My Journey From Moderate Muslim to Seeker of Love [View all] guillaumeb Apr 2018 OP

So are people allowed to define religion for others, or not? trotsky Apr 2018 #1

One person's journey. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #2

No they are not your words. trotsky Apr 2018 #3

It is not inconsistency, guillaumeb Apr 2018 #4

Here's an experiment for you: trotsky Apr 2018 #5

You are consistent. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #6

Oh, is that your friend? trotsky Apr 2018 #7

As I said, your behavior and tactics are consistent. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #8

The way I respond to you is indeed consistent. trotsky Apr 2018 #12

The way you respond to all theists, guillaumeb Apr 2018 #13

I will not answer your straw man claims. trotsky Apr 2018 #14

Revealing. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #15

"The way you respond to all theists," Major Nikon Apr 2018 #16

A simple reading of the responses is sufficient. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #17

You are just digging yourself into a deeper hole Major Nikon Apr 2018 #18

Do you need another shovel? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #19

You are doing a fine job all on your own Major Nikon Apr 2018 #20

Right. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #21

It gets better Major Nikon Apr 2018 #22

Derivative of you. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #24

It's a fool's errand to disprove something you never attempted to prove to begin with Major Nikon Apr 2018 #32

Islam is most often described (elsewhere) as a most beautiful and fulfilling experience. yallerdawg Apr 2018 #9

That, to me, is the faith experience. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #10

"Faith is a gift." yallerdawg Apr 2018 #11

I wouldn't call that faith marylandblue Apr 2018 #23

Faith is the result of many things. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #25

If you define faith as everything, then it means nothing marylandblue Apr 2018 #26

If I did that, I would agree with you. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #27

You come very close to it marylandblue Apr 2018 #28

Do you believe that universal love exists? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #29

I believe people have experiences they sometimes describe as universal love marylandblue Apr 2018 #30

What do you define as in the group of "mystical experiences"? guillaumeb Apr 2018 #31

Abraham Maslow called them "peak experiences" marylandblue Apr 2018 #33

There is evidence that people have these types of experiences. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #34

Could be a lot of things marylandblue Apr 2018 #35

Agreed, but I feel that the description is an integral part of the experience. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #36

It could be, if someone wishes it to be so marylandblue Apr 2018 #37

I understand that your experiences are unique to you. guillaumeb Apr 2018 #38
