Imagine in the story that it was a christian designer and it was you, what would you do?

MacDaddy01: So, many muslims here know that I'm an atheist here. I am going to tell you guys what happened to a friend recently. My friends name is James.


So, my friend was starting a personal blog but he wanted it to look professional because he is kind of popular. He needed a website designer to design his blog. James found a designer who has a great reputation and has designed many popular websites. The designer is a muslim. James paid the designer and the designer started to work on the blog. Now, James is an atheist and he somethings writes thing about criticising religion and god. Unfortuantely, the designer has to ask James for some of his written material because he needs to show james how to upload stuff on the blog and how his blog with look like.

James noticed that the designer stopped giving him regular updates on the website and started delaying progress reports. What happened was that the muslim designer was confused and angry that he was helping an atheist to set up a blog criticizing/mocking God to a point of blasphemy (sometimes christianity and sometimes islam). James learnt this from the junior partner of the muslims designer who had to confess because he didnt like the way the client was complaining about the delays.

Long story short, the blog was designed well and James is blogging away. But was the muslim right? Should he have designed the blog or refunded the money to the atheist blogger?

This is a situation that many muslims in website design can face............

Good evening LB,

The scenario you gave can happen to anyone. It would be very difficult for an individual to be part of anything that is against his or her fundamental beliefs. It's not only peculiar to those involved in religion. A typical example would be a patriot who finds him or herself involved in something that is against his or her country; or a company employee who helped build a competitors products.

I won't say the individual in your example is wrong or right to have helped out because it has to do with his or her personal beliefs and conviction. However, I can say with some degree of certainty that the individual was wrong to have accepted a job he knows full well is against his religion only to 'sabotage' it with unnecessary delays. If he does not want to accept the job, he is supposed to refuse it and move on rather than delay it.

Now, in the event that the individual got to find out about the intent of the customer during the cause of the job, there is nothing stopping him from saying he cannot continue with it. It is best to stop rather than delay it. If he decides to continue then he owe it to the customer to deliver as at when due.


Thank you!

First of all, the individual did not know what the blog would contain atheism as it was a personal blog of a celebrity. It was after the material was sent for the blog that the designer realised that it would contain some atheism.


Also, you can't relate this to competition or patrotism. We are talking religion here and you ran away from station the option you would take in such a situation.

It can be related...Atheism and Theism are competing against each other and the individual is stuck in the middle.

What would you do? You like to escape difficult arguments.

C'mon LB,

I only shy away from arguments that would lead absolutely nowhere and some that really do not make much sense. Anyways, this hardly qualifies as an argument but a simple personal question to each of us.

You asked a direct question and it is not a simple 'yes' or'No' answer. If I know that doing something would come back to hurt a belief I hold dear then I will not be a party to it.

The bold was all I needed

Buisnes is buisnes . Belief is belief

if am a mechanic, will i refuse to repair an atheist car because he want to give an atheist lecture.


If am a libarian, would i refuse to issue an atheist book to a student.



The answer is NO. I can only give my personal advice. If he insists, i treat him like my fellow customer.

If i dnt atend to him, another person wil. I am nt ready to loose more customers

At bold: Would you repair a car Bokoharam intends to use for their crimes?

Aiding criminals and terrorists is illegal. That is not business. That is out of the question.


Why not be reasonable eh?

Shut up. Your question was irrelevant

^^
I think that's a perfectly reasonable question as it applies. It would be the same thing as aiding the atheist to do more evil. Lord only knows how many bloggers he would be able to confuse.

For an atheist to convince a man into accepting unbelief in the existence of God, he ultimately leads that man to eternal damnation. Eternal damnation is far worse than physical death which you consider to be a crime.

Personally, I would refuse that job.

Stirklymi, see what irrelevant question has caused? Now atheism is now similar to terrorism and crime.

Lol. You said it, not me.

i wil accept the job, and then find a way to inform the police of the boko haram intention

I respect the reply of this man striktlymi on this topic.The problem is atheists hate truth and that is a chief characteristic of their father satan.I pray for the day xtians will stop replying these evil godless people.When they see they are no more getting any attention they'll learn to shut up.
