It's still your magic book..and it's not my job to read it to you. If it's such a big deal, maybe you should go twist your scrotum into knots around the verses like generations of apologists before you?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

OMG..how did I miss reading this verse?
Quote:Sura 24, The Quran:
( 58 ) O you who have believed, let those whom your right hands possess and those who have not [yet] reached puberty among you ask permission of you [before entering] at three times: before the dawn prayer and when you put aside your clothing [for rest] at noon and after the night prayer. [These are] three times of privacy for you. There is no blame upon you nor upon them beyond these [periods], for they continually circulate among you - some of you, among others. Thus does Allah make clear to you the verses; and Allah is Knowing and Wise.
If the Quran is advocating pedophilia; how is it warning adults from exposing their bodies to children? and forcing a law on adults to raise their children to accept the privacy of grown ups?

Magic book says a great many contradictory things. Not my problem.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies.

I can't imagine the mental burden of having to justify to yourself everything one of these books has to say. Life is hard enough as it is.

I hear ya, can't find the time to read a good science book without falling asleep anymore on the sofa, let alove those inane drivels about beings that are there if we really want to believe they are there.
Work, family, sleep (a bit of forum in between, not an FB guy).

Read the science book AND holy book; in other words distribute your reading time between the two. That way you'll read both.
The Quran is about 600 pages. Imagine years spent reading just these 600 pages as the share needed for religion: you'll know the message of God directed to you with details. Unlike the thousands of pages the religious institution put in front of you.
There are 24 hours a day. Maybe if sleep or friends are affecting your ability to do other activities freely; you need a smaller circle ? and less sleeping hours !
In Japan, lots of people (40 % actually) sleep for less than 6 hours a night.

The Japanese are not to be emulated.
Seriously, the way they raise their children, no thanks.
The problem is that the Japanese indoctrinate their children through perfection without error in the way that Christians indoctrinate their children through perfection without error.

@Atlas: So you don't believe humans are intelligently designed then?
How can life be "a test", if there was no intelligence to set up the test? Or do you just mean that metaphorically, such as a hole in the road being a "test" to see who will fall into it?

Just gonna bump this question in case you missed it. I'm very interested in how this works.
