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
Yeah that is solid but will absolutely be countered in a way I cannot fully articulate a response to. That's his thing now. I have a really hard time researching this and then coming up with a conclusion, so I hope you will help me with my response so I do not offend him lol.
edit: had no clue it's a meme, I am even more screwed
I was making a joke about the idea that because something is old and remains accurate to the original, it must necessarily be true.
This line of argument might be persuasive to a Christian who is concerned about the accuracy of the Bible after so many translations, but the Quran is not even very old compared to other written works.
We have extensive hieroglyphic descriptions of ancient Egyptian religion but that doesn't mean someone ought to began worshipping Ra and Osiris, for example.
