So wil - do then believe that if there were a Creator "He/She/It" (however you would see it) would have no concern for "His/Her/Its" creation ? I have heard (perhaps more than the average person) since youth that "God doesn't care" - I certainly ascribed to that belief for a good while, but I...

I am Muslim and I believe that The Qur'an (Recitation) is the words of Allah revealed to Prophet Muhammad. Homosexuality is forbidden in Islam as are many other things, however there are some now interpreting the Quranic story of the People of Lut/Lot in a similar way that some people are of...

I understand what you're saying - people speaking for "God" has and does create problems. I only wish to point out that maybe just because "God" doesn't judge something as wrong doesn't necessarily mean "God" is disinterested or doesn't care - it is simply my belief, my opinion I'm sharing -...

To create us as sexual creatures and have no interest in our sexuality ? I think The Creator is interested in every aspect of creation - far more inerested than any of us and incomparably so. How - or even if - The Creator "judges" is a different issue imo - but The Supreme, I believe, has a...

Yes you did wil - and no it's not - stay down - you're a true warrior.

So...you've discovered my secret headquarters - have a good year Brother !

@KnowSelf - do you then believe there is no such thing as imperfection ? That imperfection is an illusion ?

In Islam, sex is not simply for the purpose of replenishing the earth. There is reward and pleasure. It is narrated that once Imam Jafar Al-Sadiq asked his students - “What is the most pleasurable thing?” To which they responded, “There are many pleasurable things.” He then says, “The most...

Everything should be queationed imo, including the blanket rejection & condemnation of organized religion and the ignoring of any deeds or qualities produced by organized religion. Absolute reliance upon logic & reason while dismissing & devaluing emotion & intuition might work well for...

Illogicality is an inescapable reality of humankind as are our numerous weaknesses. Acknowledging & accepting these things is not a denial of the meaningfulness of the life journey itself. It is obvious - to me - that freedom & happiness are experienced in this worldly life by human beings in...

And if Saturday doesnt work for you - there's always Friday ! The Imam won't tell you Jesus died & was resurrected for you there either and will emphesize a personal, unmediated communion between you and The Creator.

Thank you ! This is an interesting study to and I'm gonna look deeper into it. Changing Faiths for me felt very exciting, renewing and liberating. @Cino I didn't kniw Narcissism was actually a disorder until you mentioned it

Been enjoying the new Jinjer album - the Ukranian band with the awesome female vocalist Tatiana Shmaylyuk. Many great songs on their new album

Interesting subject. Curious - Is the soul soul subject to entropy ? And what do you think could be the Divine purpose of entropy ? You are an Environmental Scientists - what is your take on this piece from George Carlin on "Saving the Planet" ?

It's maybe more in line with what you're saying - I think - goodness simply IS - in my belief, as an inherent Spiritual quality of people. Religion encourages & can even cultivate it, but does not cause it to be.

That could perhaps be categorized under Spirituality ? A Spiritual Inclination ??

Would you consider the Noahide Laws a form (or evidence) of a Pre-Abrahamic organized belief system ? 1. Do not deny God. 2. Do not murder. 3. Do not steal. 4. Do not engage in sexual immorality. 5. Do not blaspheme. 6. Do not eat of a live animal. 7. Establish courts and legal systems to...

I really don't go for race, sex or gender superiority & inferiority, but if I did it would seem to me that the inferior would need the head start - not the superior and that the superior would be the dominant ones - not the inferior.

I view the world as a created revelation from an un-created Source - Allah. I believe the Kawn (Cosmos) and/or Kaynunah (Existence) is a manifestation of the Command of Allah - Kun (Be/Is) - all these words from the same root, in Quran expressed in the phrase Kun fayakun (Be and it Is). I...
