It's a pity that you can not bear or respect others' opinions.

Yes I have studied in some believes, and decided to follow the best

It's also a pity that you can somehow degrade other's religion to think that it will somehow make Islam more palatable.

I have no respect for the opinion that women should be treated as less than men. I have no respect for the opinion that rape is morally acceptable. These are two of many opinions I have about the opinions of other persons.

Some people actually hold these beliefs. I do not think that I am pitiful for holding disrespect for these opinions. In fact, I believe myself to be more upstanding for having them.

Some religions actually preach these beliefs. Thus, I have no respect for those religions. There is a quote in the bible that all women must wear veils at all times, another where the right thing for a man to do (in Sodom/Gemorrah) is to offer up his daughters to be raped in place of a guest in his house. Some factions preach this sort of stuff, and I have no respect for them.

I do not think my lack of respect in any way makes me deserving of pity. Repugnant opinions should not be respected.

To me ,God ,the creator , the Truth the Everlasting is an unknown. The unknown is not something to be experienced by the mind; only silence can be experienced, nothing but silence;
Nuts. Electricity used to be unknown yet without it brains would not function (and it follows that minds wouldn't either), yet you say it isn't to be experienced by the mind? lmao More doubletalk.
observe yourself. If the mind experiences anything but silence, it is merely projecting its own desires and such a mind is not silent; so long as the mind is not silent, so long as thought in any form, conscious or unconscious, is in movement, there can be no silence. Silence is freedom from the past, from knowledge, from both conscious and unconscious memory; when the mind is completely silent, not in use, when there is the silence which is not a product of effort, then only can the timeless, the eternal come into being. That state is not a state of remembering – there is no entity that remembers, that experiences.
So on order to be the perfect life, we need to be totally brain dead, mindless, etc. Think I will stick to being imperfect, thoughtful, and thinking, thanks.
God is not a thing of the mind, it does not come through self-projection, it comes only when there is virtue, which is freedom. Virtue is facing the fact of what is and the facing of the fact is a state of bliss. Only when the mind is blissful, quiet, without any movement of its own, without the projection of thought, conscious or unconscious – only then can the eternal come into being.
Gods aren't things of the mind? Funny, all the evidence I have ever seen or heard leads me to conclude that gods are direct results of the mind: imaginary entities just like leprachauns, goblins, the wizard of Oz, and other such things.

It is very regretful to see some people looking logic & learned but suddenly burst into insultation just because they can not bear others' opinions.

But same quran says : Give good news to My adorers, Those who listen to the word, then follow the best of it; those are they whom Allah has guided, and those it is who are the men of understanding. (Zumar verse 17-18)
It's also regretful to see normally rational people expounding so insistently for something so IRrational. lmao
L Gilbert says, "Good news to rational people; those who listen to the word are given sources upon sources of wondefully funny material."

In human history mention is made of a few rare individuals who had the objectivity and the perspective with which to understand the human plight. Many of the words recorded from these prophets echoed again and again in one form or another: "Know thyself" was probably the most common advice offered by all prophets. And yet, this advice has been almost totally ignored, being drowned in one belief system after another .[/quote

Know yourself ...


....and it is still, today , totally ignored and drowned in one believe after another .
Not totally. I am in my 55th year of a course in L Gilbertology. I know quite a few others who are the same sort of explorers.

The pure nature of the all people are the same and pure, and the righteaouness is adopted by all peoples' natures. Theft is hated by all the people, even the thief himself, because when himself becomes a theft victim, he becomes angry.

Quran says : Say: Every one acts according to his manner; but your Lord best knows who is best guided in the path.

Yes I have studied in some believes, and decided to follow the best.
You, a lowly human purports to know what is the best belief (or even that believing in such nonsense is best)? How bloody arrogant some people can be.

Here we go again LG ..."read my lips......my mind doesn,t experience an electricity which is functioning in my brain .Perhaps if I plugged an amp or a voltage meter into my brain ,I would see the indication of this potential energy .

So on order to be the perfect life, we need to be totally brain dead, mindless, etc.
Judging from the above response and the one below LG,you don't have very far to go.
