Weird and Religious
In some Hindu traditions, certain holy men known as Aghori deliberately use things considered impure, including meditating in cremation grounds and using human skulls as bowls. They believe breaking social taboos helps them detach from illusion and fear.
Religious image of the day.
In the name of religion
1993, Mumbai in India. Muslim perpetrators from criminal networks influenced by Islamist narratives carried out coordinated bombings killing hundreds. The attacks were justified by organisers as revenge for anti Muslim riots and as defence of Muslim honour, blending crime, politics, and religious grievance.
Fact
In Islam, divine decree is accepted, and Islam teaches that God’s knowledge and will encompass all events.
Islam and polygamy
Polygamy exposes the imbalance between men and women. In Islam, men may accumulate wives under the pretence of responsibility or charity, while women are granted no equivalent freedom. The emotional and physical realities of such arrangements are ignored in favour of male entitlement sanctioned by scripture. The persistence of this practice, defended even today as divine allowance, speaks clearly about whose interests the religion was created to serve. Defenders often argue that Islam improved women’s status relative to its historical context, yet this defence concedes the central point. A god who merely echoes the morality of his time is not revealing eternal truth but recording local norms. If divine morality must be judged by comparison to seventh-century Arabia, then it is not divine, it is historical.

Why should ancient testimony about supernatural events be trusted when we reject similar modern claims as unreliable?
