    They ask you, [O Muhammad], what they should spend. Say, “Whatever you spend of good is [to be] for parents and relatives and orphans and the needy and the traveler. And whatever you do of good - indeed, Allah is Knowing of it.” 1

    I know right?

      just like christians and the good samaritan - they know it’s part of their core beliefs but… ¯_ (ツ)_/¯ they choose to keep giving money to anyone but the ones who truly need it.

      why is it so hard for believers to actually hew to the values their beliefs are built around? so strange… it’s like, they believe in an all powerful deity but somehow think he won’t notice them ignoring the needy?

      and it’s not all believers. goodness knows. but so many…

        Are you using “Tu Quoque” here? basing on a “Hasty Generalization” I assume ?

        If you’re basing on Saudi Arabia or UAE, please notice that you’re basing on a country that is pro Israel, meaning literally invaded.

          I’m not differentiating between any of the nutbags’ devotion to their invisible friends.

          pro, anti, militant, orthodox, it’s all bullshit and doesn’t need further investigation.

          if people would stop listening to their invisible friends and actually care for one another as neighbors, 99% of the issues driving world conflict would evaporate and leave us to focus on the things that are real threats, like climate, AI, equality etc.

          but no, jamal and isaac and billions of others are too fucking obsessed about what THEIR IMAGINARY FUCKING FRIENDS THINK SO THEY GO 'A MURDERIN.

          they don’t even care what their own holy books said. what their own prophets said. religion can build cathedrals and mosques, gorgeous, but it can’t stop pitting one pile of ants against the others, and as far as I can tell, it’s never going to stop until the species grows the fuck up or destroys itself.

            You know, you’re clearly spreading hate with this comment, there is nothing I can answer, this comment is straight up dogma.

              yes yes, I’m the problem, not the ghouls who blow up children. ON EITHER SIDE.

              boy you must fucking hate that it’s true.

                  you’re just being Islamophobic.

                  buddy, I already told you, I don’t buy anyone’s religion. If anything, I’m deiphobic or theophobic.

                  you are not alone. and having had this convo with other theists, I’m the absolute worst - not only do I not buy their religion, I don’t buy into any religion and somehow that’s even worse! lol

                  I don’t believe in your invisible friend, his invisible enemies, or the rest of the lineup from any season of this series. I’ve opted out.

                  as a human being, I think it’s important to point out how much of our misery can be directly connected to the madness, though. trying to silence me with racist or bigoted aspersions won’t change any of it, it simply reveals your character.

                  good day.

                    I’m not pursuing you to “buy into my religion”. I’m only demanding respect, based on the efforts of those who sincerely contributed to it (theory or lost their lives for freedom of religion). But it seems too much to get from you
