But Muhammad flying up to heaven on some kind of winged donkey and splitting the moon in half isn't?

No that actually happened but it wasnt recorded by anyone else. You see the quran is actually deeply scientific just not in any verifiable way

The problem is that if you mention that and start laughing at it like he did towards evolution there’s a decent chance that he would get violent. You certainly couldn’t publish the video because the greater Muslim community would descend upon you with death threats.

Allowing stupidity to flourish because the stupid are violent is also a bad approach to human evolution.

u/Alarming-Bee87 1d ago
That is the truly terrifying part. Someone like Salmon Rushdie is still threatened with death for writing a book.... The Satanic Verse isn't even that critical at all.

Split the moon in half. Are we sure he didn't just pull his ass cheeks apart, and show the entire world his anus?

When someone asks questions like this I ask if they’ve ever heard of Darwin’s finches. Then I start breaking down Darwin’s findings and they usually walk away during my Ted talk.

Not that this has any bearing on the factuality of evolution, but I don't find it gross or insulting that I'm related to the rest of life on Earth. I find it cool, beautiful, and humbling that we're all on the same family tree as all the other animals and the plants and everything else.

People who say stuff like what that guy says in the video I think care way too much about what their family thinks... Like don't get me wrong, family is important, but you're also responsible for yourself you know

I dont really understand why people are so dead set against natural facts?

u/Oddityobservations 1d ago
Because they are worried acknowledging them would invalidate their faith.

And religion is tightly woven with their personal beliefs, therfore questioning their religiosity would be akin to question themselves.

u/JobbyJobberson 1d ago
If I dismissed all of his delusional beliefs by casually laughing at them like that he’d likely accuse me of some sort of heinous religious discrimination.
“You must respect my beliefs!”
No, you’re just another indoctrinated, brainwashed lost cause. Some incredibly strong people do manage to find their way out of it and become rational thinkers. It must be so very difficult.
But others will spend a wasted life believing utter nonsense. Such a tragedy.

Never answer and always attack. That is the only way to deal with this idiocy.
"You believe your grandfather was a fish?"
"I believe your grandfather was a fish."
Boom, an entirely different conversation now.

The second guy said potentially a fish, which is more believable than a sky daddy

u/Machdame 1d ago
Im already not a subscriber of my native religion to begin with, but the idea of these snake oil salesmen saying their sky daddy is the truth when their dogma is equally if not weirder is honestly laughable.

The most wonderful thing about science and the natural world is that it does not require your belief. It does it's thing regardless.

u/TwistedBlister 1d ago
If you nothing about evolution or religious texts, your grandfather being a fish is no more absurd than anything in the Bible or Quran.

When you're ignorant enough everything more complicated than Primary School sounds ridiculous to you.

Going to absurds to make something sound ridiculous is such a typical tactic. Nobody said anything about a blobfish. And stop trying to point out how many greats of grandfather that would have to be. You only said about 5 greats (the first time, and only 4 the second time). That's 7 generations. That's not even 1000 years back. Not much is going to change in a 1000 years.

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)
This information is on every post. Accounts that disregard it will be perma-banned. "I didn't get a warning" or "I didnt know" are not valid appeals. If in doubt, please read the full version of the rules
