@iiKitty03 you don't live in Japan. You do not study their culture. How can you judge them when you don't even know the first thing about them?

you are young and naive. One can not simply "get a better job that make them happy".

Just saying. This really isn't the place to have theological debates either. If you all want to go off and have that in a private conversation, go for it. Just.. not here. :|

Everything has to be in equilibrium otherwise we would not be here having this discussion now in the first place. That's why our planet exists, everything counter balances. Again, a believer always resorts to 'prove this, prove that' without even thinking of the rationality or logic behind their own views. Also why does anything have to exist with a purpose? Another selfish view of a believer. We, as well as every creature are here because we survived through natural selection and evolution.

@keepitauthenticppl Can you prove it is by chance? Even if the universe exist by chance who are what created this chance. Why would this chance just so happen to exist without a purpose? .

[keepitauthenticppl]

@jihadifanclub The universe is in complete equilibrium by chance. Our universe is infinitely large, how many other planets have got it slightly wrong and thus are not able to hold life. The only reason you think it can't be a coincidence is because of the very fact we are here in the first place, it's like we've won the lottery. It is chance, and nothing more.

@jihadifanclub I will admit that I know very little about islam and hence may appear very ignorant in this comment but this is how I, and society views your religion. It is a very God-fearing religion and that can be very dangerous to society, as we have seen. The problem is with a religion so fixed upon God is that any opposition view is taken personally and as a huge insult. War and conflict is a result. I don''t even need to list the conflicts associated with islam because we are all aware.

@keepitauthenticppl I know God exist because the universe works perfectly like clockwork. The planets orbit perfectly. The sun gives us light and energy but also there is just enough night so we can rest for the next day. Trees produce oxygen, they give us food, medicine, wood for fire and lumber to build shelters. The water takes away our thirst, keeps us clean, and a means to travel. I doubt this happened for no reason with no purpose, and it’s just an empty coincident.

@keepitauthenticppl Leaving a message on a video is "in your face"? How is it nosense to say that my way of life can help the Japanese by turing them away from many of the harmful aspects of their society? Maybe SOME faiths exist from the fear of the unknown HOWEVER Islam encourages its followers to question and seek the truth. Muhammad (pbuh) said the world is full of problems SO YOU MAY FIND SOLUTIONS TO THEM.

Can anyone please tell me the name of the flute tune that plays in the beginning?

[keepitauthenticppl]

@jihadifanclub You know why? It's because people like you who are so in your face about religion trying to preach your nonsense everywhere. Keep yourself to yourself. The concept of religion came about due to the fear of the unkown e.g Aztec sacrifice because they believed in a sun god which brought rain and sun for their crops. People back then didnt know any better. I don't need religion to tell me what morality is. I know what is right and wrong. Prove there is a God.

[jihadifanclub]

@keepitauthenticppl 1. Why are you so full of disrespect and hostility? 2.You mentioned stocism and loss of a job as reason for suicide. Islam teaches against this. Ones self worth is more than just a job because that is NOT the purpose of life. Also Islam values emotion and sympathy unlike stocism. Islam has teachings that teach against these harmful cultural values. 3. Prove there is no God.

@jihadifanclub Biggest load of bullshit i have ever read. The suicide problem exists due to the social logistics of the country. Japan is a very stoic nation driven by its strict culture. There is a lot of pressure and stress placed on the youth of Japan. Losing your job is considered to be extremely shameful and many commit suicide over the matter. The culture of Japan contributes to high suicide rates. Enough of your fairy believing bullshit. God doesn't exist.
