"Let there be no compulsion in religion; truth stands out clear from error" (Sura 2.256). Really? Does the Quran consistently hold this. 1. What you would find is verse is abrogated (or as I call it superceded) by 9:73, 9:123, 48:16 2. There are many opinions on what the revelation actually is...

Yeah I understand, but don't see what ends you are trying to say. I am making the claim that early Islam that there was a political motive interwined with the religious, even with Mohammed. That is disputed may I add.

HSC exams for some subjects are generally easier than trials though. But not always... depends on the school.

It is interesting the wikipedia section, which is disputed says... "Muslims view that the Muslims fought only when attacked, or in the context of a wider war of self-defense. They argue that Muhammad was the first among the major military figures of history [citation needed] to lay down rules...

I get the suggestion that is underlying... My point was not on religious factions, even though they are concerning; which every religion/non-religion even Islam has. (Yes God will bring to account the false teachers) Mohammed was more than just the religious leader was my point... and so the...

It doesn't help that within Islam, the major division between the two factions (Sunni & Shia) was related who would succeed Mohammed, politically.

Yeah I don't disagree entirely. But only 7% (4% Islam, 3% other) are the causes of wars. Atheism itself, especially if you take Darwin himself said what he believed is an equally dangerous tool: The full title of Darwin's book in 1859 was On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection...

yes

yeah, unless you have one leg in each side :smile:

I thought you would be on the other side of the fence. Maybe you are fence sitting?? Or maybe not :smile:

Yeah I don't disagree with some of "Darwinism", even as one religious; Darwin himself though I disagree with. Anthropology is highly relevant considering that marriage would fall under some classifications, but really enough has been said so yeah...

I love a bit of popcorn as well :smile: the "right" side of the fence depends on which end of the fence you are looking at it from.

Thirdly, a discussion of tolerance and secular might be needed here. While you Rouz are very tolerant (even in the way I am about to explain it); most who are of your opinion aren't (and some from my side of the fence too). Most presume that tolerance means we are allowed to have different...

Maybe the case for the civil celebrant. But it is still on the grounds of conscience. Welcome to capitalism. But the right to refuse service is (well at least in the US) on the grounds of conscience is something that should happen because we are still a capitalist and mostly free-economy...

I (might have) posted it a couple of pages ago. I'll see if I can link it for you. But generally speaking: It is in the very definition of marriage that is defined as specifically as a man and woman, that I think highlights and celebrates both the equality and the difference between man and...

Neither will same sex marriage be entirely equality. #bringouttheslipperyslide. Nah, I don't think marriage calls for equality..

1. I am sorry but making the comparison between LGBTIQZABC... and Indigenous people is hardly appropriate. I get they are both arguing for recognition. I am sure some of the latter would not appreciate the connection drawn... 2. Christians can hardly make up a cultural monopoly IF you're...

Well for the pH you could use a pool testing kit :) and compare the colours with a standard for instance water... or orange juice at 25oC.

Just use whatever you've got from class. I don't tend to make any others really. Yeah you're best bet is a good textbook with some past papers...
