Seat68 Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 I think it may be because of the association with dogs and the moon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withnail Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Is it because they are dyslexic and can’t spell Luna - Anul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted April 18, 2022 Share Posted April 18, 2022 Has anyone ever met a religious person that wasn't brought up in a family of believers, or didn't 'find' God either because they needed comfort or someone to thank for good fortune? I'm just curious if anyone every walked into a library on a Tuesday, read the Bible/Quran/Torah etc with no underlying emotional turmoil in their life and decided it all just adds up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And have decorated pretty much every room in my house and now my flat at least once. I've never even considered wallpaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I need to get to know him a bit more, but I've just had a guy start working for me who is Muslim. He was born in Portugal so no Muslim connections as far as I can see. He did work in Saudi Arabia for about 10 years which is where he converted, but as far as I can tell it was his own choice. Maybe something happened to him that made him "find" Islam. But at the moment he appears to be someone who just thought it made sense 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at the moment he appears to be someone who just thought it made sense To be honest what I wondered is probably an impossible scenario as there can't be many people in the world who know nothing of any religions and can form truly unbiased opinions. With Saudi being the Muslim country I feel like it must be hard to live any form of life without it being intrinsically linked to Islam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
