I am responding to JackSparrow's earlier post here (http://www.thinkaloo.com/ideas/view/view_idea.php?id=1334) about squat principles in Islam. The text in Greek on top of this door reads: "Room for free expression and self-concentration". As you can see, what people in the West do in the toilet Can have spiritual significance. The spiritual dimension of one's toilet activity here seems equally important to the physical aspect of it. It be no surprise if some people behind this door practice the insignia with religious fervor. That the Pope didn't include the principles behind this form of spirituality in his teachings could have been, after all, a grave omission :)

I'm having this debate in my head...Why is there a limit as to how many times a person can get remarried? I don't see the reason for setting limits. Why is a limit of 3 times better than a limit of 5 or 10 times? What's the point of setting limits on human relationships? Shouldn't people be free to arrange them in any way they want?

If you sprinkle holy water inside a condom and contraception didn't work, does the child have God's blessing? Can you avoid contracting HIV if you sprinkle your penis with holy water and not use the condom? I don't understand why the Catholic Church bans the use of condoms yet spends a lot of money to pay for HIV treatments. How much more guilty can they feel inside their hearts....

If polygamy is the right of man to marry more than one woman, I define polywomany as the right of man to mate more than one woman. Before Christianity it was ok for the rich and powerful at the top to engage in polygamy and polywomany. This made it difficult for those at the bottom to mate and reproduce. Until Christianity reversed this with the monogamy commandment. Religion was fair to the weak and powerless. It gave everyone more chances to reproduce by restricting concentrated multi-mating. Do you think this was intentional or was it a consequence?

For me number 5 is the most hilarious. Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal?? That sounds as hard to follow as a fellow Catholic would find "No sex before marriage" to be. Obviously, no pure Satanist can take it seriously. Imagine you're pure to your faith because you have the devil inside and your Church makes up rule number 5 and asks you to control your lust. It's almost saying "Ban Rape" from your life. It's such a preposterously Christian thing to ask, it's so preposterous it's not even funny. (read more)

For me, one of the most interesting aspects of the Abrahamic religions is that all three were created by members of the male gender. I think this goes a long way toward explaining why it was written that Men are created in the image of God (who -- surprise, surprise -- also happens to be a fella) and why woman was created From a man, not independently. By utilizing the literary devise of woman's being be borne from part of the male body (his rib), it placed the fairer sex in an eternally submissive position. (read more)

If science proves what lies after death, whatever that is, would that spell the end of all major religions like Christianity, Judaism, Islam etc? All we now know is that we die for sure. Religions give us answers and make promises for the life there is after death, but if you knew for sure what happens after you die, would you feel the need to believe in religion?

then why not Elect Sarah Palin? Why would you need experience or knowledge when you have God the Great on your side to win wars for you? I think people should vote for Sarah Palin and God will win more wars for America. Dear God, will you please spare Europe this time? :)
