Jinn come from Islam, although the word is used in several Arabic translations of the Bible. Genies are captive jinn. Wait a minute, read it your own damn self!

Goddamn. Did this thread really devolve into claims that Djinn exist? Anyways...

I might be convinced if Jesus simultaneously appeared on both sides of a grilled cheese I just made.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

I just want to confirm that this is true. Akinator is very popular here in the UK.

At the same time I do not encourage doing this because usually they summon evil dastardly jinn who could easily wreck your life.

So is God having a little Jinn infestation in His creation He can't quite seem to get under control? Or are Jinn all part of God's plan, His emissaries so to speak?
The Jinn are God's creation, just like humans. They have free-will, just like us.

Great, now, I'm sure you are aware that if you hop on the tube in the morning, you're more than likely to pick up a free copy of the "metro" newspaper. Do you read it?

Nope. I don't read anything associated with the Daily Mail except when I troll the comments on mail online.

Excuse me for my ignorance, but I genuinely have no idea what the relationship is between the metro and the daily mail.
