I have a strong interest in theology and psychology and have been using Y/A as a research field, so to speak. It is obvious to me that there exists two very distinct personality types when it comes to theists on R&S. I've named each of these types "Zombies" and "Reliants". Reliants are theists who possess no strong opinion with regards their religious faith, but use God as a method of positive self-reinforcement. This is by no means a bad thing, even atheists use their own methods for increasing their self-confidence. Children create invisable friends for that same reason. Many Reliants do not even fully believe that there does exist a god but just like some atheists tell themselves that they're looking great when in fact they are not. Reliants are generally uninterested in religion, and are also the ones that revert to atheism. Zombies on the other hands are the sole reason for militant atheism. They are brainwashed from a young age and are told not to question anything.

I hear the most ridiculous questions from other races such as: "Do blacks in America have an actual culture?" and "how do you feel about your people being enslaved?" Why are other races being such hypocrites? They don't want a black history month, yet they want to ask you all the most dumbest questions ever. In my opinion, Black history month should be expanded, because people are so concerned about how we are (hair, lifestyle, socially). People will ask offensive questions, yet they don't want to learn about you - What?

Whomsoever Allah desires to guide, He expands his chest to Islam; whomsoever He desires to lead astray, He makes his chest narrow, tight, as if he were climbing up to the sky (6:125)

1- When people first heard of the verse of man’s climbing to sky (space) , they considered it as a sort of imagination, and that Quran regards the ascension to space in a metaphorical manner. Actually the verse is a prophecy that came true centuries after it was first revealed.


2- The similitude is very accurate, as climbing to high distances in the air causes chest tightness and the feeling of suffocation. The more the ascension increases, the more tightness reaches so critical and difficult stage that respiration is not possible any more. That’s why oxygen cylinders are taken when ascending up the sky, as in space ships !

From Al Kafi by Al Kelleeny - The Shia Imam:

1- "Omar رضي الله عنه - While he was a Caliph - Was going to Ali كرم الله وجهه at his home, as he met Ali on his way Ali said: Why didn't the fair Caliph sent me a messenger? Omar replied: I honor myself by Visiting a great man like you in his place" (7/216، 249)

2- "Omar married Omm Kalthoum, Ali's beloved daughter" (5/346) (6/115، 116)

3- "Omar - While he was a Caliph - said: never reject a Command of Ali" (7/324)

4- "Ali saw the Body of Omar after he passed away and said: I wish I were meeting God at the same time with this fair man" 5/346) (6/115، 116)

Please Shia ans Sunna brothers Check the sources mentioned by paragraph and pages' numbers from "Al Kafi" Book by Imam Al Kelleeny.. And tell me...

What are your thoughts about this?

In the 80s there were a few songs around that were about,
Jetboy.

What was a Jetboy?

Could it have some sort of a Punk connection?
