--- Quote ---see infinite thats the problem.. u kinda said in ur post that its better to killsumone in the name of god than kill sumone in cold blood.. to me it sounded like ur saying that if ur gonna killsomeone it aint as bad if its religeous, politial reasons.. its still murder and thats what i dont understand.. it seems to me people say its not as bad that a muslim kills a jew/christian/anyone and its not as bad as me killing a muslim for no religeous reasons ya feel? i feel religion leads to dead ends,, in that it dont make sense to me..
holla

Thanks to Bad Ass and Jamal.... yeah, basically I was stating that Maxi, your an atheist correct, and you say religion is a dead end, but look at your life, it seems from what you've said that it has been a dead end, as was mine as an atheist. So you are not escaping anything by being an atheist. That was the main point that I was making. People say that religion causes people to kill because of religion. But I say, look at all the non-religious atheist cats that kill eachother everyday, because they looked at you wrong.

This is the text response report im writing to get back into school and try to finish my education...
TOPIC SENTENCE:Although Elii focusses on the loss, the 'total irreconsilable loss' should we see her story as a victory?
i wrote an introduction to this essay back ground on teh book and the war.. Elli is an auto biography on a 14 year old jewish girl surviving in the holocaust in around poland, aushwitz and hungary... i brain stormed ideas on victories and losses and i came up with 3 paragraphs.. the victories... her personal losses... and the social and word-wide losses..
this is my conclusion
Elli's personal story is one of survival which in itself is a victory. But the losses are what stood out in such a brave story. The victories were that people who kept religious faith with the will to survive but the deaths of over 6 millions people shouldn't have to occur for these human qualities to come out. Thus the loss was overwhelming.
see that.. it was a victory that she kept her religious faith the whole time... but 6 millions peoples died? ya feel me? like we shouldnt need a holocaust or violence to bring out these human qualities and religeous beleifs.. i should find faith caus i have a personal crises.. i shouldnt beleive, or have faith just to help my situation.. i should be able to have faith when my mind is str8.. thats why i needa find myself first and understand why religion is neccesary..
peace

--- Quote ---infinite.......as-salaamwualaykum....i have been wondering about something.....reading several of your posts it appears to me that you converted to Islam.....what I wanted to know is what was the main reason that caused you to take this change? is there anything in particular you saw in Islam that you didn't see in other religions? i know Islam is a great faith but I don't get to look at it the way non-Muslims do because I was born a muslim....you probably understand what I'm trying to say.....personally I could never see myself , nor could I imagine someone else just simply give up on the faith they were grown up with and become the follower of another religion.....but i do know that Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world......and I jus wanted to know what causes people to take this change?....what is so great about Islam that made you convert?

Walakumsalaam brother... thanks for the interest in my testimony.
I was raised Christian, like all the other people I live around. Loosely Christian. I began to see all the hypocrisy involved in the churches I went to. And I also began to feel disatisfied with my life as a whole. I became an angry atheist. But then I worked nightstock with a Muslim from Africa named Bubbacarr. And a Rastafarian cat. And they had me seeing life in a totally different way. I started to understand spirituality and understand that they're were alternatives to the life I was raised in.
But I wasn't ready to submit, until eventually I had a breakdown. My shortcoming as an atheist was I worshipped a woman instead of God. Some people worship money, cars, etc., I worshipped a woman. She was an x-girlfriend of mine and I had spent years trying to win her back. Till finally I realized I was never going to get her back, and I was devastated. I was failing in school, relationships, my jobs. I was living on my own. I was in desperate need of knowledge and discipline to save my ass. So I called up Bubbacarr and told him that I needed to make a serious change with my life. And that I wanted to become a Muslim. From there, I went to the mosque and I've been a Muslim for over a year.
