        …"Jordan Peterson calling on line 1"

        • Damn, how could i forget him of all people. Lets be thankful he CANT vote for OneNation though. The racist bigoted part just helps him sell books.

      • you would be surprised.

      • How is it racist to call out an anti gay ideology?

    • Most people don't outcast their children if they are apostates

        How do gays go? Do they gate kicked out of the family/shunned by society?

          Like they used to in the western world: marry the opposite sex and pretend everything is fine

        • @King Tightarse

          Homosexual sex is a sin. Just like eating pork, or premarital sex, or being rude to your parents, or watching porn..

          Having homosexual tendencies and not acting upon it is not a sin. In fact that is something that is rewarded. Just like keeping away from any sinful act.

          Saying that, the smart thing to do is to keep engaging with them with that understanding. It is probably kept on the down low because its quite a shameful act (and there's a close correlation to the destruction of the people of the Prophet Lot).

          It's the same thing as finding out your kids does drugs. You can shun them, or you support and explain.

          • @butter: "Homosexual sex is a sin"
            Thats a pretty big call to make. I think you can say something like "within my religion, we believe yaya yada" but to make a blanket statement is to invite all kinds of disagreements these days.
            Is it really a sin?
            I don't think so, but then again I don't believe in a paternalist God or the concept of 'sin' either

            • @King Tightarse: @King Tightarse

              Oh yes, obviously, I should've made that clearer. but I thought it was clear when I mentioned pork etc. Sorry about that.

              I'll edit my post.

              edit: cant edit due to your reply.

                @butter: Oh right, never mind, I understand. Yes context is everything.

            • @King Tightarse: I don't think that there is a single religion in this world which doesn't consider homosexuality as a Sin (especially Abrahamic Religions) or Promotes it, so his statement in general is also valid.

              Regarding the fact that you don't believe in "sin", means that you also don't believe in Justice System ?

              • @ChipsChicky: Haha of course I believe in the justice system. So called 'sin' and crime are different

                • @King Tightarse: So going on drugs is a sin or a crime ?

                  • @ChipsChicky: If they are illegal in your area then obviously it's a crime. It can also be a moral issue, or someone reacting to terrible personal damage but not a 'sin'.
                    A quick Google suggest that 'sin' in defined as:
                    'an immoral act considered to be a transgression against divine law'

                    Which relies on the concept of 'divine law' being real. That is a personal choice.
                    For me, I reject this concept

                    • @King Tightarse: I am still trying to get the difference between Sin and Crime, can you quote some examples whr an act is a Crime and not a Sin and vice versa ?

                      Doing drugs is also a personal choice, thn how can it become a Crime or Sin ?

                      • @ChipsChicky: My meaning was not the personal choice of doing drugs but believing or not believing that 'divine law' is a real thing. I do not. In the same way that I do not believe that giants made the mountains or that a paternal God cares for individuals. To me, these are silly superstitions although some believe them. Personal choice.
                        Maybe tonight I can speak more - sorry I am busy now but I always enjoy a good conversation

          • @butter: Or you can have a set of beliefs informed by the 21st century and rationale based in science. Its a free country though.
            But i know which approach actually shows you love your kids, and which one shows you love an ideology more.

            • @Shak2093: @Shak2093

              See it from my point of view.

              My set of beliefs are defined by a higher power, its got nothing to do with me. I do as I'm told and don't have a say in it.

              Science is the key reason why I am Muslim.

              Islam encourages (and in some cases pioneered) learning and science. Ultimately God created everything and knows the science better than anyone.

              The Quran talks about embryology, the big bang, the big expansion, geology, zoology, sub atomic particles and many other topics… All of this from more than 1400 years ago by an unlettered prophet. (eg. https://rationalreligion.co.uk/9-scientific-miracles-of-the-…)

              If you fine one Scientific discrepancy in the Quran I will leave my religion. In fact, find one contradiction in the Quran and I'll leave.

              On the other hand, your suggestion is to follow set of beliefs are defined by the social constructs. Looking around, I can tell you I am glad I'm not following that.

