i do not think it's healthy and i wouldn't do it because death has to come naturally on its own terms

my question really is, what's the difference between ending your life and being depressed for the most part of it. isn't that how people get cancer and other types of illness

what are your thoughts on this

thanks

I would like to know how was it that you chose this religion. Was it an experience that occured for you, or was it just something you have always known. Do not hesitate to give details please.

I have siblings that can't take the way I live my life. It's not a sexuality issue, even, it's the fact that I do what I want with my life whilst they're all stuck with half a dozen kids, marriages that are just for show and because I don't have either, I need to be picked on.

I've been asked the most ludicrous questions about my life, from my siblings that are clearly just jealous that they're stuck in their miserable existence, consisting of nappies, drool, sex once a year, school runs and I'm not.

I have all my income to spend on myself, I have a beautiful place, dress expensively, travel when I get a vacation, read a lot, have plenty of sex, do yoga, go swimming and have a great body - - while they are stuck with weight problems, family problems, kid problems, etc.

It's not just a question, see, it's them trying to put me in the same box as them because it's more convenient for them that way. Heaven forbid they should have to think outside their A4 existence.

I know I wouldn't.
Mohammed knew that sex would sell very well among the group of his lecherous followers who were motivated to fight battles by the promise of sex slaves and booty. By constantly emphasizing to his followers that they would get untouched virgins in Paradise, Mohammed is clearly expressing his "high" opinion of the institution of marriage and his fairness to women. Once the followers go to heaven, they can conveniently ditch their wives for the fresher and more pleasurable sexual encounters with 'Houris' (beautiful virgins).
The relevant verses from the Koran are:
Koran 55:56-57
In them will be bashful virgins neither man nor Jinn will have touched before.Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 78:31
As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high- bosomed virgins for companions: a truly overflowing cup.
Koran 37:40-48
...They will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches.
Koran 44:51-55
...Yes and We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris. (beautiful virgins)
Koran 52:17-20
...They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris (virgins) we shall wed them...
Koran 55:57-58
Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 56:7-40
...We created the houris (the beautiful women) and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand.. "
Koran 55:70-77
"In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair... Dark eyed virgins sheltered in their tents whom neither man nor Jinn will have touched before..
In the Hadiths, Mohammed goes one step further and expands the promise of virgins to include a free sex market where there is no limit of the number of sexual partners. Women and young boys are on display as if in a fruit market where you can choose the desired RIPENESS.
Quote from Hadiths
Al Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 172, No. 34
Ali reported that the Apostle of Allah said, "There is in Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, he will have intercourse with them."
Mohammed's promise of an Islamic Paradise that glittered with the fulfillment of all sorts of wordly desires and sense enjoyment was nothing but a sinister ploy to recruit those who had no hope or expectation of ever getting these things in their present lives. Knowing that they are assured of such a Paradise simply because they follow Islam, Muslims can go around committing murder, rape plunder and loot. It is the picture of this paradise that has motivated Muslims over the centuries to cut down people of other religions, to desecrate their places of worship and mistreat them in the name of Allah. Even at the point of death, the spritually deprived Prophet of Islam could not see beyond wine, women and food, leave alone exploring spiritual heights of the soul.

Or for that matter what is it that gives man the superior edge over beasts. If a dolphin had a human body would we par. Do we have a bodily advantage, mental advantage or for that matter even a spiritual advantage?

Whilst investigating the commonality of mythological characters I have, so far, been able to determine some shared appearances as follows:

Drangons - Appear on all continents with the exception of Antarctica.
Dwarfs - Europe, North Africa (Egypt) and India
Gnomes, Giants & Orcs appear peculiar to Europe
Elfs - European
Orcs - Europe
Werewolves/Changelings - Europe, Asia, North Africa and America

I am only interested in thoughts on Mythology and Legends, not Science Fantasy where I know these characters are widely used.

Could anyone ofer me additional information / clarification / sources of information etc.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Christians, Muslims and Jews believe in the devil. Is this the common enemy, the devil divides the world ?

Is this the real enemy that pits man against man, brother against brother....?

Does it exist ?

How does it work ?

The Nazis took a dislike to the Jews because as far as they were concerned they had infiltrated the German community and sucked money from the economy to distribute amongst their own community. In effect they were taking from the native Germans and selling back but keeping and sharing the profits amongst themselves. Eventually the Nationals rebeled with the terrible outcome that has become one of the darkest episodes in history.I don't wish to offend anyone but isn't history repeating it's self in Britain with the Muslims? For example they take over entire areas in cities basicaly by buying people out then the people have to pay them to buy produce because they own the shops, they have to pay them to go places because they own the Taxis ( and pay more at Christmas etc. even though to the Muslims our religious celebration are just another day! ) what do we get back from them ? Do we get double time for working on their Religious days.? Should I now expect a death threat for an opinion
