  • Quality and quantity of worship

    I used to do worship abundantly before being diagnosed. Not I am more focused on quality of worship not quantity of worship. But still my four prayers are intact. My paradigm changed from aktharu amala to ahsanu amala that is quantity to quality.

  • Nomoanalysis of Pakistani dramas

    Pakistani dramas teach destructive self pity instead of problem solving.

    Pakistani dramas can both win or lose Indian cultural armageddon.

    Pakistani dramas intentionally or unintentionally promote project of new Indo-liberal century.

  • Palestinian secularism

    Palestinian secularists may appear modern, but their Arab pride is similar to Jewish pride of Netanyahu.

  • Iceberg of sexual revolution

    Keith M Morgan Crimes of passion maybe the tip of iceberg of sexual revolution. Porn has made us traditionalists unsafe in our own homes so people here are choosing psychotic monasticism which is unhealthy.

  • Underestimating once in a lifetime sin and near death virtue

    A monk prayed for sixty years in a room. After sixty years, he came out and was attracted to sin and did zina. He felt guilty so he went to pool to purify himself for prayer. A beggar came and requested him. He gave him in charity. During purifying, he died of heart attack. Angels of reward and angels of justice had a negotiation. Angels of justice said his zina nullifies his sixty years of worship. Angel of reward said but his near death charity has outweighed his zina. So, neither underestimate a once in a lifetime sin nor a small near death virtue.

  • Whale of existence

    A Central Asian Naqshbandi saint recommends reciting SubhanAllah hundred times tonight before sleeping with the prayerful intention of liberating consciousness from inescapable Jonah’s whale of stressful existence.

  • Can Talmudic narcissism lead to vengeance

    Alperovich Anatoly But sometimes we can feel that rabbis are not respected enough which can result in narcissistic injury and therefore vengeance.

  • Towards universal anti capitalism

    Riley Wishart I am a pro Shariati orthodox Muslim. Shariati a pious sociologist proposed pious socialism as an alternative to post Jewish Marxism. We look upto Catholic socialism. Afghan, Chechen, Uyghur and Syrian grievances can be co opted by open minded post secular socialists to arrive at a universal anti capitalist and anti-imperial consensus.

  • Irreducible Eastern complexity

    Belal Ahmed Two of us are trying to think outside Eastern boxes. But west has no tangible advantage in post secular progress. But I think even the sophistication of game theory cannot make our irreducible complexity tractable for them. My mission is finite. My two simple loathings are sin and blood. I pray my virtual existence contributes to damage control sins and bombs in East.

  • Existential BPD and Ariane Sherine

    My wife is BPD so your experiences have helped me understand her and empathize with her. You talked about religion complicating BPD. My wife is ultra orthodox while I am neo orthodox but religion helped her cope better before marriage. BPD are more disposed to self transcendence which expresses either as her traditional outreach or your humorous secular outreach. I pray for your post secular progress. I would request you to make Eastern BPD struggles visible because we live in a quite egoless world not suited to make individualistic BPD stories famous. Thanks again for your contribution towards a world with more tolerable and meaningful disequilibrium.
