Here is the place to discuss religious and spiritual matters.
"Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."
Why do most (if not all....except pagan based) religions seem to denigrate women to second class status? Women get a *BAD* rap when it comes to religious beliefs. WHY?? Women are life bearers/givers....
Islam is so deeply divided, all Muslims seem to claim the Koran supports their side of the argument, so I reckon it's about time I read it for myself. Can anyone recommend a particularly good...
