Quran 47:15 “(Here is paradise) which the righteous are promised: in it are rivers of water incorruptible… RIVERS OF WINE, a JOY to those who drink; and rivers of honey pure and clear.” http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/047.qmt.html#047.015

No doubt winos would love to drink wine all day and night from Islamic wine rivers in Islamic heaven...in fact, Im sure they would like to swim in it and pass-out on the wine river banks, but I only enjoy wine occasionally with a meal...something dark with a filet...is this fair?

If Allah wants to provide drugs, why not something better than alcohol?

Everyone measures the quality of life differently however, should'nt they be allowed to die in a more humane way so they do not have to suffer....I have seen suffering.....I would not wish it for anyone...I have held the hand of a person that is slowly dying and begged for help....If there was a point of no return would u want to wither away slowly or die humanely....why would it be so wrong to not want to suffer

I told my daughter that she is not open for buisness. And her teacher told her that it is old fashioned and unrealistic parents like me causing teenage pregnancy. The only way I found out was the Drs. office called to confirm. I was there waiting for them. When her teacher heard Mom? She immidiately asked for security. This just happened an hour ago. Is this criminal?

I recently heard on a radio show that they found a portion of the oldest known version of revelations and it actually indicated that the number of the beast was not 666 but actually 616? What do you know about this and if it is true doesn't it beg the question about biblical accuracy?

I've always wondered why people are gay and what makes them that way. Is it a fetish? Alot of people have really weird fetishes, so could it be a fetish? Are people born like that? Is it a possible disorder? One of my family members is like this and just trying to find a reason why he is like that.

Political correctness is literally killing us. Almost all armed conflict today is Islamic and Islam has always been at war. The "source" or "cause" is Islam...the Quran, but because of PC we cannot address the root cause!

We know for a fact Islam is false and only for the dumbest humans on earth. Islamic communities have the highest illiteracy and poverty...all a product of Islam itself.

To even think there is any possible explaination or context for this to be from the mind of God is highest stupidity >> Quran 20:53 "He (Allah) Who has, made for you the EARTH LIKE A CARPET spread out" http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/quran/020.qmt.html#020.053

You have to be among the dumbest people on earth to even try to explain why this is from God >>> Quran 8:12 I will cast TERROR into the hearts of those who disbelieve. Therefore STRIKE OFF THEIR HEADS AND STRIKE OFF EVERY FINGERTIP of them. http://cwis.usc.edu/dept/msa/quran/008.q...

To consencrate is to make pure, passing a bowl over the insence, flame, water and salt and saying a certain chant consencrates the object, or so I have read. It also said you have to consencrate every object on the altar. The bowls to hold the water in, the candles and insence and bowl to hold the salt is on the altar, so do they have to be consencrated? But how can they be consencrated if the process involvings holding the object over the insence and dipping into the holy water and sprinkling with salt?

This is an honest question so I 'd really would like some honest intuitive answers. I'm just wondering before anyone converts to these beliefs and religions do they actually put stock into it or do they switch because all of the hype or the friends talk you into and you feel cheated or tricked.

I know this can happen in any religion (ie:me and christianity). Another question just sparked my interest.

Also, I don't have anything against these religions. I know some background on it and I don't see anythingh that is neccessarily disagree with. I justam still searching, and although I should researching it on my own, I think asking the question is the first step and I rather do it here.

Is it because something is troubling them enough that they give up rationality for hope? Hope is a beautiful thing but can lead us further from the truth.
