And I know a few people who perhaps go to church occasionally...So a similar disinterest in old religious books.My current bedtime story is Bill Bryson's, The Body, a guide for occupants... Very interesting and informative.
That's the ultimate point of friendship, isn't it? Your friends might have a disinterest in old religious books but they're unique in their own way. Cherishing them through a deeper connection is the first step to a fulfilling life free of insecurities.

I live in a world where unique arts are studied at their own pace. There's common information scattered around the internet, but it only repeats itself. But there's new and fresh knowledge.
People use unethical dark web apps to ban these things from circulating. Not me, I'd rather read them for the remainder of my life.

The Mods are usually quick. When my religious parents were hours away from my flat, mods were quick to deactivate and ban my old account, and that helped me a lot because I was deleting my anti-islamic files at the last minute. I don't recall who it was that helped because I was panicking. But their actions motivated me to stand up against my abusive parents.
Good luck. Freedom of speech is perhaps life's most valuable asset.

Interesting that your primary discourse concentrated upon document and leisure reading.Unique and different I suppose.
Ty. Not uncommon since there's a lot of revisionist lit circulating in bookstores. Even if you prefer solitary reading, it's easier to ask your acquaintances about the antivax theory books they've encountered. Because if you unearth an ancient theology of christianity by yourself, your friends would never read it.

Crimes have been committed under the influence of emotions. Muhammad clearly felt humiliated when people turned on him. When kafir fortresses resiliently stood and exchanged supplies under the cover of night, he justified his future war booties by revealing more verses. Plus, a significant portion of the Quran is dedicated to the eventual punishment of the kafirs, and their final defeat at the hands of muslims. I wouldn't call that a game of survival and sex. He clearly felt slighted and wanted more of what previous prophets have inherited. He was a major power even after he was poisoned, and his wives instigated wars long after his death.
There are limits to felt emotions. If Muhammad had seen a baby succumbing to rabies, he would've had a different turn of events. He would've preached to find a cure rather than justify a list of reasons to slay Kafirs.

Perhaps a way to cheer debates. You can have two of the best debaters arguing about something and if viewers are reluctant to do a close examination, they could just cheer at them. I think that would be fun

Well, I suppose there's good reason for that. A spouse that barely compliments or involves you in her life is probably not someone that you'd want to marry. Unless of course it's exactly the kind of relationship that you'd want. But all bets are off when one partner starts complaining.
...natural role play...evolved human condition
Overthinking might just be a way to experience that sort of emotion (roleplay/condition), because prophets have made verses out of it. For instance, Muhammad had preached islam nonviolently in his early life, until kafirs questioned and bullied him openly. That led Muhammad to forge a series of hatred verses, most of which have allowed muslims to see themselves as "rightful bearers" of truth. Anyway, I think there is nothing really weird about emotion. It's just a way of channeling a person's insecurities.

...i've always been in a position where i pretty much pay for 100% of everythingbut of course, that doesn't keep my partner from making ridiculous demandsit's important to "stand-up-for-yourself" sometimes, but not alwaystry to "pick-your-battles"
I don’t know your arrangement with your partner, but I wouldn’t comply with a toxic partner if they “make ridiculous demands”. My exes once downplayed me for the trivial fact that other people have “moved on to better things". That wasn’t the only insult, because they had also lied in their arguments about things that were trendy, and basically say that friends had looked down on us. Although I have my own reservations about their claims, let’s just say that I do not accept social trends as valid compromises.
You and Wylted have the same advice, but I’m very reluctant to assert my ground right now because I truly believe finding a partner is difficult than what others may think. It is even more difficult to find one that treats you well. My GF rarely changes her mind, and she doesn’t want me to “self-improve” like my previous exes. She wants no evolution whatsoever. i need that stability after family had constantly cited Muhammad and Allah’s curses on me. She is also very open to romance, even though she seems soulless a lot of the times (lol). I think her touch for decor is better than mine even though her friends had looked down on her style sometimes. She doesn’t seem to care, and that is also a plus to me. Her being rebellious is a good thing.
I think it’s an issue of whether she’s willing to let go of her original arrangements, and while I understand moving things around can annoy her, I also need them. But I can’t really blame her. It is annoying waking up at night and finding that I had placed our cups elsewhere. I know it’s trivial to fight over things like misplaced receipts or moved utensils, but she needs her routine just as much as I need mine. Perhaps there’s a way i can leverage Wylted’s reward system and your advice to stand ground on things that really matter. I will give these further thought.

