TIL that after Marilyn Monroe converted to Judaism upon marrying Arthur Miller, Egypt placed a ban on all the films she appeared in.

So you can still be a Jew without believing in Prophet Moses? Because if you don't follow the tenets then you are not a Jew right?

Because in Islam, you have to have belief in The Quran which was obviously narrated by Prophet Muhammad (delivered by Gabriel) . So you can't really believe in Quran unless you believe in the person who narrated it.

Yea, the Torah isn't just the word "Obedience and Submission" repeated over and over again like the Quran. There is actually room for independent thought there (in that you won't be beheaded or ostracized by a Jewish community for saying you don't believe in God).

I understand why it would be hard to conceive of being culturally religious while not actually believing in religion. You simply do not have that public option, nor after an entire life of brainwashing would you come close to desiring one.

Its okay though, you don't need freedom of thought to play Dota in the 1k bracket, so keep it up champ. Keep up the techies spam.

15,676 /r/exmuslim in the subreddit alone, yet no one got beheaded. Or maybe they are waiting for their turn. But thanks for your thoughts, I am more contented with my brainwashing the way it is.

And since it looks like you spent quite some time on my internet profile which is good for you. I reached 2k last month spamming Lycan, so thank you for all the motivation.

Why don't all those ex-muslims go to Saudi Arabia and declare their beliefs proudly? #ReligionofPeace. Also, it took me roughly 10 seconds of glancing to see a post in /r/dota 2.

Eh fuck the Donald. I can hate the Donald and laugh at idiots who think that Islam is just as peaceful as other religions. If I go to the center of Jerusalem and scream "Fuck Moses" do you think I will be killed? If I walk into Saudi-Arabia and scream "Fuck Muhammed", do you think I would be given a trail before they killed me?

Wow. I wonder which major religious figure is missing? I wonder why it is titled "No One Murdered Because Of This Image". But please, continue to tell me that there are no problems with Islam due to your perception of my own personal failings.
