So, what if I agreed with the general Sunni opinion about certain essential matters but went with the so-called Shia opinion in regards to other essential matters?.. to which camp would that throw me? am I guided enough to say "Alhamdullillah"? or am I a filthy infidel according to both sides? and who gets to decide if I'm guided or not anyway?
The line between a Sunni and a Shia can be much thinner than you imagine.. because those things are, for the most part, mere titles. The meaning behind them will continue to diverge as time goes, because as new generations come and go, they will influence their respective doctrines with personal conclusions and this will result in sub-doctrines, deviants, and reformers (as evident in every circle, be it religious or not)
If there was anything I learned from reading and researching, it's how complicated history is and how distant from the truth we are to even begin thinking that we're "on the right path" and everyone else is misguided. The right path is unknown, guess what? that's one of the reasons why I believe in god. I'll never say alhamdullillah in regards to my beliefs until God directly tells me that I had it right ;)

why dont we just talk on private message, i am afraid if we discussing on open forum, it might invite some troll, or people who just doesn't understand the situation. But that's if you really want to know the truth and seeking further truth about Sunni and Shia.

I lived among Sunni, Shia and Christians and I have best friends from all sides. But sure! go ahead and enlighten me :) I'll reply tomorrow though coz its getting real late here and I'm exhausted.

Then it means you are living around Asia or Europe from the time you mentions.
Edit: OK then i am also getting late here as well, but tomorow i will be bussy and i am afraid i will not answer fast enough and will make you wait for the rply. So i will try my best to answer i hope you understand if my answer comes late.
