Phobia of Phrobia?

published by RI_RS on 17 June, 2010 - 16:58

Idea from the topic on the Euthyphro dilemma.

Do you think it's okay to ask critical questions about God?

Does not acting them show More faith because you just trust in God or less faith because not acknowledging those questions make it look like you lack conviction and answers?

E.g God and Good,
If God is omnip, and omnib, why is there evil
etc.

"An eye for an eye

Makes the whole world blind"

And "two wrongs don't make a right"

As i understand it though, I think the Shariah 'says' that if someone murders a loved one you're entitled to get revenge?

I'm not sure. But i've also read that any Shariah punishments including 'Hadd' penalties i think they're called, are cancelled out by repentance. Is this true?

Discuss (politely) in terms of Islam.

Moral relativism

= Haraam?

This is the beginning of the argument that went on in my head: (summarised points)

>Because we believe the Qur'an and it's content are absolute?

We are also able to decide if we believe in God or not, and we *must*do this

>We're meant to be tolerant of others though

We should follow the law of the country, this in itself is a different set of morals

< We should feel as though we 'have' to abide by these laws though, not that we want to. We should have complete faith in the shariah

And it went on like that,

Thoughts?
