Any dogma that punishes individuals for their honestly-held beliefs cannot claim to be merciful.
lightside, do you consider the folks who call themselves ex-muslims to be apostates? If so, should they be punished for that apostasy?
@lightside
Is it impossible to quit being a Muslim?
Lightside, why must people remain if they have chosen not to? What if they find love outside of their culture? What if they like bacon? What if they simply have no need for this faith?, are minding their own business, and wish to be left alone... do they not deserve that respect?
@Lightside
Infinite mercy eh? Forgive anything eh no matter what you have done huh?
Sweet. I will keep that in mind. If I ever find a time where I feel I need god's mercy etc I know I can get it. Until that time I will happily go on being me, doing what I like to do, and not wasting time praying or reading 1000+ year old writings.
Note: I seriously doubt I will ever find my self in a situation where I felt I needed "god's" mercy or forgiveness, but hey, if I do, no harm no foul I can get it then and go on being a happy as a clam atheist now.

@LogicFTW
Right, infinite mercy if you believe; otherwise it is off with their heads!
@lightside …..
Just a quick question for my own edification ..... is your ethnicity Arab ?
@lightside,
You don't seem to believe that Muslims can leave Islam for any reason.
Instead, I'd like to know why you're still a Muslim, even though you must know your prophet was a pedophile who married a 9-year old girl?
@ CHK-C
Actually married a 6 year old, consummated the marriage when she was 9 years young. He was 52 - 56 years old. Apparently enjoyed 'thighing' ( a practice I cant describe here without throwing up a little in my mouth) and bathing naked with her before the actual act of consummation. We are expected to laud this person for his self control.....Islam lost me at that point.
@ lightside
Whats not true? It is all documented...
(Before reading any other responses)
Re: OP
Ummmmm.... Shouldn't you be saying "Allah" instead of "God"? And what legitimate Muslim uses a Coran??? Even more so, what TRUE Muslim claims to love Christians, Jews, and atheists??? I'm calling TROLL!
(Now to go read other responses...)
@ Tin Man
I think your spidey senses were all at attention sir....and I concur with your perspicacious and erudite assumption. *Bangs gavel, takes off wig and gown and leaves court*
Seems lightside has folded up his tents and silently stolen off into the night...more dramatic than our usual drive-by...someone check the silverware....
And to think I did not even bother replying. The OP was that worthy.

PS — The silverware is fine because I am still polishing it for our next Heathen Party...
@Arakish Re: "PS — The silverware is fine because I am still polishing it for our next Heathen Party..."
Oh, thank goodness!... *wiping forehead with back of hand*... Phew! Was getting worried when I went to check and couldn't find it. Okay. Cool.... *rubbing hands together briskly*.... Alrighty then! The next Heathen Party! Yes!.... *motioning toward corner of room*... Got a whole new barrel of eggnog just waiti-... *doing double-take at corner*... Hey! What the...? Where the hell is my barrel of eggnog?!?... *looking behind couch and door in a panic*... Son of a... Did that little bastard swipe the eggnog?!?
Well that was a quick departure.
outside may be from one of those countries who don't take kindly to folks like us. And perhaps when he realised he was in an atheist site thought it better to withdraw before authorities began sniffing around his avatar...my suspicious side makes me think we could be under surveillance by those keen to nab possible apostates....just a thought
I hear you but c'mon how can you come to a place called the Athiest Republic and not realize this is an Athiest site! Hahaha
@ All
He even took the time and trouble to wipe out each and every post...smacks of teens being caught with their hand in the pornhub....
...(sheepishly shakes feathers) Maybe he just misread the name as A Theist Republic?...flourishes crest, squawks and flaps lazily away.....
