[Serious Discussion] Religion

[KaBooM]

The most impressive part about this topic is actually Maka's use of "mayn't" on the second page.
M-Jeeli and KaBooM's progress towards becoming free-thinkers just warms my heart though, I wish you guys the best of luck because honestly, you'll need it. If you guys ever grow up and have kids of your own then I'm glad to know that they won't be indoctrinated early on, and I'm sure will be given the choice to join any religion (based on facts behind each one), or remain atheist if they desire.

Thanks :p
I'll make sure my kids live a better free life than I did.

I disagree with the part that any Muslim who stops believing in god and abandons his religion shall be killed by the 'law' of Islam.

Try to get it from the Quraan itself, not from the internet. I have happened to find a LOT of unwritten things in the Quraan mentioned in the Internet.

I'm a Muslim, but I'm not an overly, or even normally, religious person. I don't pray, I don't do any Islamic traditions, except in Ramadan, and I find it joyful.

Some may believe it's retarded, some may not. Nevertheless, regardless of whether God is real or not, or Islam is true or not, it's just a way to make people live properly, if they follow what they're told to do by their religion.

tl;dr - A lot of Islamic countries would go totally chaotic if there were no Islam.

Bloodster, you said yourself that you're not that religious then according to Islam you have no right to disagree with an official fatwa unless you're given permission by the authorities (In other words, have deep knowledge in religion). I was religious so I pretty much know that. Mohammad killed over 11 apostates in his time (if I remember correctly).
And a few other returned to Islam so they won't be killed, but left it right when mohamad died but were killed by the caliph.

I didn't just take that fatwa from the internet, I took it from a site that 50% of Muslims resort to. You can search as much as you want either from the internet or books or ask any of your sheikhs, I doubt that you'll find any reliable Islamic source that says otherwise. We've even been taught this at school.
