> For example - earth goes around the sun. Assuming that is correct,
is it natural. By natural we mean, wild, no order. Does not look like
it is to me. Same thing when a car goes round and round a circle, is
that natural? Are there no other places this car can go to?
You are now officially my favorite poster on FFL. BTW about that car
driving in a circle thing, I only had like two beers but the problem
was that I drank them in 20 seconds in a beer bong hat while behind
the wheel. So it was not really my fault.
<snip> life is a battle; it is a struggle. Live or die. NO ifs nor
buts. Life moves on. You lag behind, you die.
I thought was talked about some lighter material here. Like maybe a
joke or something including a rabbi a priest and a hindu monk entering
a bar...something of that nature goes over very well.
NO ifs nor buts. This makes the 10 Commandments not from God. This
makes the 10 Commandments a scam.
Especially the one about banging married chicks. Who does God think
we are going to meet during free wing night during happy hour Friday
night at the bar next to the convention center during the Midwestern
teacher's conference...duh...out of town married chicks trying to get
their freak on! It would actually be a sin not to scoop up some free
action without even a need to buy them dinner! I love this town. (If
you get there early they have free fried mozzarella sticks but they
run out quickly)

Any luck with enhancing pectoral muscles? I don't mean like man boobs
or anything gross like that but maybe something like Christopher
Reeves had working before the horse thing? Or perhaps enlightenment
could grow some hair on my chest because the chest toupee I wear to
the beach is itchy and once fell off onto a sunbather whose tan line
picture I was absolutely NOT taking despite what the beach patrol says.

> Attributes of God ( Allah )

>
>
> To Allah belong the most beautiful names. The Holy Qur'an says: {{"
Say (O Muhammad): "Invoke Allâh or invoke the Most Beneficent (Allâh),
by whatever name you invoke Him (it is the same), for to Him belong
the Best Names. And offer your Salât (prayer) neither aloud nor in a
low voice, but follow a way between. }}, ) Holy Qur'an 17:110 (.
> Sources of Islam give no less than ninety-nine different attributes
to Allah Almighty. The Holy Qur'an refers to Allah as Ar-Rahman (Most
Gracious), Ar-Raheem (Most Merciful) and Hakeem (All Wise) among many
other names.
>
> God does not take human form:
> Many religions at some point believe, directly or indirectly, in the
philosophy of anthropomorphism i.e. God is palatable to become a
human. Their contention is that God Almighty is so pure and holy to
the extent that He is unaware ( It is true that Allah is not like us,
but this does not mean that He is unaware of our situations!! !?- I
would rather say: is far away) of the hardships, shortcomings and
feelings of human beings. In order to set the rules for human beings,
He came down to earth as a human. Let us now analyze this argument and
see if it stands to reason.
> Suppose I manufacture a videocassette recorder (VCR). Do I have to
become a VCR to know what is good or what is bad for the VCR? What do
I do? I write a manual instruction. "In order to watch a video
cassette, you should insert the cassette and press on the play button.
In order to stop, press on the stop button. If you want to fast
forward press on the FF button. Do not drop it from a height or it
will get damaged. Do not immerse it in water or it will get ruined".
These manual instructions list the various do's and don'ts for the
machine. Similarly, our Lord and Creator, Allah does not need to take
the human form so as to know what is good or bad for the human being.
He chooses to reveal the manual instructions. The last and final
manual instruction that is sent down to the human beings is the
Glorious Qur'an whose `do's' and `don'ts' are mentioned to the human
beings through the Holy Verses. If you allow me to compare human
beings with machines, I would say humans are
> more complicated than the most complex machines in the world. Even
the most advanced computers, which are extremely complex, are pale in
comparison to the physical, psychological, genetic, and social factors
that affect individuals and collective human life. The more advanced
the machine is, the greater the need for its manual instruction is. By
the use of the same criteria, don't the human beings require a manual
instruction by which it is easy to govern their own lives?
> Therefore, Allah does not come down personally to give the manual
instruction. He chooses a man amongst men to deliver the message and
communicates with him at a higher level through the medium of
revelations. Such chosen men are called messengers and prophets of God.
>
> God does not perform ungodly acts:
> The attributes of Almighty God preclude any evil since God is the
source of justice, mercy and truth. God can never be thought of as
doing an ungodly act. Hence, we cannot imagine God telling a lie,
being unjust, making a mistake, forgetting things, or having any such
human failings. Similarly, God can do injustice if He chooses to, but
He will never do it because being unjust is an ungodly act. The Holy
Qur'an says: {{ Surely! Allâh wrongs not even of the weight of an atom
(or a small ant) , but if there is any good (done), He doubles it, and
gives from Him a great reward..}},( Holy Qur'an 4:40). God can be
unjust if He chooses to be so, but the moment God does injustice, He
ceases to be God.
>
> God does not make mistake:
> God can make mistakes if He wants to, but He does not make mistakes,
because making a mistake is ungodly act. The Holy Qur'an says: {{
My
Lord is neither unaware nor He forgets, ".}},) Holy Qur'an 20:52). The
moment God makes a mistake, he ceases to be God.
>
> God does not forget:
> God can forget if He wants to. But God does not forget anything
because forgetting is an ungodly act, which reeks of human limitations
and failings. The Holy Qur'an says:
> {{
My Lord is neither unaware nor He forgets, ".}},) Holy Qur'an
20:52).