Rent is half each, but all of the apartment decor are pretty much hers. I do the housework. Chores are never shared, but she does want a predictable routine from me which i don't seem to do well. I do change the decor from time to time and i never buy my own.

The edit didn't go through. Guess there was a time limit. It's the same reply to the test's glaring weaknesses. I'll just redo it again.
...women seem to like it when you "want to get to know them better"
She does like my affections. I could probably ease her into the test after dipping into her emotions whenever I'm being romantic.
...towards certain generalized solutions, but we all adjust to our environments to some degree.
I believe emotion isn't necessarily a decision maker. If I'm unaffected by those around me, I'm likely to cultivate my own range of emotions. They help me develop complex ideas especially with sensitive topics like homelessness and cruelty. Even if a homeless person's emotion remain completely unreachable to me, his impression would leave much cultivation for my feelings. A dead chicken provides the same effect. I need not take issue with the butcher like a judgemental feeler, but I can take in the chicken's last moments of pain as unique impressions for my sentiments. I think this doesn't come with disadvantages, though, because i sincerely believe INFPs will make bad campaigners/activists.
I think the test also fails to take note of the purpose of friendship/romance, which is to be in 2 different places at the same time. If i'm talking/romancing with a friend/spouse, I have to somehow 'live' in his place or transfer part of my being to him. After all, I am networking with him. The point of friendship isn't about insecurities; it's about the cultivation of 2 distinct individuals. If I am a musician, my friend/partner can be a poet. I can't function without a poet to read over my work, and he can't function without a musician to inspire him.

what about your gf ?
She's a bit more like an INTJ. The library that I frequent would generally feel intimidated whenever she's around. She once steamrolled a worker to do her printing job. I didn't mind, because i generally care little for what others feel. She's more combative with people not doing their work, but she's silent whenever suffering is encountered (i.e. seeing a homeless man on the street will likely garner significant emotion in me but nothing in her). That should be INTJ, i don't exactly read the test with a critical eye, it's the first time i've read them. You're probably a better judge tbh.

I don't give a shit about her opinion. Maybe she is right, I don't know because I don't listen to her bullshit
There's a difference between being aloof and helping your wife. Do you help her shine if she asks you for a favor? Is your marriage more individualistic or do you move as a "we" (a team)?
You need to take her opinion into account but this looks like a shit test. If you fail it and bend to her will, she will think you are less of a man for bending to her will.Honestly, if she has bad behavior like being short with you with the symbols, just refuse to engage.
It does look like a shit test. I'm seeking understanding, and I'm trying to see her perspective.
Do not reward bad behavior. It honestly makes their pussy wet, when they lose these battles to you
Lol. Is that the key to your lifelong success as a partner? I'm not entirely familiar with western culture, the expats here often keep to themselves.
I think you should stand up for yourself a little. Healthy relationships stem from both people involved being equal, and being open. Your partner may not know that you need something. I know it sounds so sappy, but communication really is key.
We have communicated. When I apostatized and became a Christian, she was willing to accept me even though she remains a staunch militant atheist. Our values merge really well, and our ideas intersect a lot. However, domestic issues remain a thorn for us.
I owe her because when my abusive islamic parents arrived and demanded my stuff with overt threats like "we funded your ticket and travel since your scholarship didn't provide that at all. we need to look at your laptop", she sort of stood up for me and manipulated my parents even for a little bit. She directed them away and basically locked the door when they visit a second time. She also became vehemently angry when her own christian parents arrived to demand her to find a better bf. Her reaction was more open and threatening, because neighbors heard her threats and were frowning on both of us. Anyway, she's willing to disown her own parents so I do feel like i have to "give and take" in the kitchen dilemma. Both of us don't value our parents at all, but she stands more to lose since her parents live at least a few blocks away from us.
She doesn't manage the kitchen, because I do almost all of the cleaning and cooking. She just insisted that I follow her advice because she's irritated that I'd change the kitchen from time to time.

I received INTJ. This free test is as contemporary as the comments that you'd normally discover on reddit. So it isn't entirely accurate, but I'm more of a solid INFP. The description for INFPs is well-written albeit a bit too positive and optimistic.
I'd say around 95% of my personality is close to an INFP. The other 5% is that I'm never insecure around my friends, and I'd never have second thoughts about them. I've only ever had successful friends. I'm also unapologetic about being a hermit when it comes to my habits. My feelings are more likely my own, and I care little for what others are currently feeling. In other words, I don't take in the "feelings" of the room. Memory use is also a very dark thing for me, and would only resurface in extreme stress.

