So you Muslims don't any of you have a clue why you do it but you do as you are commanded? Well that sure sounds appealing.

Was there no such time in your life ? Not a second when you thought so ? Be honest.Anyone ?
Well, okay, yes. When I was very very young I thought my father was an authority and I felt inspired to avoid his holy spankings. Funny though now that I am grown I don't find myself hungering for the good old days when I felt servile and inferior. So thanks but no thanks. No gods for me.
