FIRE

Recently had a discussion with Muslim preachers.
I made a statement, that Islam has no chance in a philosophical dispute and in the science of nature.
After this statement I was immediately attacked by classic “ad hominem” and was accused of offending Islam.
Then in discussion appeared a learned one – who tried to talk as it should be talked in a normal discussion.
He pointed out many things about the historical development of Islam and the position of Islam towards philosophy and etc.
As a result – it appeared that in reality – Islam denies philosophy as a means of achieving absolute truth. As a result – it denies philosophy at all.
So – this proved that my original statement was true, and Islam has no chance in the philosophical discussion because it cannot accept the position of other persons as equal. So, thus any debate or philosophical dispute with Muslims is impossible.
In such a way – they have the same disease as every other Old Testament based religion – Syndrom of Chosenness.
You Must Believe in (my God) and accept (my position) – then only…
I pointed out – that laws of material nature do not discriminate – you believe it or not. Fire will burn you despite you are innocent children, believer or nonbeliever. That’s a law of material nature.
Thus the second part of my statement was proved too – the science of nature is absent in Islam, in the sense, that it is ignored for the benefit of acceptance or denying of Faith.

It reminded me of our own situation in Vaisnavism – western converts imagine themselves being Vaisnavas – thus higher than Varnasrama and Stri Dharma, higher than laws of Manu, laws of nature. And as a result – complete ignorance.
But fire will not discriminate – are you Vaisnava, Christian or Muslim. Fire will burn.
If you neglect your particular Dharma as a man or woman – then there are consequences, despite your religious belief. That’s science.
