- Go to 72 virgins? - I want 100
RedStatesMan - you must be dumber than a sack of hammers
Like I give a flying fig who wins the election in your country. As for the words you clipped from atheists.org . . . yeah so? There are religious crazies in this world, is that supposed to be news? I'm still waiting for the day that you make a valid point or say something, anything, that isn't just more of your mindless drivel. It must be tough living in a world that refuses to comply with your delusions.

Re: RedStatesMan - isn't there a floor that needs sweeping somewhere?
From your own ilk comes this:
The first pillar is the recitation (preferably in Arabic) of the creed, or shahada: "There is no god but Allah, and Mohammed is his prophet." If Allah is the only god in the neighborhood, Trinitarian Christians and Hindus are endlessly blaspheming true religion. Despite the occasionally tolerant references in the Qur’an to "People of the Book" (Jews and Christians in addition to Muslims), the non-Muslims need to be eliminated. Convert them or kill them, or make them pay a religious ransom to continue the private practice of their religion. (Of necessity, Muslims must reject the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.) Atheists and Agnostics, who deny the reality of Allah, are also wicked blasphemers. They need to be eliminated also. It is preferable to kill them. - http://www.atheists.org/Islam/mohammedanism.html
The above is from atheists.org. It is true by your comments that I am a child; a child of God. However, it seems that you have many issues to battle so I will leave you with this to spend your time sweeping up! Keep supporting Hussein Obama and good luck with your future!

Your nonsensical and barely coherent ramblings about the democratic nominee make you sound like a child. This is not a blog for children, the adults are talking now. You be a good little chucklehead and run along, go do whatever it is that spun fundies do.

Luz_Briar - I think that 72 is indicative of the fact that people in that
part of the world love to haggle.
They probably asked for 120, Allah countered with 50 and so on . . . .

Re: Islam's Paradise certainly is a lot better than Christianity's
Oh, I get it XENO, this is why you support Hussein for president, someone with known terrorist ties and a Muslim background. By the way, there is one big difference between Christians and radical Islam. We do not chop off your head if you disagree with our beliefs or force you to adopt our religion. I do not think atheist would fare to well under Muslim rule. Better start facing east and thinking about those mythical virgins.

Xeno-x - We may think that the indoctrination and social conditioning
within our societies is inescapable but in their societies . . .
It is far more rigid and unwavering. Mix in a cause fostered by hatred, endorsed by all within the indvidual's nurturing environment (including parents and family), and they end up with young men willing to waste themselves. And for what? Some juvenile fantasy?

Re: Xeno-x - the funny part about it is that it is pretty obvious that it is a
good question about brainwarshed
Jim Jones comes to mind.
Other Christian and religious figures here in the U.S.A.
Lots of people believe things and want to believe things.

starday - Re: Well thankyou
That's the thing that struck me right off the bat and as I was saying to Xeno-x; it's pretty obvious who designed this heaven. Like all ancient "holy" scriptures, women only play minor roles as characters within the stories and when they do get a major role, they usually get blamed for something. To my knowledge, there is not a manuscript utilized as doctrine in any of the major religions on this planet that was authored by a woman.

men's only paradise.
It seems to be nothing more than a juvenile fantasy . . . Hugh Hefner designs heaven. Then the question is begged; how brainwashed and ignorant does someone have to be to sacrifice themselves for this promise?

Well thankyou
I have learnt something today. They get 72 virgins for there trouble of being a matyr. What happens if all the women get together and say to the men 'we want to stay virgins thank you very much'. Guess that would become the mans hell!!!!!! sorry just a joke. Thankyou for your post

I'd rather have all those pleasures.
Hate to think of playing on a harp and singing "Holy, holy, holy!" for eternity -- just to bolster the ego of the Supreme Being who already should know he's supreme.
