The problem isn't the not knowing what to do it is the not knowing what they want you to do.
Study philosophy to learn to ask the right questions, study religion to learn to listen to the wrong answers.
It seems you teach a child your religion so they can recognize your enemies.

I may be getting paranoid here, but there's been a bit of sock puppetry and other such shenanigans by a couple of self-professed Muslims in a couple threads in which I've been involved here and here. I can't help wonder if some of my old friends from the Ummah forum are involved. I asked one of them outright, and he just ignored the question.

Wouldn't surprise me in the least.

To find answers you must first seek those to whom you can ask questions.
Study philosophy to learn to ask the right questions, study religion to learn to listen to the wrong answers.

We need not worry about the 10,000 Muslims who are lost in their dream but we should welcome the 1 who questions what is reality.

No disagreement there, and I have no problem with them coming here, even without saying whence they are coming (although it would be courteous to just say a simple "Hi, Shrunk! Remember me?"). But they still have to obey the rules.
Anyway, I'm getting way ahead of myself here. It's all just idle speculation on my part at this point.

Well, I'm not expecting anything else to develop here. But if it does, you'll be among the first to know.

My thoughts exactly. You never know what, or who, might turn up.
