I’m a Muslim but the one where you’ve someone in a small place sitting (I think, the pastor?) and someone can just confess their entire sin history.
For example, you have committed fraud or murdered someone and you can confess and if I remember well, the pastor is not allowed to do anything (IE: going to the police).
So, yeah, you could see it like that. We do pray to Allah and ask for forgiveness, however – it has to be sincere. I hear a lot of people say ‘’do crimes, pray and it is forgiving haha’’ but that’s not case.
The repentance has to be genuine from the heart. The difference is we pray to Allah, the One we believe created us and we do not tell anyone else ours sins. Why tell another human your sins when you can connect to the One who created you and (genuinely) ask for forgiveness?
I cannot really go into the conversation regards Science and Religion, I’m not the right person for that. Though, we do not believe that the Quran was written by people. More so, revealed by Allah to the Prophets (PBUH).
I could go on because, I genuinely love my religion by heart and even I’m still learning a lot about Islam.
The hate part though, I fully agree with you. Wish we could all just live our lives without bashing one another. My own family is quite split Islamic, Atheism, Catholic and Reformed Church (I’m not sure what the name is of the last one in English).
My apologies for the nonsense response. I misread the question in my tired state. I would have never replied to your comment in the first place if I had the proper context.
I really want everyone to believe in whatever they want to, as long as it doesn’t make them hurtful to other people. You sound like you agree, and that’s very cool. I wish you the best and I hope you have a nice day.

I think it is Catholic or Christianity.

I don’t think it is weird, I find it interesting.

Currently busy with something, so can’t make a decent comment back. I will edit the comment when, I can.
