  • I remember SouthPark doing an episode about that exact viewpoint

    • Then let's talk facts and logic, why is an older person marrying a younger person bad? because you're an educated Atheist/Agnostic (I guess), you must've questioned what you were taught at childhood, unlike those brainwashed and spoon fed Christians.

      "Minimum age of marriage", who came up with concept? it surely isn't common sense since it only appeared less than a century ago, so what is it? Some may say that young marriage is a mere relic of the ancients, a result of their underdeveloped logic and science, and that our advanced logic is better and is infallible.

      But wait, your people, just mere a century ago saw people 2 centuries a ago the exact same way, and so did those before them, so using our logic, we can deduct that our logic is illogical.

      How about statistical data we can speculate, a mere century ago, how did the world look like? there was certainly very little employees, even Christians believed in their book, Javascript did not exist (alhamdulillah), young people were treated as adults, and people older than Israel who to this day live under bombing by your morally superior society were being born; How does something like the depression rate among their youth compare to today? It is reportedly much lower, so how did your generation fail? Surely with all that development of medicine and the like, your people should "logically" be much happier. Are you really strictly superior to the ancients?

      "But statistics back then were biased and limited", I see your point, unlike the "infallible" statistics of today, those statistics were surely awful, so let's move to broader ideas.

      At childhood, you were spoon fed many ideas, like "Slavery is unacceptable", "The old marrying the young is awful", and "Humans evolved from monkeys". By using the fact that our logic is illogical, we can conclude that these aren't concrete facts. How is slavery involved with almost every product in the average American household? how did the ancients grow up to be healthy adults? Again, ask your grandmother. How is there not, to this day, concrete evidence of humans evolving from anything but slightly taller humans?

      How is slavery unacceptable in your eyes, yet you can't live without it? Is the average McDonalds worker treated better that how Islam treats slaves?

      How did the ancients grow up to be healthy individuals? Is insisting that you're much better than the ancients truly your way of avoiding depression?

      Why is anything that goes against the theory of someone named Darwin, of whose book you know nothing, and whose theory's shortcomings you are ignoring, and whose teachings you were fed in school, and whose ways you never questioned, mere ancient fables?

      But there stands, the teachings of Islam, Allah's divine revelation to us, it never failed, for 14 centuries it stood unchanged, yet who reads it could never tell, that this book wasn't written by a scholar of today, how could it so accurately describe today? how did our caliphate, only a mere century from today, stand strong? How didn't we truly fail, until we forgot the words and called it a day?

      I got a little peotic at the end.

      You guys just look at Christians and decide that religion is dumb.

      I thought of finishing with some miracles like the 360 joints, the beating of alcoholics and adulterers, and camel milk+urine, but the article south_park_remark reply got too long.

      I realize these miracles can be individually dismissed, it is not their individual traits that will persuade, it is their collected wight. It is the fact that the prophet, peace be upon him, never claimed anything that is wrong, unlike scientists of a mere decade ago, and that his medicines did nothing but heal, unlike scientists of a mere decade ago.

      This is likely to get downvoted, I say this because mentioning downvotes in your posts/comments usually prevents them from being downvoted (a little psychological thing probably)
