What sucks due to my religion (for me).

Well, according to your religion, she deserves a "fiery doom" just for not submitting to your version of what God is.

So unless you actually believe that, you're not following the Quran anyway.

Oh, and her book says you deserve to be punished for not submitting to her version of God.

It's not a healthy start to a relationship, is it?

MK, where you live, are better off being a believer?
If so, play it safe. Don't risk getting your head chopped off.

The lust you feel towards her is just the devil tempting you.
If you give in, you go to hell forever... simple as that.
Don't let these atheist scum pervert your relationship with the almighty.
It's all in your book man, don't take MY word for it!

Be safe!

PS (you wouldn't have her phone number by any chance?)

You know what she does sound nice Mystic has done a great job of advertising her charms and we know she is "available".

I read the op while having an amazing breakfast of sausage eggs and bacon while listening in tribute to some vintage Motörhead.

FSM has given me no restrictions, sucks to be you op.

I am torturing myself that much is true.

It doesn't sound to me like you really believe that Islam makes sense. If Islam makes sense and isn't an arbitrary set of rules, shouldn't it be obvious to you why you are prescribed to act in certain ways? Shouldn't you be able to see clear as day that it is not desirable to go there? But you don't. That you're conflicted about it, that tells me you already doubt whether the code you are following makes any sense. It must seem to you like an arbitrary pointless chicanery set up by some unintelligible invisible ruler.

So I was invited by a girl I really like to go somewhere new years.  Only thing I know there is alcohol, music, dancing, etc, so not allowed going.

SO IT SUCKS THAT I CAN'T GO.

Secondly although earlier I did temporary marriage/relationship (mutal nikah) with this person, however I realized she is a fornicator through out her life, which Quran forbids any form of marriage to up until they repent and change their ways.

SO IT SUCKS THAT I CAN'T YOU KNOW NOW.

If I could convince myself Islam is not true, I would. I would really. LOOK AT WHAT I'M MISSING OUT ON. But I know it to be true and can't go against my knowledge, and cover it up.


SHE HAS BLUE EYES. BLUE EYES. PRETTY. 

But at least I'm going to see her tomorrow.

There certainly ARE non religious SECULAR reasons you don't do certain things. 

I did lots of stupid things as a teen and young adult looking back at it now that could have gotten me into trouble. Sex I had that could have gotten my partner pregnant, I was lucky. But none of that risk taking was do to a cosmic hero and a cosmic arch rival battling over the neurons in my head.

It is ok to drink in moderation. It is not ok to drink and drive or get so drunk you hurt property or other people. It is ok to have sex with consent and if you are worried about disease get tested and use condoms. Oral and anal sex count regardless of sexuality.

The morality of old books of myth are not objective. They may act as a deterrent, but not in any real sense. They make moral claims as arbitrary "do as I say", which is just dictating, having nothing to do with understanding reality as it is.

You won't burn in hell if you drink or have sex. You can get arrested for drunk driving and destruction of property or assault if drunk, even when not drunk, still not ok to assault others. You wont burn in hell if you have sex outside of marriage. You will get arrested if you rape someone or have sex with someone under age, even with consent. 

Mind you, this is not an attack on you, or one religion or one holy book. This is a statement that our species morality, when we do good OR BAD, it is coming from us.

File this OP away as yet another case in answer to the perpetual question, "religion...what's the harm?"

No sex, drinking, dancing...all normal, healthy activities in moderation. Except dancing. That shit can mess you up.

Sex, drinking, dancing - what the rest of us call it: life.

[Joods]

Yet you are willing to resort to peer pressure to get her to believe as you do.

Eh, not going to peer pressure her, just going to present Islam as I understand it and present the proofs of it that I come to believe in of it. It's up to her to believe or not.

Dating tip #305: How to turn off a potential mate

Indoctrination of any religion with obvious violent tendencies is a sure fire way to make someone you're interested in, turn and RUN in the opposite direction. It is singlehandedly the most surefire way to ensure that you will not ever get a first date.

[Joods]

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.

Were you born into a Muslim family?

Have you ever thought about the odds of being born into the right religion? What sort of god would expect you to abide by a set of rules that he never gives you a clear version of in the first place?

To you the Quran is the absolute truth, and anyone who questions it just doesn't get it. To millions of Christians, the same is true of the bible. To Scientologists it's Dianetics. No religion is as unique as it claims to be. Especially when they all claim to have the sole source of truth.

You can't convince yourself that Islam isn't true. No more than you can convince any of us that Islam is true. You can't just choose to believe or disbelieve. There's plenty of evidence that none of the world's religions know anything more than anyone else. Accepting it is a matter of your own personal set of logic. It's not something anyone can change.

Personally I asked myself why the God of the old testament was so present, and now that we have video cameras and photographs that he's so absent. I took a good hard look at the other religions we now regard as little more than myths, and realize that my own religion was no different from theirs. That's not enough for people who's faith has been built up strong. My faith was weakened by many things. I learned to enjoy life because of it, but I didn't lose my faith so that I could enjoy life. Rather it was a natural consequence for me.
