How do I deal with a friend is trying really hard to convert me to Islam
  • YourMom YourMom Now 100%

    I was told:

    The text of the oldest Quran manuscripts and the Quran used today are very similar. Islamic sources and scientific studies emphasize that the text of the Quran has been preserved and uncorrupted for centuries. This is one of the basic principles of the Islamic faith.

    Scientific studies have also shown that the early manuscripts of the Quran and the current editions largely overlap. When the oldest copies, such as the Sana'a Manuscripts, Birmingham Manuscripts and Topkapı Mushaf, are examined, it has been observed that the textual differences are minimal. These differences are usually due to differences in spelling, minor grammatical details or punctuation marks; however, this does not affect the meaning or content of the Quran.

    Scientists and historians state that there is more than 99% agreement between the oldest manuscripts and the current Quran. This shows that the text of the Quran has been meticulously preserved for centuries and has survived to the present day without being corrupted.

    In summary, the basic text of the Quran has remained almost completely the same, both from the perspective of Islamic belief and scientific study.

    I think it's too crazy and like the other user said, worthy of abandoning

  • Not sure how to deal w it. He was a fun guy to work with. He's a good person, but pretty crazy. This is the second time he decided he reeeeallly had to make a hard sell. I'm agnostic. I feel like it's gonna really offend him bc he sent me paragraphs about the religious text and I simply don't care. But I don't wanna hurt his feelings. This time... Science proves it. Can I have it both ways? I'm not gonna be an Islamic but I still wanna be his friend. but he's being so weird about it and I'm bad about confrontation. I'm cool with his choices but damn

    I've been following this stuff for a while, but I really don't know much outside of GOP pollsters loving to wishcast for some reason. What are the best polls to predict what's going to happen? What do you think happens?

    Because the voters are giving us Trump. In fact, so are you by even posting this comment. Thanks so much.

    I do feel bad bc I think trump is obviously worse on lgbtq issues. But at the end of the day, genocide is genocide and I'm not voting for American Express vs Blackrock all over again

    Love how the author makes the election all about their life story or some shit. Reminds me of the liberals that supported anti lgbtq stuff or racist GOP policies and want all the credit in the world for becoming a lib

    Do you think India Walton could run again? Or someone else decent? Would they just do something real similar or pump AIPAC money into the primary?

    This is the fellow who did a kickass write in campaign where he literally appealed to MAGA folks after losing the primary.

    Can you imagine if a lefty ran after losing in a primary? They would be crucified. Fucking lmao.

    >BATAVIA – Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown was picked on Thursday to lead Western Regional Off-Track Betting Corp., setting in motion an end to the longest-running mayoral administration in the city’s history. >The WROTB board, which went to elaborate lengths to keep secret Brown’s candidacy for president and chief executive officer, selected the Democratic mayor over two other finalists following a more than five-hour closed-to-the-public executive session at Batavia Downs Gaming & Hotel. >In a statement emailed late Thursday, Brown said he appreciated "the vote of confidence in me and my record of success as Mayor of Buffalo." >"At this point, a contract still needs to be negotiated before the position is accepted. I look forward to meeting with the chairman of the board to start the process toward final approval of a contract," he said. "In the meantime, I will continue to serve in my capacity as Mayor."

    Honestly I think the lack of a primary is negative. But those keys aren't that bad tbh. He's just wrong on multiple points.

    Staying with my mom for a couple months before I do this study abroad thing. She is obsessed with George Soros, but not other billionaires. Keeps saying things that are halfway antisemitic tropes, but let's be real. She's super religious and thinks some things about jews she's afraid to say. Today was the classic, "paid protestors" where she kept going on and on. Showed me a fake job listing and a christian blog post as proof. I said that's not proof, so agree to disagree right? How would y'all handle this? Do I just give up on refuting this crap? I have a lot of jewish friends, and this shit really drives my anger/anxiety through the roof, so I do not think I can just have a rational convo. But I also don't wanna sit next to racist crap being spewed and say nothing. I could find another living situation, but it's like an hour away from where all my friends/other fam live and I have already asked these people for a ton of favors.

    Libs literally bending over backwards because they decided they liked him *before* they learned about his past. Voted 3rd party last time, almost was gonna vote for a lib this time but I've been called an antisemite so many times I just can't bring myself to voting for a guy that not only supports genocide but calls me a racist for opposing it! Like you can't call me a racist and expect me to vote for your candidate. Makes no sense, but that's what the convo is gonna be the next three months lmao.

    Have these centrists friends. They are actually pretty chill, give me a place to stay. But they're your typical Bill Maher Libs in a lot of ways Anyway, some months ago I complained about their views on Israel, drunkenly called them unintentionally racist to a mutual friend, they found out and hated on me for a while. So anyway, I've been spending time with them, and they legitimately hate Israel now. It's come up enough times that I can tell they legitimately hate them for being right wing. Is there something happening in the Lib media bubble, or did they just actually realize Israel sucks? I know this is some nerd shit but it bothers me I can't wrap my head around it.

    These groups are hilarious. Four Our Future, In Union, Democracy for All, and now this new one I just joined with a name I forget. They keep popping up with new names, but I am starting to get the feeling they are just the same entities laundering money or some shit. Even funnier, they are all anti union while canvassing (without saying so usually) for pro union candidates. In Union, of course, was the most aggressively anti union one I have been a part of. For Our Future had a union, but the hiring managers lied about the union and hoped people wouldn't find out. This new one I joined I swear is just Democracy for All with a different name. I suspect these groups notice their employees trying to unionize. They realize it is a bad look when they fight a union while supporting a(n allegedly) pro union lib on the ballot. Then the next time they need to start canvassing they decide to have a new name so they can fight off the union again before shit gets real. Thanks for reading my rant. This shit is infuriating and hard to track.

    This is what I'm starting to think. She obviously can't win a primary, even with her experience at VP. This is their only shot. They tried really hard to make her a thing in 2020. What do y'all think?

    I had some zero THC cbd and cbg mix like 5 years ago. No side effects and it really helped me stay away from booze and other dumb shit. I was productive without the side effects of smoking regular bud (laziness and munchies really fuck with me and THC gives me more anxiety) Should I be going for CBD or CBG or try and do both again? Anyone have experience with this sort of thing?

    Sometimes I legit need the site for niche things. Asked for advice about an AirBNB. This time I had literal fecal water coming up from the shower drain. The host claimed it was impossible. I had him come into my unit and flush the toilet and he saw the water come up. Half the replies were about me clogging the toilet (lol) so it was my fault. Others were saying plumbing issues can be common and to be patient with the host. Had some other replies just straight up calling me dishonest and saying I broke the drain somehow. Looked into their profiles, low and behold they were all on real estate subs, wall street bets, landlord subs, air bnb host subs, etc. You get the picture. And there were enough of them to sort of shift the narrative in the replies. Fucking gross and annoying. Just wanted to vent. Got my host to at least start working on the problem. Based on a little snooping the host is a toolbag who got a little inheritance so that bought a place he can barely afford. So he does the plumbing and maintenance all himself while living here. He can't actually afford to be doing this, but the profits are too good to pass up!
