I'm very disappointed by the lack of hardball questions; islam, both as written and as practiced, is evil.<br>It enforces conformity, discourages thought and encourages violence against those who stray on a massive scale.<br>It is not possible to be reasonable, benevolent and a muslim.,(reply>), Why lie lil bro?,(reply>), I mean imagine the hell that would unleash on himeself if he went through with the hardball question strategy, and that if we assume that this guy will respond without tweaking the true teachings of the ideology to make it sound "nicer". As an ex-muslim who lived most of his life in a msulim country (which is not even that hardcore when it comes to religion), i agree with your concise description of it. But a muslim will lie to you in the face and tell you you're wrong, racist and an islamophobe, and that you don't actually get the religion (because they do lol).<br><br>I mean, i knew friends that will blatantly lie about the true teachings they were taught when they talked about Islam to non-muslims, just to make their ideology sound "nicer"," and they know they're lying. It's so interesting seeing the cognitive dissonance manefesting in their face as they conjure up a tweaked light version of their religion.<br><br>I don't even know at this point what do they actually believe in", it's like the true main ideology is to defend the main charecters of Islam (allah and mohammed) even if that meant blood, or to spread it, but most don't actually really live by it as they should, lol. The whole thing is a giant in-groupe bias filled with a shitload of cognitive dissonance, it's sad and funny at the same time. When i was a muslim, I knew muslims that are reasonable (in limits) and quite benovlent, hell i was one. But guess what, we were muslim because we grew up in a muslim country, we didn't pray, we cheated on ramadan, we drank we fucked. etc.,(reply>), @Shorts House Skimmed through it; I'm not gonna listen to this dribble for 3 hours.<br>But if there is a hardball in there somewhere, I'd love to hear it,(reply>), How can you listen to a 3hr podcast in 1hr and make a judgement?
