Hello Psmith. I was quite intrigued by your reply. Am I right in assuming that you are a Muslim? Apologies if I have attributed a faith to you by mistake.
There is, I suppose, no problem in principle that religion should be a personal, private thing (Soren Kierkegaard held that view). Would it be the same in Islam?
If you extrapolate that view across all religions, what happens if someone holds a view that I find pernicious or extremely distasteful? The problem with reducing religion to a personal issue is that any criticism of religion could therefore become a personal attack, or be seen that way. That may be unfortunate if true, but if the alternative becomes that religion should be placed above criticism, then it should be a necessary evil (if I can use that word without irony).
I know my father would hold similar views to you (he is a CofE vicar) but I think I must disagree. I avoid all categories of 'good' or 'bad' here, as they are too subjective and necessitate some kind of objective marker that I do not see. Let me illustrate this with an example below. I would argue that for this gentleman, he would say that he loves god and lives his life for god, yet the majority of Christians of all stripes would denounce him. I think that your view, although admirable, does lead us down a dangerous path.
Warning to all: This video contains views which may offend and cause mental retardation due to you hitting your head against the nearest wall wondering how people can think such things. Seriously, if you are having a bad day, don't watch. You will end up snapping like Michael Douglas in 'Falling Down'.
