What sucks due to my religion (for me).

Oh and be sure to point out where it says in your Quran where it says that all infidels are to be killed in the name of your precious Allah. That'll get you a first date for sure.

It is certainly valid to point out that followers of Islam can and do read the words in the Koran and justify harm to others. But the Jewish OT and Christian bible have commands to get violent with outside tribes and justifications for harming others.

Those books were all written in very tribal and feudal times when the mortality rate was much higher and survival depended on loyalty to the tribe. That is why the they read the way they do.

Here's a starter for 10: why would God be so petty as to make these silly rules?

Keeping society with husband and wife committed to each other, kids raised knowing their parents, is quite important don't you think?

People acting loosely can always result in other families being broken or kids born out of wedlock, or kids having wrong father (due to adultery).

I don't think you can solve the issue of adultery without solving fornication, they compliment each other.

Errrrrr!! Then Allah doesn't know the basics of polygamy affecting society. Polygamy, which is sanctioned by the Qu'ran, always has a destabilizing affect on societies. It causes an excess of young men with no wives and that problem is compounded by a society that promotes sexual fidelity. The exact problem that you are going through now and I believe a large reason that the polygamist societies in the Muslim world and Africa are almost always unstable. This is an undeniable historical trend, from modern Muslim and African societies to the Medieval Vikings and Mongols to Mormons in America in the 1800s. All of them suffered from an excess of young men which caused chaos and instability. I guess we can put sociology (along with my previous ignored examples of linguistics and geography) amoungst the subjects an all-knowing god knows nothing about.

Like you I won't exist one day, however unlike you I'll be getting laid this New Years and no epileptic con-man from the 7th century is going to affect my decisions. Life is precious, with or without a God existing and seeing people waste their youth and joy to follow the edicts of people who haven't existed for centuries is very sad. Go to the party, fuck the girl and never use the word 'fornication' again.
