I appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. We may see the world differently, but I think there’s always value in exploring different perspectives with an open mind and mutual respect.
Science helps us understand reality through physics, biochemistry, and measurable data, but human experience often goes beyond what a lab test can prove. The concept of the evil eye isn’t just an Islamic belief, it exists in many cultures and religions across the world. Even in psychology, ideas like the placebo and nocebo effects show how belief alone can impact real-world outcomes. Concepts like the law of attraction and the power of the subconscious mind touch on similar themes, showing that what we think and believe can influence our lives in ways science is still trying to fully understand.
If you're interested in a scientific approach, I’d recommend looking into the placebo and nocebo effects, law of attraction, and the power of the subconscious mind. These ideas, studied beyond religion, show how perception and belief can shape reality in fascinating ways.
I don’t expect everyone to agree, and I respect skepticism, but dismissing an idea as ‘nonsense’ without considering its historical, cultural, and even psychological significance might mean overlooking an important part of human experience. Just like you take pride in your heritage and worldview, I believe in respecting different approaches to understanding life’s mysteries.
Interestingly, the evil eye is even debated among Muslims. Some scholars think it's a misunderstood concept, often taken to extremes, while others argue that people simply don’t grasp how it actually works. These discussions, like many others, remind us that even within a belief system, interpretations can vary.
At the end of the day, truth often lies somewhere between belief, experience, and scientific inquiry. Wishing you all the best on your journey of exploration and discovery!
Do you want Hive to be a platform where Muslims can share their thoughts openly and engage in respectful discussions, or do you want it to be seen as an Islamophobic space where they feel unwelcome?
It starts with one religious concept, today it’s an Islamic belief, tomorrow it could be Hindu deities, Christian views on Jesus, or debates about vegetarianism and veganism. If we go down this rabbit hole of silencing discussions just because people disagree, it only leads to division. And in the end, that kind of environment doesn’t encourage engagement,it turns Hive into a ghost town where no one feels welcome to share their thoughts.
Should we shadow-ban people who support a cause? And then also shadow-ban those who don’t? Just because two people think differently? That’s not the spirit of freedom and diversity.
Hive is meant to be a space where people from all backgrounds can share their perspectives. I’m not forcing my beliefs on anyone, I’m simply sharing them, just as others do. Disagreeing is fine. Instead, let’s build a culture of mutual respect and make Hive a welcoming place for people of all faiths and viewpoints.
You are a treasure! God bless you.
I’m left wondering about your point.
First, let’s examine religion.
Religion is a human construct, just like idol worship.
Early humans, lacking understanding of their environment, attributed it to the supernatural, and gradually, religion was formed.
Can you tell me what religion has created for humanity besides war and division?
Has it produced peace?
Is God so insignificant that He needs to write a book and require prayers?
It’s interesting that all religious prayers are about personal desires.
Do you know any religious person who prays for the Amazon rainforest to stay lush and green?
No.
It’s all about individual wants and needs.
"God, give me this, guide me, grant me peace..."
These are the prayers.
Four billion years ago, everything started from a single cell.
How can you deny this?
In my opinion, we don’t have "respectful opinions."
Opinions are either honest and valid or nothing at all.
It’s a game to say that others’ opinions are respected.
What if my opinion is that all humans should die? Is that right?
Humans are nothing but needs and desires. If we remove that, there’s nothing left to talk about.
Creativity, art, and everything else are human needs.
We have a biochemical structure and follow the laws of physics, not magic or the supernatural.
Can you pray endlessly to never be hungry or thirsty? No. Can you say, "I pray that wolves won’t eat me"? No.
If religion had any utility, can you name a few?
Did religion create this smartphone?
Humans should be logical.
We shouldn’t live by emotions, which are the result of evolution and instincts.
Was that illogical?
