When people say lifestyle, it insinuates that being gay is a choice. I'd like to point out that being straight is never referred to as a "lifestyle" or a "choice".

Don't you think that being apart of the LGBT community is who you are, rather than a lifestyle?

Is there at least a little evidence that directly points to the existance of a god? What about any thing that makes it necessary for a higher power to exist?

A lot of embellishment was added to Gods commands by the men who wrote the Bible (about punishment) . The Bible itself tells us to watch out for that sort of thing . isnt Gods punishment being denied eternal life ?

( This is a follow on from my last question )

Mine is inexpensive and plain watches. Sort of a reaction to high tech multifunctionalism. Timex and noname novelty watches are a few. My fav is a Skagen from Denmark. SS with a silver face, shiny silver hands and nothing else, no second hand, no numbers, no day/date. Simplicity. And none over $15

Merely stating that individuals will be judged as such by Allah does not mean that they have equal rights and roles, or that they are judged by the same standards. In fact, Sura 37:22-23 implies that women will be punished on Judgment Day for sins committed by their husbands.

There is no ambiguity in the Qur’an, the life of Muhammad, or Islamic law as to the inferiority of women to men, despite the efforts of modern-day apologists to salvage Western-style feminism from scraps and fragments of verses that have historically held no such progressive interpretation.

How does this make you feel and what does it make you think?

"One of the basic principles of Islam is justice for all humans and equality in the eyes of God. Women are considered no less than men in aspects of religion and are not denigrated anywhere in the Quran. First of all, in the Quranic Creation story, Eve is not mentioned as being seduced by the Serpent and taking the first bite of forbidden fruit. Rather, it says: (my italics) "by deceit he [Satan] brought them to their fall: when they tasted the tree their shame became manifest to them (7:19:23). Both Eve and Adam were held equally responsible. Hence, women in Islam do not bear the stigma as the daughters of a sinful Eve nor are they to be blamed for corrupting innocence (Sherif 3). Nor were women created as inferior to men, or solely for pleasure and procreational purposes as the Judeo-Christian scriptures sometimes imply "the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man.

I think they use religion as an excuse but this reeks of a political agenda to me:

First question was about predestined for salvation, This question is in regards to predestined for judgement.
Is there a such thing as predestined for judgement? if so, or not, why? think about it before you answer. remember, God said about Pharoah, "For this cause I raised you up to show my power..." God hardened Pharoahs heart so that he would resist Moses.
So, is it possible to be predestined for judgement?

What is it about humans that makes us believe we're more important than all other forms of life? Why are we the privelaged species, the only race that will ascend into heaven? Is it simply our complex intelligence, the fact that our minds can wrestle with the possibility of our own deaths? And is it therefore possible that we invented religion in order to explain that which can't be explained?
