This has prevented me many times from approaching a beautiful woman that I wanted to talk to. &nbsp;Therefore, I took to the Internet to try to find the answer. I became interested with the community that classified itself as the \"pick-up community\". All of these man, and even some woman, promised that their techniques would get you a girlfriend or more sex than you've ever had before. The only thing was you had to buy their products and listen to their advice . I became frustrated after little success with these methods and then it hit me!</p>\n<p>All of these so-called experts had one thing in common. They are all marketing gurus disguising themselves as skilled ladies men to get money. I noticed all of these so-called experts claimed that their video series or ebook would be taken down soon. Therefore you had to act quickly. My failed attempts with woman and with the pick-up artist community really caused me to reevaluate my life. When I did this some amazing things happened.</p>\n<p>I stopped worrying about trying to get a woman, and I started focusing on things that interested me. I didn't rely on any of these techniques when I tried interacting with woman. Most importantly, I became unafraid to walk away from a girl who was being disrespectful to me. Through this time I learned that if you're not happy being single then you won't be happy in a relationship.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The truth I learned was that there isn't a model or technique to attract every woman in the planet. Woman like men all have their different likes and dislikes. Some woman like the macho bad boy, while others like the quiet reserved ones and others prefer churchgoing men. Likewise, some guys prefer heavier woman, and others might prefer a girl covered in tattoos. There simply is not way to be attractive to every person on this planet. By developing the best version of myself, and not worrying I e eventually got a girlfriend. The best advice I can give is love yourself and others will love you too.</p>\n</html>",

      "body": "<html>\n<p>In this article, I will be talking about the phenomenon of religious illiteracy that is present in the United States. However, this issue is present in many other places not just the United States. Simply put many people don't know very much about the origins and issues with the history of their religion and their religion's sacred text. This then causes mainstream readers and uninformed readers to fall into one of two categories. The first are gullible readers who are persuaded by sensationalist writers. These writers are not scholars and often present things to cause controversy. We all know the press loves controversy. The second category are those who choose to not educate themselves on their religions history. I will be discussing both of these categories in this article.</p>\n<p>https://i.imgsafe.org/7e5836ae6a.jpg</p>\n<p>The above image is of the Council of Nicaea that happened in the year 325 A.D. Because of sensationalist and uneducated claims this council has become an infamous topic. Very few people know what actually happened during this council. Constantine called this council to address the Arian controversy that was affecting the Roman empire at this time. A bishop named Arius, was promoting a view that Jesus was a created being and not co-eternal or co-equal with God. Alexander of Alexandria was the opposing bishop who opposed Arius and promoted that view that Jesus was co-equal and co-eternal with God. Constantine called the council to settle the issue of Christ's identity with God. A overwhelming majority of the bishops sided with Alexander and thus this was the church's first universal declaration that Jesus was the divine son of God who was also God.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The problem is that authors like Dan Brown promote fiction about what this council was all about. Brown insists that it was a close vote, it was not. Brown asserts that before the council Christians only saw Jesus as a mortal man, this is also false. Others who seek to downplay Christianity, like Islamic preacher Yusuf Estes, assert that the books of the Bible and verses of the Bible were permanently changed at this council. Both of these claims are false and have no basis in history. Now I'm not promoting Christianity in this article, &nbsp;just exposing ignorance. The truth is that the list of accepted New Testament books was not decided at Nicaea and verses of the Bible were not changed at Nicaea. Sensationalists authors claim this, and many ignorant people spout out this claim without researching church history. On the other side, many others don't even study the Council of Nicaea or even know what it was about. If you don't believe me ask any random Christian what the Council of Nicaea was and see if they can tell you.</p>\n<p>https://i.imgsafe.org/7e9c89e200.jpg</p>\n<p>That brings us to the next topic and that is the Canon of the New Testament. This refers to the list of books that were accepted into what eventually became the Christian New Testament. The uneducated believers simply assume the church fathers got the correct books down. Many of them are not even aware of the existence of other writings that didn't make it into the New Testament. Examples include: The Gospel of the Egyptians, The Gospel of Judas and the Shepard of Hermas. Therefore we have two problems with the issue of other gospels and letters that weren't accepted. On the one hand they are ignored or simply dismissed, and the others claim that there were hundreds or thousands of Gospels and the Christians simply cherry picked the Gospels and letters to include in the Bible. This claim is also false. While the NT canon didn't fall from heaven, it also was rooted in a historic process. From documents such as Muratorian fragment, scholars can tell there was a list in the early church of accepted works. The four canonical gospels, Paul's letters and 1 and 2 John were the first to be accepted. While other works like Revelation and James took longer. There were also other issues why other books were rejected, you simply need to compare them to see the difference. So with the canon we have people who ignore and others who exaggerate.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>https://i.imgsafe.org/7ec6f79acd.jpg</p>\n<p>The Old Testament or Hebrew Bible poses some serious problems for Christians and Jews. It certainty is hard, as rational human beings, to accept everything that this book says. So many dismiss it as a fairy tale while others believe every word. The Exodus is an intriguing example because there is no archaeological or historical evidence that this event ever happened. I learned this when I was a student at a seminary school. For those who don't know, seminary is a school where people preachers and pastors. However, it is also where you learn about the academic study of the Bible. However, I don't think the issue is whether or not this was actually happened. The writers of the Exodus were creating a theology-based narrative and not a literal history which explains the historical problems. Additionally, I also learned that the prophets in the Hebrew scriptures were more like social commentators and not crystal ball gazers. There are many historical problems with the Hebrew scriptures that many people don't know about.</p>\n<p>https://i.imgsafe.org/7edf643e10.jpg</p>\n<p>Our last topic will be about the Quran. In my previous article, I talked about the need for an Islamic reformation. Many Muslims are unaware of textual differences in the text of the Quran. They are also unaware of the similarities between Zoroastrianism and Islam. The truth is the Caliph Uthman burned variant readings of the Quran. Did we know he choose the right readings? It's impossible to say.</p>\n<p>I'm not calling for an end to religion simply just an end to ignorance. It is my desire to see everyone seeking out the truth so that religious illiteracy won't be an issue anymore. Thanks for reading.</p>\n</html>",