              • -3

                @butter: I used to see things exactly that way. Born and raised Muslim. Prayed 5 times a day, Quran Hafiz, done Umrah all by choice and with a very supportive family. The Quran talks about a lot of things both scientific-ish and otherwise. I could find you several outright lies, let alone contradictions in the Quran, along with the Hadith and the logic of the Ulamah today. Im probably more well educated in Islam than anything else, and that is precisely the reason i chose to leave the religion. I know that makes me an Apostate blah blah. I couldnt care less.

                Once you stop living your life beholden to cultural/religious/familial shackles (social constructs as you say) and solely for yourself then you'll get it. If Islam brings you peace and satisfies your curiosity about the universe and our place in it then great, more power to you. However, if you'd rather live a life based on facts and evidence you yourself can reproduce then im happy to show you some resources besides a few books written 1400 years ago. Science has moved on from the days when most people couldn't even read or write, let alone perform science on their own.

            @butter: It does always make me uncomfortable when there's comparisons of being gay to things like going drugs. I don't think they should ever be linked as the same 'negative'.

      • yes, this is something that happens across all religions. I know a number of ex christians that have been outcast after their conversion to Islam. It is not religion specific.

        • +2

          Yes, you are correct. The recent transgender school shooter in the USA was thought to be in conflict because their parents (who are religious Christians) could not accept them being transgender

      • Most people don't outcast their children if they are apostates

        But a number of Christian churches DO insist parents & members outcast their children if they are apostates (turn their backs on their religion)!

        It's a very effective (& often cruel) control method. I've supported workers counselling ex-members of well known small Christian churches.


        A Religion can be considered like a business. It needs new members / customers to grow, to bring in an income. And importantly, needs to keep the existing members loyal.

        The rules & behaviours can be viewed from a purely Transactional perspective.


        To gain new members, some Religions wish to actively convert new members - like the Mormons & Jehovah's Witnesses.

        (With my curiosity & Uni training in Social Psychology, I talked with Mormon Elders in Tokyo. They couldn't understand why the Japanese didn't come to their services. They lacked cross-cultural knowledge that could have prepared them better! Returning home I saw "The Book of Mormon"!)

        Religions may offer free social events, meals, etc, with the aim of converting new members. Often attracting vulnerable people ripe for conversion. "We're only interested in helping You!" It always makes me cringe!

        Some religions & counties are opposed to prothetising - process of converting or attempting to convert someone to a religion or other belief system.

        No one wants to lose members to rival Religions. In deeply religious countries it can cause riots!


        To maintain existing numbers…
        Religions have rules to persuade or stop people from leaving. In some cases by ostracism, or simply missing out on the social life offered.
        Common in many groups, especially apparent in Political Parties!

        Or marry off existing members to each other (a major dating service, especially in the past), & insist they remain married for life.

        And bring up the children firmly in the Religion!
        As Aristotle said, “Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.”


        Homosexuality can be seen to threaten that…
        In the past, homosexuals were,seen available to have children. So no new members!
        Their activities were often secret as they were at odds with the heteronormal social activities of the Religion.
        So was controlled - as a "sin". (The ultimate form of ostracism, except death.)
        That became Canon Law in the West, and part of our legal system here.

  • Interestingly, i googled "malaysian public holidays" and noticed diwali, christmas, Chinese new year are all public holidays there. However when i googled "australian public holidays", i cant see any religious holidays for any minority groups. Yet reading this thread, the suggestion is that australia is somehow more accepting of other religions then muslim countries like malaysia.

    • -1

      Muslim majority countries in general are totally opressive towards other religions. There are lots of examples of this.

      Saudi Arabia, Iran, many other places in middle East, Pakistan , Afghanistan and Bangladesh , lots of others on north Africa and many more.

      So stop suggesting that Muslim majority Malaysia is somehow the poster child of tolerance and acceptance. The population ratios are different.

      Australia is definitely much more accepting of other religions, especially when compared to any country with a Muslim majority.

  • Can I carry this into and decorate the local Kingdom Hall?
