Irresistible objects and two irresistible forces.

First let me say that you ask a number of questions in this message that I
would like to answer because they are of philosophical interest. However, you
do the same thing that Jason did. You ask too many questions. I simply do not
have the time to address all of them. So let me stick with the first one even
though I have gone through it with you before. It is harassment when you
harvest email addresses from email lists and bombard these people with
religious preaching that they are not interested in. It is harassment when
they ask you to stop doing that and you refuse. It is harassment when people
block you and you just keep opening new email addresses to continue to
bombard them any way. It is harassment when you have no answer to a logical
argument and instead start throwing tantrums in which you call names and
throw insults. All of this is harassment and because you engage in all of it
you make yourself a despicable person. Everywhere you go on the Internet you
elicit hostility because of this behavior. You also increase anti-Islamic
prejudice by making it clear that you are doing this for Islam. You are a
religious bully. And the pity is that if you would just let people know that
you are a Muslim and drop it to engage in normal discussion you just might
turn out to be a decent person. Instead you make sure that no one can see you
as decent at all.

Well Roger, how am I harassing? I have the right to express my belief,
thoughts and convictions freely. That’s not based on any constitution
anywhere in the world. That’s based on my independent character. Now,
you, dislike to hear even the word religion. Well, it isn’t my prob.
The latter is part of my tradition, heritage, upbringing and cultural
development. As you, are raised on incredulity, bigotry, irreverence
and fanaticism. The last term, however simply means, enormous
intolerance of opposing views. No Roger, I have been intently despised
and disrespectfully denigrated by your friend, Mariam, because I come
from a developing country. For her, I must only criticise the
government of Egypt and I shouldn’t even consider myself somewhat
eligible to criticise the United States government or western
philosophical standards as of Atheism and other thoughts of mental
rejection. Well, I asked you a question and simply you’ve evaded it.
As empirical science stands utterly futile in the face of this
furiously mass epidemic, what does Atheism offer? Isn’t it your
espoused doctrine? Why couldn’t you ask Neil Tyson about it? He seems
to be a funnily empiricist, an alleged competent astrophysicist. He
relies on pseudoscience to deceive his victimised audience, and you’re
just one of them. What could the field of Astronomy do regarding the
spread of coronavirus? I am fully rated to critically reassess and
criticise the actual stance of empiricism. What has the latter brought
to human development? Is religion held accountable for the spread of
that fatal disease? Now, is asking a question an act of harassment?
Can Science Determine Moral Values? Do we need morals to cope with
life difficulties? Where does conscience come from? Is life absolutely
purposeless? I currently see signs of major superpower shifting.
Physical science began to gradually collapse. Could we possibly attain
effective medical solution for that calamitous eruption without
adhering excellence? Basically, I see world major powers taking
advantage of the crisis to simply wage a political combat, in which
each and every contestant attempts to subdue his rival. Providing the
best solution to the currently global outbreak became an unethical
competition among world superpowers to specify, who is going to
influence and dominate others by manipulating the proper cure, to
thence enjoin terms and rule over others.