Broadly speaking, there’s an unspoken rule in societies that women are always right in relationships, and that a man should tread carefully when he explicitly rejects his gf’s wishes. When domestic and cohabitation issues arise, a man should listen thoughtfully and ensure in all the right ways that his spouse woud “glow” at the end of their dispute.
Personally, i’ve had firsthand experience in this. My GF would whine a lot about my liberal use of kitchen supplies, even after i’ve devoted my share of the housework. It became a persistent theme in our lives together, and we’d eventually lock horns on trivial things, like arranging plates and washing the sink. I told her that I need the kitchen because it is like my home, second only to my work. She said that she prefers I follow her arrangements, and that I’ll be able to cook/clean if and only if i fulfill her conditions. But when I said “no” to her, she became cold and refused to even indulge in our relationship. Her comments on my work became distant, and her written words became symbols. i’m aware it’s a bad outcome when my own gf starts using emojis as feedback on my work.
Do you agree I should mind myself and not “rock the boat”? That i should help her glow instead by agreeing to her conditions?
For those of you who are married, what is the key to a lifelong success and happiness in your relationships?

(IFF) you believe in certain teachings (THEN) you should follow those teachings
Truth is manifested in Allah's teachings as the ultimate end. This is fine for you, but it lacks the original faith that Muhammad intended to introduce. Muhammad also allegedly (though I have yet to confirm) thinks that the world would end soon since he genuinely believed the he was the last prophet. For him, truth is no longer a trivial claim of analytic properties, but rather a manifestation of how kafirs actively disbelieve in his "truth".
it is impossible to create a logical argument (or counter-argument) for religious teachingsbecause religious teachings are NOT BASED ON LOGIC
Not to muhammad, and his team of Ulamas. The greatest manifestations of mercy is found in Sharia, which extends to all parts of life. Anything the world can't prove (as Ghazali the Mystic said), humanity MUST DEFER TO Muhammad because he was last granted the rightful place of prophesy. More importantly, knowledge within Islam is infinite, and logical contradictions won't affect the truthfulness of their word.
The knowledge you speak of is known to the west but the islamic world would consider it a finite understanding of truthfulness. A finite understanding limits its essential "expression" to that of materialism. These aren't my words.
Knowing this, how would you reply to a senior scholar of islam?
(note that the term 'scholar' is vastly different in the west. Ulama scholars directly affect the societies they live in while western scholars are virtually ignored and sometimes laughed at)

Islam mandates death for those imitating the people of lut. If any one person engages in homosexuality, he/she needs to be slain. Ali Ibn Abi Talib, revered icon of Shiism and noted "Lion of Allah", agrees that homosexuality should be punishable by death. His companions describe various methods, one of which includes beheading and/or throwing off the violating kafir off a cliff/building. So long as "islamic matrydom" isn't imposed, deviants can be killed for engaging in acts which Allah has forbid.
Islam clearly disregards life when Allah's rule is deliberately violated.
Make a steelman case why life isn't valuable for the Kafirr and why life is more valuable for the follower of Muhammad/Ali.
Some possible points for you to think on:
1)Muhammad believes that meat rots because the Jews disobeyed Allah and his messengers. Allah has punished the Jews for disobeying so much of Allah's prophets by introducing rot into the world.
2)Musa's real followers are in heaven when Muhammad ascended on the flying donkey called Buraq. Jewish lives don't count in the year 2024. Well they do, only if they're dhimmies.

it would have to be argued that sharia law will make allah happy and or result in the maximum number of souls elevated to jannah
Which explains the monolith rulings of islam.
...seems to be "argumentum ad baculum"
The use of Kalam (bolded above) is explicitly forbidden in contemporary islam. Only the Ulama council are allowed access, and only for purpose of refutation. If you want a close example, search for a pirated copy of "The Incoherence of the Philosophers" by Ghazali the Mystic. Ghazali is revered in Ashari circles (that's at least half of the middle east, AND ALL of Asia).

Well, if you check the Christian Debates in Renaissance France, the free press had had to fight against the incredibly well-funded christian church. And, the debates were basically modern amusement parks since no serious theological critique was publicly debated. But, they had conceptions that differed greatly from the bible. I'm confident that's different from Islam, whose serious scholars have trumped almost every modern, reformist thought. Sure, you can group Abu Mansor against Ibn Taymiyyah, but that's like arguing the difference between a spiral and a conventional staircase.

