You don't understand anything at all, let alone scripture.

“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
- John 13:34-35 (NRSV)
Imran, most people raised into a certain faith will be close-minded and never explore it. It's only converts who are interested.
Like I said, she was raised Christian and you're shocked she's close-minded?

Whereas you were raised--Muslim?--and are only close-minded regarding things not found in the immediate vicinity of Philadelphia.

I was never raised Muslim. Religion did not exist in my household.

Wasn't sure. Anyway, you came out much better; you only fear and hate things you have no direct personal experience with, like women, or alcohol.

Mean, but so true.

One of my best friends was raised Christian and even became a Lutheran pastor (though he is not anymore, but is still strongly Lutheran). He's so open-minded, we sometimes fear his brain is going to fall out.

I agree that it's not only converts who are open minded. Sometimes you start out on the right path, and sometimes you don't.

Same difference.I thought he was Pakistani.
With such viral bias, you're opinion is thus rendered useless. -Shrapnel12, on my "bias" against the SS.
I've never understood how God could expect his creatures to pick the one true religion by faith — it strikes me as a sloppy way to run a universe.
Or places outside of ****ing Philadelphia.

Covered that in post 155, but yes, he does have a certain animosity for distant lands and their puny, inferior toilets.

Which makes you a bad advertisement for atheism...I was never raised Muslim. Religion did not exist in my household.
Btw, got a used Galaxy Nexus from Cowboom for $340 and I absolutely love it! The long Thunderbolt nightmare is over!

Since you are on a budget, just skip the "blow"
That's not the real world. Your job has little to do with the sort of thing most people do for a living. - Agathon
If social security were private, it would be prosecuted as a Ponzi scheme.
Imran wimped out (as well knew he would) and spent his money on something boring.
"I have never killed a man, but I have read many obituaries with great pleasure." - Clarence Darrow

That's a good point. I think when people are on the right path and don't know it, and yet stay on the same path, we tend to call them closed minded. Same with those on the wrong path and know it. That's confusing. I guess what I am thinking is that you certainly need to be "reborn" into your beleif, whether it has always been there or not, if you want to be open minded, and in the case of Christianity, a true Christian. (I'm using too many commas). Anyway, we should all walk in our faith, knowing that it will be challenged and that we will be changed because of those challenges. Open Mindedness is not about knowing where you are but accepting that you don't know where you are going.
Well put

Hookers and blow would be an evening/weekend/week that you would remember (kind of) forever. Instead you got some tech that will be obsolete before I finish typing.
Bad call.

I'm such a nice guy I would have joined you for the party.

There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
Actually from some old friends who like to share.

get a mail-order bride Imran - $3000 would go a long way in the home country
Any views I may express here are personal and certainly do not in any way reflect the views of my employer. Tis the rising of the moon..
Look, I just don't anymore, okay?
My greatest wish is to be half the poster MikeH is.
I thought Imran was from New Jersey... where a bride shouldn't cost that much.
There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.
I hope you can take solace in the fact that you got to **** the life out of some chick much younger than you
Leave with those good memories, and learn your lessons for the next one in line
Safer worlds through superior firepower
Imran, I know you probably aren't one to kiss and tell but...
A2M?
