Conflicting Comments

Hi all,

I think I should just create a new blog based on my views on religion, because I seem to be discussing religion more so than Computer Science.

I love YouTube. More specifically, the video comments. It brings out the worst and best in people. No face-to-face confrontation, just you and the computer screen, typing away your thoughts. It's interesting to see what people are actually thinking, because in reality, they wouldn't dare say what they have typed, to a person's face. Of course, the majority of comments are just trollers, and lets face it, everyone likes to have a laugh. When the video topic is more serious, such as those on politics or religion, people tend to be a bit more serious in their comments, often accompanied by long-winded arguments lasting for weeks with a person of conflicting opinions.

I was going through various videos related to religion, when I noticed the comment

"How the fuck you do believe in such bullshit that there is no God? Are you fucking stupid? Islam is the truth, hard to believe but thats cos your ignorant" 
(They obviously need to go and read up on swearing in the Qur'an, because apparently Allah doesn't like swearing or insulting. Then again, he may be interpreting it in a different way *gasp* oh but he can't do that because otherwise he wouldn't be following the exact words of Allah, or wait no he will because its - blah blah blah ad infinitum)


Well there's an interesting comment if I ever saw one. If you want the full debate, head on over to the comments section on this site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8NRX5osjhg

Sorry mate, but it's kinda hard to accept Islam as the truth when there's no proof. If you're calling me ignorant, then in that case you're implying that you're ignorant to other religions, let alone the fact that there is no God. So just because I don't believe in Islam, that means that I'm stupid? So you're calling the billions of other people in the world stupid? Sure, go ahead, make yourself an enemy of the world. At least I'm learning about all kinds of religion, rather than accept one and take that as fact. Strength in your belief does not include the fact that many others share your beliefs. Believe in yourself (literally) and don't follow others, for the sake of your sanity. Understand who you are and where you come from, don't just give in and accept some rubbish that comes streaming out of a book that happens to be ancient. Just because something is old doesn't mean it is wise. But hey, that's my opinion.

Until next time.
