Historically extending the interpretation of a religion still makes you a member of it so long as you arent contradicting the interpretation.
Non-denominational Christianity for example must include the core bible as a minimal canon, and ones interpretation of it must be that Jesus is the son of god.
Any other additional interpretations that are not at odds with the above minimums are still Christianity, they just become a specific form of it.|
Likewise the catholic denomination has its own internal divisions with different extended interpretations attached, each variation is still part of Catholicism.
So there is a lot of room for personal interpretation while still being considered part of the parent religion.
As for interpretations being right or wrong, it is an opinion which ones are right and which ones are wrong in the first place... so thats a rather moot point.
@Hyolobrika@berserker.town
Since advocating for murder is illegal it is forbidden here already without even needing to consider the moral aspect.
@matrix Yes this is true.. ultimately if you change either the canon or the interpritation it is considered a different religion.
It depends on how it is shared.. if it is shared as "The Quran says XXX and some people who follow the Quran interprit it as YYY"... That is just sharing a statement of fact, and in and of itself is fine.
Now if he promotes YYY as something others should follow, and YYY is hate speech, then no, promoting hate speech isnt allowed regardless of if its religious.
We have been working on coding up the tools for UFoI, we will be rolling them out shortly as we have the first of such tools completed.
Yes that is a feature we intend to add in the next release. Hopefully we will have that in the near future.
Side note, anyone who knows ruby and wants to help I am paying for help to get updated out quicker. So paid assistance is always welcome if anyone knows anyone it would help speed up the timeline.
@Corfiot @matrix @freemo @hasmis
Nice conversation, I have learned a few things about religion.
I believe @freemo was quite precise and informative and that your reaction is excessive.
Anyways, you should always try to get the best out of a discussion, even when you're discussing with an idiot. You should choose a subject of discussion which is interesting to both and conduct the discussion in a way that is appreciated by both.
If you don't like the discussion, you failed to make it interesting. I'm not saying the other person has no responsibility, but all you can control are your actions. It's generally possible to get a good conversation even with a troll.
Your the only troll in the room. I have been respecful and consjderate with how i interacted with you the whole time. You have thrown a little tantrum and acted like a 9 year old cause someone had a different opinion than you. Trust me its not just me you are looking like an asshat to, its everyone seeing you post right now.
@farooqkz >"I don't like to discuss this further...."
Black resigns.
For the rest of you, here's how it plays out...
If farooqkz says that the guys in my toot above are not Muslim, then Islamic law does not apply to them, so what's the problem?
If farooqkz says that they are Muslim, then people can be Muslim and still believe that gay sex is fine, in which case the issue is a choice and farooqkz is saying that his position is his choice -- he is choosing to be homophobic.
@kyle The morse code keyboard is a cool idea
I am not convinced it is anymore efficient... I suspect the sort of people controlled by religion to doing something evil are the sort of people who are seeking out, actively, things that control them. They feel lost without it. Such people will insist on being controlled.
Religion can be used to control sure.. but without religion those same people are able to be controlled, and will be, by the same evil people. They just wont use religion to do it but another means.
@farooqkz My personal interpritation is this:
A person named muhamed was wise and had understoof some truths about god (the meaning of messenger). A bunchg of people who hung out around Muhamed had very similar ideas and insights about god. Those people put more effort into helping eachother out than they did people that werent part of their group. This group prayed so much that they had marks on their face (likely from putting their face on the ground when praying)
