The Be-All End-All Muslim Thread

[Vincent Vega]

There seems to be some confusion as to the stances of the people of Phatmass, so this poll has been made, and it's been placed in the debate table, because there will surely be debate ensuing.

The questions are straightforward, and the votes are public, meaning that once someone has voted in this thread, instead of wondering if he is a Muslim (aloud or to oneself), one will simply need to check who has voted yes or no for each response.

Once we have seen exactly how people feel on these topics, we will be able to discuss them more effectively. Hopefully this will clear things up for members who are unsure of others' stances on Islam and issues pertaining thereto.

You should ask some of the more "controversial" questions.

[Vincent Vega]

I'd love to, but you can only ask three for any given poll.

What could be included that is not covered by these three questions?

[Nihil Obstat]

I always get nervous when I answer such easy questions. I worry that there's something tricky I'm missing.

Is Islam inherently violent, etc.

And it should be "Islam" in the title, not "Muslim."

You're right.

False, yes. Evil, not in my opinion. In need of the redeeming grace only found in Christ and His Church? You bet. The end.

For the sake of my own understanding, then, are Protestants evil?

[Maggyie]

And is Judaism evil?

Rabbinic Judaism would be evil because it is false. Rabbinic Judaism is a rebellious sister religion, not the parent religion of Judaism.

Protestant Theology is evil because it is false, and heresy. Protestants individually can be just as catholic individuals can be evil. But the Protestant 'church' is is a rebellious daughter and evil because it is false.

Protestants are not evil; Protestantism (and Judaism) is, because it deprives people of the opportunity of receiving as much grace as would be afforded to them through the Catholic Church.

Ah, I'm glad I decided to scrap my response. This is much better.

[Lounge Daddy]

Glad you clarified what you meant by "false religion." That term gets tossed about pretty freely (too freely in my opinion). It tends to mean different things to different people -- just like other words, like cult, fascism, etc.


So good thinking there.

So Catholicism = not evil. Everything else = evil.