Please do a defense of Maqasid Sharia. Draw from your own perspectives instead of using the original "founders/apologetics" to defend such an idea.
"Islam aimed only at obtaining a hearing for its message, so that anyone who might want to accept it would be free to do as he wished, while anyone who wanted to reject it could be the master of his own destiny"
Sharia isn't just criminal law. It encompasses prostration, human freedom, justice and charity for the perservation of Allah's main articles of faith for the believers. For muslim societies, an abrupt change in family lineages, traditions and modernization would mean a sign of abandonment of all things that Allah commands. Although Allah strictly sees the universe in a determinist view, muslims retain free will in Allah's world.
Why should everyone, even dhimmies and kafirs, abide by Allah's rule?
(Suggestion: You may use incompatibilist critique to expand Allah's conception of Qadar, or defend it with a rigorous account of compatibilism. Again, if you can, draw from your own perspectives, I've already read classical Maturidis and every other evil ulama filth out there.)

Hamas is unlikely to agree to anything that resembles a clear ‘Yahood’ victory. Though, I guess you could force the other palestinians to agree to such terms, assuming they have an authority beyond being ruled by Hamas. Doing so will involve some form of guerilla warfare from Hamas for the next few decades, even if there’s a share of goodwill from Israel. Hamas has the financial backing of the entire muslim world, and they would want to draw this out as much as possible.
Anyone can easily understand the perspective of an average Hamas combatant. They abide by the Quran, a rich and ancient code that was officially published by King Uthman (the prophet’s companion and third king of his Rashidun caliphate). Any laws instructed by it are further supplemented by the Hadith (i.e. Bukhari, Muslim). Since Israel has stolen of something that muslims possess, here are some relevant (and valid) perspectives on the ideology championed by Hamas.
Consider the story of Ibn Taymiyyah, an islamic scholar responsible for renewing the primitive conception of Islam:
“Jihad linguistically means to exert one’s utmost effort in word and action; in the Sharia it is the fighting of the unbelievers and involves all possible efforts that are necessary to dismantle the power of the enemies of Islam including beating them, plundering their wealth, destroying their places of worship and smashing their idols.This means that jihad is to strive to the utmost to ensure the strength of Islam by such means as fighting those who fight you and the dhimmies (if they violate any of the terms of the treaty) and the apostates (who are the worst of unbelievers, for they disbelieved after they have affirmed their belief).”
- That all dhimmies must pay the Jizya Tax and abide by all islamic viewpoints which are public. If dhimmies fatally affect islam's viewpoint and sanctity, they are branded as a KAFIR. Any courts, clubs, bars and political movements that violate Islam must have their rights refused.
The handicapped, blind and retarded are exempted from combat. Until such a time that they are, as Ibn Taymiyyah puts it:
“As for those who cannot offer resistance or cannot fight, such as women, children, monks, old people, the blind, handicapped and their likes, they shall not be killed, unless they actually fight with words and acts. Some scholars are of the opinion that all of them may be killed, on the mere ground that they are unbelievers, but they make an exception for women and children since they constitute property for Muslims...Any group of people that rebels against any single prescript of the clear and reliably transmitted prescripts of Islam must be fought, according to the leading scholars of Islam, even if the members of this group pronounce the Islamic Confession of Faith…The adulterers, homosexuals, and those who abandon jihad, the innovators and the alcoholics, as well as those who associate with them, are a source of harm to the religion of Islam. They will not co-operate in matters of righteousness and piety. So whoever does not shun their company is, in fact, abandoning what he has been commanded to do and is committing a despicable deed.”

The repeat is intentional. Islam repeats, even in hiding. The Prophet Muhammad didn't style himself as just a warlord and commanded the stoning of adulterers and polytheists. He took his time, because according to him, Allah commanded him to. When Polytheists reigned in Mecca, all Muhammad could do was wait, because he had no political or military power to confront them. Search a treatise written by Ibn Taymiyyah and you'll see complex justification for why every muslim should wage 'military' jihad, both in moments of weakness and strength. In moments of powerless and oppression, Muslims are obligated to secretly gather some form of "warchest" even if the governing party is outwardly anti-islam. Unless non-muslims subject themselves to the rulings of Allah, and pay the Jizya, the muslims ARE OBLIGATED TO WAGE WAR.
Your words are EXACTLY the same words preached by muslim clerics. When rebellious free-hair iranians are tortured and jailed, the words uttered by the committee were often in some variation of "you should've known better than to disobey Allah". But, I guess for the purpose of this discussion, I could see why you'd think it's repetitive. I do have the fortunate experience of feeling what it's like to be on the receiving side of someone complaining things are getting repetitive. Not to me though, especially on islam. I'm forced to live in a fundamentalist environment; I'll press boundaries to my heart's content. No one in the west seems to understand what Exmuslims have been repeating, and the west would rather advise the israelis to adopt disingenous slogans like "Let's confront Radical Islamism" as opposed to actually addressing the root cause of it: Islam.

