The majority religion of my country?... I don't think there's that many starting off, but I'll make a list:
-Premarital Sex
-Masturbation
-Lust
-Anger (it is rare for me, but I do enjoy it... It gives me a bit of focus little else does)
-Sloth (It's enjoyable to be lazy every now and then)
-Blasphemy (saying things contrary to their belief statements)
-Approving of gay friends.
-Admiring a few notable gay people (Alan Turing was awesome)
-Eating meat on Fridays during Lent.
-Getting a microchip implanted in my skin (haven't done it yet, but want an RFID tag, it's my most desired body mod)
-Not admitting that any of the above is in any way wrong.

Ethics is my "religion," as I am a member of the Ethical Society. The word "forbid" just does not come into it, but making decisions wisely does. As such, all those many things which are bad for my health are "forbidden," in that I know darn well I ought to be eating less and exercising more, etc., etc., etc.

the place do you get off telling me and different Muslims what we expect of? a million. Muslims do not hate existence. we are blessed and grateful for the existence God gave us. I rejoice with my existence to the fullest its a shame you waste your hating on finished strangers you have by no potential met. 2. Muslims do not hate humanity in any respect, your announcing we hate something God created? Please you're being ridiculous now. 3. i don't think of each little thing a non Muslim does is from the devil. we are all people with loose will and we are ALL loose to ex cerise which will as we see greater healthful. 4. i don't hate all human beings that may not a Muslim if I did it would recommend i grew to become into to hate my mom, my father, my brothers, my aunts and uncles, my friends and my finished kinfolk. Islam would not inquire from me to take action. Sorry to disappoint. you have matters it is your call, stay with hate all you decide on yet do not placed that dislike in my mouth, you needless to say don't have the 1st clue!

I'm denied actions that gratuitously injure myself or others. I am to avoid being harmful as mush as is possible.
I'm denied nothing I enjoy. My faith is more about doing what is right, not just avoiding doing what is wrong. (I find that kind of thinking lazy and without passion.) It is action in the direction of goodness and wholesomeness that concerns me. There are sacrifices of time, money, effort and compassion, but all of my own choosing. No one thing is taboo.

My desires and pleasures are in line with God's desires and pleasures. Therefore, my religion forbids me nothing.

I may eat more red meat than I should, but that's about it, and I really am the happier for it. Not about the meat, but because I'm doing okay otherwise. : )

Religion???
Sorry religion is man made and I have nothing to do with religion.
But I'm sure traditions of men, precepts of men, rituals of men, and doctrines of men are a bottomless pit of things forbidden.
