which happens ONLY in Saudi Arabia and yet you thought that the prohibition applies in the entire world for Muslim women, it shows that 1) You are emotional (or whatever word that is the opposite of rationally analytical). You are upset that women in ONE COUNTRY can’t drive (without understanding the reason behind the prohibition that is very understandable) and instantly assume that the prohibition is Religion-related and assume that the entire Muslim women aren’t allowed to drive. 2) You don’t ask yourself (to research or check) whether the same prohibition applies somewhere else 3) You thought that Saudi Arabia IS THE ENTIRE Islamic world. 4) You don’t ask yourself to check whether the prohibition is based on religious teaching or local condition (I am going to let you do the research yourself about the condition there, please don’t make me make another video to explain it. I am busy, I have an important exam on Monday and right after it, I will be travelling," island-hopping on the many islands east from Bali for 3 weeks.)<br><br>Just that ONE subject (about driving) instantly shows how GREEN you are in your analytical capacity. I am not saying you are stupid"," I am saying you have a lot of experiences to gain and capacity to develop before a discussion with you I would find interesting. <br><br>My suggestion is to read Qur’an and the Bible. I understand that the Bible is a painful reading because the characters in it and their behaviors make me squirm many times and upset and angry (reading it made me understand why in the past only Catholic priests were allowed to read it)", but just read it so that next time your comment is based on knowledge," not just hearsay. Qur’an is a much easier reading. It is only 80% the length of NEW Testament (or roughly 20-25% of the length of the entire Bible) and there is nothing in there that will make you cringe.<br><br>Based on your reason for being an atheist", I speculate that your training is mostly in social science background and not much in natural science background. I am wishing you good luck on your journey to find enlightenment. Atheists are actually my favorite kind of people (as long as they aren’t the angry kind) because Atheists are usually ready for a discussion and I love worthy intellectual discussions when my interlocutors have something to offer.
