  • "Civilization of Islam is the civilization of law"? Unfortunately, the contributor forgot to mention that Judaism's highly sophisticated legal framework had been in place for almost 2,000 years by the time that Muhammed and his followers undertook the Hijra to Yathrib (Medina) (622 CE), the traditional start date of Islam.

  • 15:20, Ethics and morality comes from empathy, empathy comes from imagination. The problem with religion is that it tries to define what is moral and what isn't. It tries to fix it. But morality is subjective, not objective. And if we don't have evidence that a man talked to an invisible sky daddy for 11 years in a cave, then flew off on a unicorn, then what's the point of them talking on along these lines? I can't believe these guys studied for so long, and have degrees.
