Re: When you reach the age of reason, will you reject supernatural religion?

For Muslims in general and Shia Ismailis in particular, reason plays very important role in understanding religion. They do not go against each other.

Belief that Quran is altered and has 10 more chapters and they are with their MHI. This is 0.00001% of ismailis. I don't think we can ever be able to fix them.
