Mixed sex handshakes banned in somalia

RE: Mixed sex handshakes banned in somalia
Perhaps the Islamic law, which makes women cover themselves with huge black bags and fly screans, was inspired by the earlier practice, by lonely sheepherders, who covered their sheep in black cloth before mounting them ? ? ? Confusedhock:
The existance of a "God" is a moral impossibility.

Its actually a known shiah custom. Not too common for sunnis. But they are the same shit just looking at it upside down... There is only one thing to say about it:
Danger! Danger! High voltage! When we touch, when we kiss..
Quote:Many that live deserve death. Some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them, Frodo? Do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment. Even the very wise cannot see all ends.

We can definitely have fun, but there are certain worldly pleasures that we have to sacrifice for a greater good (in the afterlife). That's an important part of developing our souls.

That's true, but there could be something that happens in the brain or in the heart which God is aware of even though we don't feel it ourselves (after giving a handshake to the opposite gender).

Oh, wearisome condition of Muslims, Born under one law, to another bound; Vainly begot, and yet forbidden vanity, Created sick, commanded to be sound. I can see why Muslim would be particularly easy to talk into ending their own existences.

I put it to you that you wouldn't know fun if it stoned you to death.

Stoning is probably the only fun they are allowed to have.

What kind of stoning? I mean, I always thought that smoking a big-ass bong would be one of the things they frowned upon.

As a side note, this is one of the reasons why religion is not only not necessary for understanding morality, it actually is a hindrance.

Removing the clutter of religious thinking and looking at the world from a naturalist view, it's clear that morality is a function of how we treat our fellow sentient beings. Exactly where lines should be drawn can be a complex issue but we understand the basic principle that questions of morality apply where our actions impact the happiness and well-being of others.

Religious thinking clutters the mental and moral landscape with many rules that have nothing to do with morality and may actually cause harm. It distracts with many petty rules like "don't shake hands with a female", "don't work on the Sabbath" or "don't eat pork on every second Tuesday of the month" (I made that last one up). Such distracting rules can lead to the implementation of laws like "you can't sell booze on Sunday", "sex is illegal when money changes hands", or "love is evil when the body parts are similar and so same-gender marriage is illegal". These forms of legislated morality can serve to violate the rights of individuals, punishing them for victimless crimes or restricting their choices in matters that don't affect anyone else. Therefore, legislated morality on victimless crimes, a product of religious thinking, is actually immoral.

Worse still, sometimes religious clutter on issues of morality lead to disastrous and harmful choices. The Catholic Church has discouraged condom use in places ravaged by AIDS. Protestant Churches have pushed for "abstinence only sex education" which has led to increases in teen pregnancy. Religious efforts to block stem cell research has slowed medical progress in curing debilitating diseases like Parkinson's.

Religion is neither necessary nor helpful to understand morality.

What stupidity. Enjoying yourself (in a manner that does not harm others, of course) will somehow create problems for you "in the afterlife"? And the evidence that this crap is true is....?

More stupidity! Why aren't you worried that a woman will "feel something" when she sees a man walking down the street? Why are women the only ones forced to wear sacks over their heads? Men should wear them as well! Otherwise, women could see an attractive man and "feel something"!

I asked this before and you never answered. Why don't men have to wear sacks over their heads? Why just the women?

Science flies us to the moon and stars. Religion flies us into buildings.

God allowed 200,000 people to die in an earthquake. So what makes you think he cares about YOUR problems?
