|    Muslims And Their 72 Virgins    |
|    22 May 13 21:45:37    |
      I have reason to believe that the 72 virgins that are promised to Muslims who       kill infidel are going to be male and gay.              I am looking at this matter from the perspective of some in Christianity,       according to whom Mohammad was given the Quran not by Allah but by Satan.               Now what do we know about Satan? We know that he is a liar, and a very skilled       liar. He would tell you what you want to hear, but would omit some crucial       details. The result would be you getting technically what you expect to get,       but it would not be        what you are actually expecting.              One case known in Western literature was in one of Shakespeare's plays. A man       gets a prophecy that he would not be killed by anyone born of a woman. The man       thinks that this means that he would not get killed at all; instead what it       really means is that        he would get killed by someone not naturally born and brought to life through       a Caesarean.              With Muslims and their 72 virgins in heaven prophecy, we have reason to expect       the exact same thing. They would get their 72 virgins, but they wouldn't be       the kinds of virgins that they are expecting. They will get 72 gay male       virgins or 72 women who are        virgins because of being extremely obese. The Muslim would realize that he has       been deceived by Satan; but it would be too late.              While there are more Christians claiming pagans or followers of the Eastern       religions to be Satanists than there are Christians claiming Muslims to be       Satanists, if their claims of Jesus being the one true way are true then       Muslims are serving the Satan        as well. Which means, according to the logic of such Christians, that Quran       was authored by the Satan. And if it is in fact authored by the Satan, then we       should expect it to operate according to the logic of the Satan: The logic of       credible-sounding        deceptions that claim to give you what you want but in fact give to you       something completely different.              The people who kill for God on all directions are serving Satan. Not only does       an omnipotent entity not need your help, but this same omnipotent entity has       commanded you to be good to one another. If a religious text tells you to kill       for God, then that        religious text was not authored by God. God could kill anybody himself if he       wanted to; and if he does not then that means that he does not want them       killed.              From the position of Christianity therefore, Quran was authored by the Satan,       and there is every reason to expect it to operate according to the logic of       the Satan: The logic of credible-sounding lies. And from the position of       reason, the people who kill        for God are living in ignorance. God does not need people to kill anyone. He       is omnipotent and can do this himself. A real God would not be proud of any       such conduct by his followers; and if a religious text says that he would then       that religious text        cannot be credited to God.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