      "body": "<html>\n<p>With the recent events of terrorist attacks in various countries, Islam has once again become a controversial subject. The terrorist group ISIS has gained much notoriety and fear around the world for their actions. This has resulted in members from different spectrum to take differing viewpoints. Members on the far-right are quick to point the finger at Islam, and demonize it as an evil ideology bent on world domination. While those on the left are quick to point out that \"not all Muslims are terrorists\" while ignoring the inhuman actions of Muslims across the world. To be fair, all religious systems and non-believers have committed evil acts in the course of human history. Whether we like it or not, Islam is not likely to go away any time soon. Nor am I calling for an end to this religion, but simply a reformation. Simply put: Islam needs a reformation.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>https://i.imgsafe.org/8c5650bb18.jpg</p>\n<p>The image above is professor Nasr Hamid Abu Zayd who was a Muslim professor at Cairo University in the 1990s. I really don't think he did anything wrong. In fact, what he did is nothing different from what other historians, scholars and anthropologists have done with Jewish, Christian and other religious texts for centuries now. He simply proposed that the Quran was a cultural product of seventh-century Arabia, and that this text should be read in its historical context of 7th century Arabia. Also he didn't deny divine authority to the Quran, but he was forced to divorce his wife and he received many death threats from the Muslim scholars in Egypt. I want to readers to focus on an important piece of information: he didn't deny divine authorship of the Quran. He simply looked at it from a historical and cultural perspective, something that anthropologists do with many other texts. In reality this way of looking at the Quran, could be a very beneficial tool for bringing a reformation. If modern readers understood the tribal context and the time of warfare, that the Quran was revealed they may not be so quick to describe the Quran as a book of violence. Also Muhammad's so-called \"sword verses\" was in the historical context of the battles of the early Muslim community. The sad thing is fundamentalist Islamic groups use these verses to justify acts of terrorism.</p>\n<p>https://i.imgsafe.org/8c821d9fed.jpg</p>\n<p>This image is one of Sudanese Mahmoud Mohamed Taha who was executed in 1985. He was a legal reformer and he proposed that the Meccan and Medinan texts of the Quran differed greatly because they were addressed to specific historical audiences. oWhat exactly was his crime? Christian scholars have long recognized that there are discrepancies and differences among the Gospels? Was he correct in his claim? The early Muslim community faced different challenges when they were in Mecca and Medina, and he was simply using a historical methodology to make a valid claim.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>Other than what has happened in the past, it is clear that Islam needs a reformation in another way. I'm referring to the death penalty for apostates. Now this raises a very interesting question for Muslims and non-Muslims alike who study the Quran. In Surah 2:256 the Quran reads, \"There shall be no compulsion in acceptance of the religion. The right course has become clear from the wrong\". It is certainly true that Christians and Jews (called the dhimmis) were a proteced minority under Islamic rule. Jews, Christians and Muslims all lived together peacefully in Spain for a period of time. However, the problem comes with the Hadith or the sayings of the Prophet. According to Sahih al-Bukhari 9.57, Muhummad is purported to have said that anyone who changes the Islamic religion is to be killed. So what is it that Muslims should follow?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r018ohLUuL4</p>\n<p>In the above video you will see an interesting discussion. At the end, Richard Dawkins gets the Muslim scholar to admit that in Muslim countries Sharia law demands that apostates are to be killed. Is this compatible with 21st century ethics and morality? I would propose not. However, there are some places where Muslims would not be killed, like the United States or other countries where Sharia law is not imposed. Is Sharia law a barrier to Islam achieving a reformation? Since much of Shariah law is based on the Hadith is it time for Muslims to abandon the Hadith to live a life based on better morals and reason?</p>\n<p>https://i.imgsafe.org/8cf6515f65.jpg</p>\n<p>This is a famous youtube user who goes by the name \"Converted2Islam\". He was a prominent Muslim speaker and openly spoke about his decision to leave Christianity, and embrace Islam. In response to his recent choice, to leave Islam he has received multiple death threats. He understands that if he were living in a Muslim country he would in fact be killed according to Islamic law.</p>\n<p>I would like to ask my readers what have any of these men mentioned in this article done wrong? What is wrong about questioning or even leaving Islam? Many times when someone criticizes Islam, Muslims begin to use the \"race card\". They claim any overt criticism of Islam is racism and declare that others are being intolerant. The scholars in this article were looking at the Quran from a historical and cultural perspective. They simply looked at the book in its historical context. When others do the same, they're not being intolerant or hateful; they just simply want to question the veracity of Islam's claims. Scholars have the freedom to do this in Western countries, but not other places. This then raises some more questions...</p>\n<p>When will Muslims begin to allow honest discussions and even criticism of their religious text? When will they understand that these historical investigations are not an act of hatred or bigotry? When will Muslims stop killing those who decided to leave the faith?&nbsp;</p>\n<p>It is these reasons why Islam needs a reformation.</p>\n<p><br></p>\n</html>",
