Re: Religious Insecurities
At one point some say that 'Not even a leaf moves without God's will', and the next moment people are worried how this religion or that religion will survive. Just as God created these religions for the good of mankind by His will, he can destroy them when they cease to be good when He wills. It is foolish to think that we can change His will.
Re: Religious Insecurities
^^ Surya Would that justify terrorist actions as well. Since it is "gods will"?
Re: Religious Insecurities
Kashif, on a personal level a person with a murderous tendency has a choice of the path of his actions. He may or may not take the right path. So for say 100 such people, 50 may go one way and 50 the other. But if you look at a bigger picture and say thousands of people with such murderous tendencies are born at one place or in one faith, obviously bad things are written for these people and the people around them. So if it is God's will for certain place to suffer terrorist actions, people with such murderous tendencies shall be born in those places.
Re: Religious Insecurities
Well 17 of the 19 hijackers were born in Saudi Arabia so using your logic then most saudis would be bad.
God/Allah made/created us and gave a brain to reason. It is upto us to apply ourselves to good things or bad things. You do bad things Allah has made Hell, you do good things Allah puts us in Heaven. But Allah leaves it to us how we manage ourselves. Allah has sent messengers (prophets) to guide us along the way, because it gets confusing as mankind harnesses technology and acquires new skills, to keep up with Allah and his message. So prophets came and guided us and went away, people followed them but as mankind advanced the message was either lost or re-written/modified.
Quran preserves all that. However the terrorists mis-construe that and use a holy book to their advantage.
I am sorry I am getting carried away. All I am trying to say is that mankind alone has the tendency to make rational decisions and God doesnt instruct soemone to do bad things and others to do good things.
Sorry about the boring post.

Re: Religious Insecurities
Verizon it is always nice to let people know how insecure you are about your religion. And we can see that indeed you are insecure by all of your posts.

Re: Religious Insecurities
Thats it Kaleem spill.
Re: Religious Insecurities
sadly, it seems so kaleemsaab. i will convey messages as requested....until the return
Re: Religious Insecurities
MQ, you have to pay just a bit more attention and you will see it yourself.
Re: Religious Insecurities
Mama, tell him to keep his chin up, and to stay away from Madhanee and Matsui, they are nothing but trouble. They are spoiling your good husband. 
Re: Religious Insecurities
^ You are right. Except I didnt even have to pay attention.
Mamaof3 – Maybe this way you can get him to do some house work!
Re: Religious Insecurities
I cna finally hear him NOW
Re: Religious Insecurities
What Verizon is banned? oh no. Now who will entertain us? First Madhanee and now Verizon :(
Re: Religious Insecurities
MQ, lol and:) but you know, he is so good abt that anyway....i feel so bad that he is banned. sukkers. whatever he said to whoever got him banned surely deserved at least as much as he/she got.
Re: Religious Insecurities
Dont feel bad about it. He’ll be back before you can say tomorrow! And nobody gets banned just because somebody asks the mods/admins to ban them. When theres a fuss on gs, even the innocents get banned. Its all or none.Or so it seems.
Re: Religious Insecurities
Yes we shall miss him. Incase he is still on his period can you ask him if he wants the tampons I was going to buy for him now or next time around.
Thanks
Re: Religious Insecurities
^ Yaar I have no means of contacting him. I think you should ask Matsui about this. He will forward your message to Verizon.
Re: Religious Insecurities
i think there should be a poll, and the guppians should decided whther a particular guppy should b banned for something that the mods find offensive. What happened to democracy, where is my freedom to vote...