They are humans, albeit with intent to kill every israeli kafir harbi. Perhaps they have a feverish belief to prove to everyone that their prophet was a perfect manifestation of mercy, even if they had a good record of gunning down random israeli citizens. The intent to reduce civilian casualties should not downplay the clear, obvious threat that islam poses to the west. For example, all of Hamas battalions are revered as heroes in the muslim world, even if the battalion consists of only rapists and pedophiles (though, only if they prey on kafir harbi children; they'd still get punished and disowned if they start molesting muslim kids though).

For those disbelievers wanting to adapt and survive, there is a philosophical question relevant to the palestinian discourse that any of you can answer:
Is the Quran uncreated or created?
Careful there, disbelievers. Any theological answer that somewhat resembles like an attack on the sanctity of Islam will perhaps earn you a ticket to Islamic "Rehab". According to muslims, when rebellious "blasphemous" elements stir within society, they are subjected to Sharia court discussions. Perhaps you can attend a sharia court and swindle your way out of it by performing Tawbah and acknowledge the sin publicly (lol), or perhaps the court itself will decide your fate. Who rules the court? Muslims. Who rules the truth and vivacity of theological claims within Islam? Also Muslims. And, who rules whether Prophet Muhammad was a pedophile? Also Muslims.
Good luck living in a system where only Muslim Lives Matter. My advice: throw the moderates out of western countries, because they're all behind the protests, and strengthen the already-existing splintered "Heretic-islamic" sects, like the Ahmadiyya or the small group of Female imamates in France.

Type "Iran prayer Eid Fitr Namaz" on youtube and watch an Imam Hussein Mosque naturally filling itself with 40,000 attendees. The numbers are common in any muslim congregration (not just Shia, but also Sunni).
So, at any given time, at least 40,000 prayed for the safe return of women-hating Raisi and his goons. That also includes my mother, a sunni, who's also praying and crying over Raisi.

zionists claim their project is purely secular
Is that even true? Do they directly claim that they're secular, or is that largely a muslim misunderstanding? I don't put much faith in muslim clerics, as this line is usually spoken by them as a typical cudgel against secular ideas. Yes, they'll use every thing, even zionists, against them. It's part of the usualy muslim scholarship to shoehorn secular philosophy without really understanding any of it. You should read some perspectives on ecocide, the ulamas deliberately use NYTimes articles in their introductions, and they largely wrote 500 pages of treatise on them. There's a reason muslims generally respond to things, but not create them.
if you asked the "average westerner" what they think of "the palestinians" any time between 1948 and october 6th 202390% would say they are teh evilznobody thinks they're "pure"
They are teh evilz lol. Under classical scholarship, israelis are classified as harbi, and all and every muslim is required to wage war against israelis. In war, israeli women and children are exempted until of course one israeli decides to hurl an insult against islam publicly. If she doesn't apologize, she's branded as a kafir harbi thug even if she's a mother. No "Liberal" muslim scholar will ever turn public opinion against the unanimously monolith entity of ulamas. The ulamas will herd large quantity of muslims, and in turn, they'll take and believe in these cruel ideas until hell freezes over.
but for some weird reason the international community believes it's a war crime to cut power and water and block humanitarian aid to civilians
The international community is concerned with apolitical transference of humanitarian resources, so those don't necessarily count when we're discussing the real true beliefs of either the jews or muslims. Sure, perhaps you could prosecute a few of those IDF-Netanyahu loyalists, but I do not want to hear generalizations like the international community. Secular movements within palestine have always existed, and they're either hunted down by crazy muslims or accidentally killed by a far right losers in Netanyahu's payroll.

No one is asking to turn a blind eye to atrocities, but legacy tenants aren't as pure as the average westerner generally thinks. When did you turn to islam? Your catchy slogan is only reserved for the kafir harbi in which every muslim is obligated to wage war against. Not a single scholar believes in the innocence of israeli citizens, and when you mix two fanatical theocracy together, you are bound to have a war where leaders care little about civilian casualties.

The Middle East has never seen peace, not for a long time. It has usually lapsed into war or into full-blown ethnostate. A good example of this is the ruling family of sharifs dominating mid-east markets for centuries. I’d say your story emits the rampant cruelty that happens within those “legacy tenants”. There's a good chance those legacy tenants are typically vehemently opposed to different lifestyles simply because they infringe upon their religious belief, which is often rooted in fanaticism and dogmatism.
